How Does the Farm Share CSA Work?
A CSA share is a weekly portion of whatever is in season throughout the year.
Weekly share goal in 2008 is to include a broader selection of items. Based strongly on seasonality and
with a focus on the freshness and high quality,
New Moon will work diligently toward providing a well rounded assortment of produce.
Bountiful harvests are shared with all members.
CSA is an act of faith on the part of all participants and rewards, as well as risks, are inherent
to the concept.
We are offering share size and add-on options for shares in 2008, so that a larger family or those splitting a share can better meet their needs. Shares are processed twice a week, with picking and prep done the day before, which means that produce received has been harvested within 24 hours of receipt by members. In 2008, we will be delivering shares, instead of requiring members to pick up their goods. This has proven to be more cost effective, less impacting on the environment, more convenient for customers and more managable for the Farm.
Shares will be delivered on Tuesdays and on Fridays and each member will be assigned to whichever day deliveries are being made in their area. There is no additional fee for delivery, unless member is out of the regular delivery area. To see if you are located in the "free" delivery, contact the Farm with the address where your share would be delivered. Locations outside the free zone would be subject to a surcharge, determined by mileage and on a case by case basis.
