    		•  CSA SHARE BASICS
  • A CSA share is simply a weekly portion of whatever is being grown by the CSA sponsor farm, in a given season, throughout the year. In our CSA, each week, participant receive a generous share of our organic produce.
  • Contents of CSA box will vary week to week, with the season, and will be dependent on many factors. Share should probably fill the produce needs of a 2 person household or supplement a family of 4, depending on eating habits, likes and dislikes, etc. An example of a regular week's share during the mid-summer season might contain tomatoes, okra, squash, eggplant, cucumbers and a melon while a fall share would contain carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, beets, lettuce, spinach or assorted greens. Especially abundant harvests or specialty items may be distributed to shareholders as available.
  • Because New Moon Farm is dedicated to the principles of sustainability we strive to have our CSA adhere to those principles, while still offering CSA members the best experience we can provide for them. Better access, less waste (resources, time, etc.) and more efficiency in distributing CSA shares are primary goals in 2009. For those reasons, there will be only one basic share size offered for 2009 CSA.
  • Delivery of shares will not be offered in 2009. Pick up of shares will be made by members.

    RESERVING SHARES
    Demand for membership in our CSA is high so it is recommended that you secure your reservation for the next season well in advance. Full memberships receive the entire 25 week season of CSA. Month-to-Month membership are available for as little as one month and for up to 4 of the 6 months during which CSA operates. Because a CSA is a partnership between the members and the farmers, the advance deposit may be used for some of the initial yearly start up expenses (organic seed for example) which must be met long before the growing season even starts. See the CSA agreement for deposit refund criteria.
