2010 SUMMER CSA IS NOW FULL
Our 2010 Summer CSA is now full althoughour farmstand is open to the public and you do not have to be a CSA member to shop at the farmstand.
The Summer CSA: Here's How It Works...
CSA shareholders pay for their vegetable "share" upfront and receive a portion of the farm's harvest weekly from early June through October. Members receive the freshest, highest quality certified organic produce available at wholesale cost.
Benefits of being a CSA Shareholder:
Organically-grown vegetables and fruits, harvested at their peak of nutritional value.
A large variety of pick-your-own vegetables, berries, and herbs.
A weekly e-newsletter containing seasonal recipes, as well as an update on the crops and notice of upcoming events.
The opportunity to learn how your food is grown.Access to Green Meadows fields and trails.

The Risk
Each growing season brings unique challenges. Occasionally a crop may fail due to conditions beyond our control. Our goal is to provide you with abundance throughout the growing season by growing a variety of produce.

Seasonality affects the size of your weekly share, but typically you will receive a large bag of produce. Here is a sample of what varieties you can expect:

2010 CSA Prices
Small Share $475
Large Share $650
Families are invited to "split" shares, however we ask that only one person at a time comes to pick up to avoid any confusion. Some families choose to alternate weeks.
Summer Fruit Co-Op
The summer fruit co-op consists of two 10-week sessions. For the price of $10 per week, you will receive approximately 2 – 4 varieties of fruit, for a total retail value of approximately $12. We focus the fruit distribution on local and domestic in-season fruit. The fruit share is not limited to current CSA members, and is open to the general public. We will be accepting fruit share sign ups in May.
