Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is for
those committed members who pay a 12-month
membership fee for a weekly supply of seasonal
produce from our farm.
This helps cover our operational costs for seed,
organic fertilizers, fuel, equipment, labor,
greenhouse supplies, and so on. We plan and
work throughout the year to provide our
members with an equal share of produce on a
weekly basis.
The share of produce is available for pick-up
every week during the growing season. There
are some breaks in delivery during the summer
and late winter for field prep and planting for the
next harvest.
Our goal is to provide you with 30 weeks of fresh
produce throughout the year.

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
You will receive an average of 6 to 8 different
types of vegetables and herbs each week. Our
farm grows a variety of produce each season,
but production is always dependent upon the
weather.
Each individual share will generally supply a
normal family of 4. Some couples without
children may choose to share their box with
another couple or a single person. If you have
a large family, you may want to purchase two
shares to double up on produce each week.
The cost of each share is $600 for the year of
2010, payable in four (4) equal installments of
$150 due in January, April, July, and October.
As a member, you will be able to pick up your
weekly share every Saturday at Garden Harvests
Farm from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

DEFINITION OF "CSA"
CSA stands for "Community Supported Agriculture." Essentially this is part of a nationwide movement linking local
consumers and farmers into communities. A typical CSA consists of a group of consumer shareholders that pays a
sum in advance in exchange for a regular selection of in-season crops produced by a farm. The Garden Harvests
Farm CSA will commit to grow exceptionally high-quality vegetables and herbs, providing a bountiful portion of it to
you every week of the growing seasons during the length of your annual subscription.
