We are now looking for new Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) members to join us in sharing the bounty for the 2009 season. A CSA is a kind of partnership with a local farm. You pay a certain dollar amount up front to the farmer at the beginning of the season, a time when farmers are most cash starved and need an extra cushion to help them get things up and running again. In return you will receive a weekly box of fresh, local, organic produce for the length of the season. In this partnership you also share the risks associated with farming, such as a catastrophic weather event, plague of locusts, or stampede of elephants that could wipe out most or all of the crops...highly unlikely but entirely possible.
I had a small and very successful CSA last year. Everyone involved gave me good feedback and were overall happy wi
th their boxes. This year I would like to double the amount of members.You will begin receiving the boxes on Thursday the 29th of May and every subsequent Thursday for 23 weeks until November. I can deliver if you live within the Talent - Ashland areas. There is a one time $20 delivery charge. If you don't live in Talent -Ashland you can pick your box up at the farm.
Price of a 2009 CSA
full share: $500
