      New Moon Farm CSA Contract/Terms of Agreement (Policies and Conditions)

      I understand that the operators of New Moon Rising CSA, pledge to do their best to provide members with the fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs proposed at their estimated seasons and of the highest quality possible. However, as a shareholder in both the bounty and the risk inherent in any farming venture, I understand that nature ultimately decides what I will receive and when I will receive it. In the unlikely event of dissolution of the CSA by the operator, refunds would be issued on a pro rata basis within 60 days of date of dissolution. Furthermore, I understand that:

      • First 12 weeks will run from March 31 thru June 16th, 2012; second 12 weeks will run June 30th thru Sep. 15th. (March 31 opening date is tentative and may vary a week or two depending on spring conditions. Session dates would be adjusted accordingly.)
      • Anyone splitting a share must do so on their own. CSA operator will not be responsible for payment or distribution when a share is split between any parties. Likewise, operator will not be involved in disputes between parties splitting shares.
      • Member shares will be picked up at specific location for the life of the share.
      • Member shares that are not picked up will not be refunded or made up, unless it is the fault of the operator or if notification is made to the operator 24 hours prior to pick up time. More than two missed pick ups, even with notification, will result in revocation of the make up priviledge.

      Refund Policy

      • After March 15th, 2012, member becomes responsible for full payment of their share. Refunds will be made only if written notification (or via email) is received by midnight on March 15th, 2011. Refunds will be made within 30 days of this date;
      • If any member is unable to complete their membership obligation at any time after the above date, member has the option of transfer of ownership of their share;
      • Transfer ownership of any CSA share can be made only with prior notification to the CSA operators. New owner must submit a signed a copy of this application BEFORE transfer of share is finalized;
      • Any unpaid balances due from original member must be made to operator before any new member will be accepted;
      • Financial arrangements for sale of any fully paid share is the solely the holder's responsibility.

      I have read and agree to the terms and conditions of the New Moon Rising 2012 Farm Collective CSA. By signing this agreement, I am entering into a partnership with the CSA operator and pledge my support while a member. Furthermore, I understand that while I will participate in the bounty of the participating CSA farms, I also agree to accept the risks inherent to any farming venture such as crop failure, extreme weather conditions, etc. Signed_________________________________________Date_________________________
