Land’s Sake CSA Share 2008 Policies and Procedures

There is one type of Share available:

Full CSA Share

The Full CSA Share entitles a shareholder to come to the farm once per week to pick up a share of the production of Land’s Sake Farm. The season for pick-ups is June 17 through the week of October 27th. The Full Share also includes picking rights to the pick-your-own vegetable crops* and flowers. Crops that a shareholder will find available at the CSA Stand for pick-up include (when in season): Arugula, Basil, Beets, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrots, Chard, Corn, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Garlic & Garlic Scapes, Kale, Leeks, Lettuce, Onions, Potatoes, Pumpkins, Radish, Rutabaga, Salad Greens, Spicy Greens, Spinach, Summer Squash, Tomatoes, Turnips, Winter Squash, Zucchini. Each Shareholder will choose either Tuesday or Thursday to pick up their share between 1-7pm. At the pick up, instructions according to the week and the particulars of the day’s harvest will be posted. Naturally the total amount for each week’s pick-up will vary throughout the season. The Shareholder will have some choice amongst crops to adapt the share to satisfy particular preferences, totaling to a set amount of bunches and pounds per week according to the instructions. The instructions will be designed to ensure that all the pick up Shareholders of that day get at least some portion of all the available produce, and that no one takes too much of any particular vegetable. This pick-up area  will be clearly marked, and any of the staff will be able to help guide shareholders as they arrive. It is the intention of the Full CSA Share that Shareholders appreciate both the bounty of the Farm and the effort and struggle to produce that bounty. It is a great option for people who really love to cook and eat very fresh food, and who enjoy a wide variety of local produce. As has been said before, purchasing a CSA Share is a great way to demonstrate your commitment to real food, local food, and Land’s Sake as a community partner to help you meet your needs with local resources. 

*Berries are no longer included in the CSA share.  However anyone is welcome to partake of PYO berries on a pay-as-you-pick basis.

Anyone disrespecting the intention of their Share, or infringing on the goodwill of the Farm or other farm-goers will be asked to comport themselves and/or may be required to relinquish their CSA Share rights temporarily or permanently, at the discretion of the Farm Managers.
