Earthscape Farm's CSA for Summer 2009

Thanks for your interest in Earthscape Farm's CSA!

This will be our 6th year providing families with healthy, home grown food!

Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in purchasing a share for summer 2009. We are limiting ourselves to 50 shares.

PRICES:
$425 for a single share
$750 for a double (2x most items).
Payment is due by June 1st (talk to us if you need to make other payment plans).

We will continue to have no work requirements, but volunteering in the gardens is certainly appreciated! We also will sign on a few people for work-shares: 4-5 hours per week for a share and 8 hours per week for a double share.

OUR PLANS FOR SUMMER 2009:
We aim to start filling shares in late May and go into October, 18 weeks of farm-fresh seasonal vegetables! CSA pickup will be Mondays and Thursdays 4-7pm. We encourage you to share pickups with other nearby families in order to save gas. We had groups in Ludington, Shelby, Fremont, and White Lake sharing pickup last year.

We are also going to do a delivery to Earthly Kneads Bakery in downtown Muskegon for an extra 1-time fee of $50 if we get a minimum of 10 people to sign on for this. This delivery will be on Tuesday mornings, with pickup at Earthly Kneads between 9am-5pm.

A study was done the past year on lowering the carbon footprint of CSAs, and having the CSA deliver to a central location used less energy than having families share pickup.

We hope you all will still make time to visit the Farm to see your food growing! We will continue to be a bit flexible when you have special needs, and we hope you will have the same patience with us. We want to take a week off around July 4th, and maybe another week off somewhere else in the season, depending on veggie production.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in purchasing a share for summer 2009. We are limiting ourselves to just 50 shares.
