DON'T MISS OUT!
RESERVE YOUR SPOT FOR 2010
2010 SEASON
We are continuing to compile a list of interested
people for our 2010 CSA. We will be expanding our operation to accommodate
additional boxes in 2010 and look forward to
having more members. If you think you may be interested in joining our CSA for
the 2010 season you may fill out the form below. Filling out the form does not
obligate you to purchase a membership in 2010 nor does it ensure you a
membership. It merely provides us with a list of interested people to contact
later this spring when memberships become available. You can then decide when we contact you to purchase a membership or not.
ATTENTION CURRENT 2009 CSA MEMBERS
Preference will be given to existing customers for the
2010 season. Please contact us by March 15, 2010 to ensure your membership for
the 2010 growing season. You should have already received a copy of this years
application in the mail. If you are a returning customer and have not yet
received this years application form please send us an email or give us a call
and we would be more than please to send you one out.
Payment for 2010 shares will not be due until March 31,
2009.
WHAT IS A CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is an
arrangement that provides a direct connection between consumers and a local
farmer. Participating supporters contribute to the farm’s yearly operating
budget by purchasing in advance a share of the season’s harvest. By making
this commitment ahead of time, CSA participants join the farmer in assuming
the costs, risks, and rewards of growing that season’s crops. Participants
help pay for seeds, supplies, labour, water, equipment maintenance and other
costs. In return, the farmer provides a weekly delivery of fresh, nutritious
vegetables throughout the harvest season.
HARVEST SEASON
We plan to provide fresh vegetables from mid-June to
late October, for a total of 20 weeks.
VEGETABLE LIST:

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A DELIVERY
One box is generally enough produce for two adults
who eat an average amount of fresh vegetables. If you eat an above average
amount of vegetable you may want to consider purchasing two shares.
We strive to provide an appealing and ample supply of
vegetables each week, but since nature has no guarantees we cannot offer any
either.
Contents vary week to week based on what is in season
and is ready to harvest.
HOW DELIVERIES WORK
1) Boxes may be picked up directly from the farm on
Wednesday between 4pm and 8pm.
2) Delivered directly to your home on Wednesday
evenings for an additional charge of $5.00/wk.
YOU CAN BECOME A CSA PARTICIPANT
Each spring we will be inviting you and other
community members to become participants of our CSA garden. There will be a
set delivery day each week for the 20 weeks of planned harvest.
The cost of one share is $500.00 for the entire 20
week season.
Available shares are limited therefore we encourage
you to contact us to reserve your share. Upon receiving your application we
will contact you to verify your acceptance and discuss delivery details.
Should a share not be available for this growing
season your name will be placed on a waiting list for the 2011 season.
Remember our produce will also be available at the Kingston Farmers' Market.
Please fill out the following information and sign-up form to reserve your
share or receive more information.
Produce boxes will not be supplied until payment has been received.
