2012 CSA signup information
Happy New Year, and it is past time to think about the coming season of fresh veggies!
This is a year of many changes for the farm, especially to the CSA program. This year’s CSA will be an on farm pickup, as there has been a good response to that alternative offered in my earlier announcement of the end (at least for this year) of our delivery routes.
So, briefly, the new plan is as follows: Small shares will be $360, large shares $540, similar to our delivered shares, as requested. The shares will be boxed, but there will a swap table where you can trade or add to your shares as produce is available. You will need to bring bags or a cooler to transfer your share into.
Based on responses, I’ve come up with two distribution times that work best for the farm schedule as well cover the windows of time requested by people who expressed an interest in a share. If these absolutely don’t work for enough people, I will try to accommodate a change.
The plan: Sundays 2-6pm and Thursday 3:30-6pm, you need to sign up for a specific day, and with 48hrs notice you could switch for that week.
I will attempt to maintain a weekly newsletter, but it will be briefer and with less recipes (unless someone wants to contribute!), mostly with information on what is expected that week.
There are 20 shares available for this season (we delivered over 70 last year), so if you are interested please respond quickly. The deadline is February 15th. Even If you previously let me know you wanted a share, you still need to get your form in, which is available here in pdf form.
Thank you for your past participation and interest in Gypsy Meadows Farm CSA program, and I look forward to seeing those of you who join this season and I hope that we can serve the rest of you in the future. I do plan to have a fall share plan for the coming season, letting me know soon that you’re interested will help me judge the planting I need to do.
Remember, if you don’t want to hear from us anymore, there is an unsubscribe button at the bottom of the page and you will be removed automatically (but I hope you will stay for news of future adventures in farming!).
Enjoy, Michael
