2012 Veggie Share Options

CSA starts  June 10 and continues through the week of October 14, 2012

Large Share                     $590                          

This option includes 19 consecutive weeks of produce from our farm, supplying enough for larger, moderate veggie eating families. This share is often split between families at the same site.

Standard Share                $320                                        

The most popular share we offer, supplying 19 consecutive weeks of vegetables and providing enough for smaller or busy families or those that eat veggies less often. It’s also great for those who want to supplement their gardens.

Every-Other-Week (EOW) Share                     $190       

A standard share distributed on alternating weeks, 10 weeks total, beginning the first week of CSA. Great for single people or those wanting to try out the CSA experience.

About Splitting Shares

You are welcome to split shares with a separate family; however, when signing up it’s not necessary to “split” with a spouse. This option is really just for separate families who want to take on fees independently or people who want to come to distribution separately. Just note this split on your form.

It is your responsibility to find a share partner. As share partners you are each responsible for your part of the membership fee, but if one of you no longer takes part in the CSA or cancels their payment the remaining partner is still responsible for all fees. Having a share partner is often nice if you’re planning on going on vacation; they can take your share when you’re gone, and vice-versa when they go on vacation.

When Splitting a Large Share: The two families do not have to come to distribution together, but must be signed up for the same site. At distribution each share partner follows the directions for a Standard Share and can pick their own items.

When Splitting a Standard Share: This is not advised, but if you do choose to split the standard share then you each come on alternating weeks. But, you cannot come to separate locations!

When Splitting an EOW Share: We no longer allow this option.
