| Organic CSA What's It All About? Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership of individuals who support farmers with a pledge of financial support. As part of the team, members provide input into the organic produce that is grown. In return for their financial commitment members are assured the receipt of safe, organic produce on a weekly basis. Farmers are freed from the burden of debt and return the rewards of the labors to the shareholders. Members and farmers together enjoy the bounty of good, organic produce. How Does It Work ? Members will receive a weekly shopping list that they will use for deciding what items and quantities they would like to receive each week. Members will select items and quantities on their shopping list totaling $25. All members, regardless of plan, receive a minimum of 20% off normal retail prices. Members will then submit the next weeks list so that the right amounts of each item can be provided. Please note: you will be ordering your items one week in advance. Additional shopping lists will be provided at the pickup location for members to plan for the subsequent weekly allotments of produce. Members then can pick up their produce at the CSA location, Lewis' Veggie Farm Stall, at Roadrunner Park, 36th St. & Cactus, on Saturdays between 7:30 and 11:30am. Using the previously submitted shopping list, members will weigh and bag their own vegetables from baskets from that weeks fresh harvest. Also, volunteering a little time at the distribution location will help aid in a smooth distribution and adds an additional opportunity to support the CSA. Eventually, we hope to be able to provide interested members the chance of volunteering to help harvest at the farm. PRICING Full Share (50 weeks): $ 750 *Best Deal @ $15/week for $25 worth of produce* Half Share (26 weeks): $ 520 Summer__Fall__Winter__Spring__ Pick Two Quarter Share (12 weeks): $ 240 Summer__Fall__Winter__Spring__ Pick One Seasons are as follows (Seasons Do Overlap) Summer: May thru July Fall: August thru October Winter: November thru January Spring: February thru April Payments: *Credit Cards will be accepted at the Distribution Point (Roadrunner Park) (There will be a 3.5% fee for credit cards) *Payment plans can be arranged - please ask *Cash or Checks will also be accepted Important Notes: Do not expect all of your produce to come from the CSA. Most CSA's do not provide families with enough produce to meet their usual intake. Depending on the size of your family and how much you cook, you will probably find that you will either need to supplement your vegetables from your local grocery store or purchase additional items at the market. If you are not used to eating seasonally,you may find that it takes a while to make a transition from eating whatever is at the grocery store (pretty much everything) to whatever is in your CSA basket (what's in season). It may surprise you to find that, depending on the season, different items are available at different times of the year. What Else Do I Get When I Join ? When you join a CSA, you:
