ITS LIKE BUYING A PIECE OF OUR FUTURE AND IMPROVING YOURS AT THE SAME TIME.
YOU PURCHASE A SHARE OF THE PRODUCTION FOR A SEASON AND GET FRESH ORGANIC VEGGIES ALL SEASON FOR YOUR ONE TIME INVESTMENT. COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE HAS BEEN POPULAR ON THE EAST AND WEST COAST AREAS OF THE COUNTRY FOR YEARS AND IS QUICKLY SPREADING TO ALL AREAS OF THE COUNTRY. IN A CSA, MEMBERS SUPPORT THE FARMER IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON. THEY BUY SHARES OF PRODUCE FROM THE FARM TO BE AVAILABLE EACH WEEK. THEREFORE THE SHAREHOLDER ALSO SUSTAINS ANY LOSSES IN AVAILABLE VARIETY AND QUANITIES, ALONG WITH THE FARMER DURING THAT YEAR. TRADITIONAL CSA'S SUPPLY ONLY THE SHAREHOLDER MEMBERS WITH VEGETABLES EACH WEEK. SINCE WE HAVE RETAIL AND WHOLESALE MARKETS ALSO, WE HAVE ADAPTED OUR DISTRIBUTION SOMEWHAT. SHARES WILL CONSIST OF IN SEASON PRODUCE HARVESTED (TAILORED TO EACH SHAREHOLDER) EACH WEEK IN THE AMOUNT OF WHAT A FAMILY OF 2 ADULTS=1 SHARE, 4=2 SHARES, 6=3 SHARES, (YOU MAY CHOOSE TO BUY 1/2 SHARES FOR CHILDREN IN YOUR FAMILY) ETC WILL CONSUME IN A WEEK.

PICK-UPS COULD ALSO BE MADE AT THE MARKET (WITH A LIMITED SELECTION). FARM PICK-UP WILL BE ON MON. AND WED. AFTERNOONS ONLY, (SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE) EXTRA PRODUCE FOR CANNING AND FREEZING CAN BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY AT REDUCED PRICE TO CSA MEMBERS AS HARVEST PERMITS . SEASONAL COST WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE FAMILY. NORMALLY AT LEAST 1/2 OF THE SEASONS PAYMENT IS DUE BY MARCH 1.
