Community Supported Agriculture 2009
Ok, first, what is a CSA?
Now that we have that answered, Rose Mountain Farm is proud to offer our customers a chance to get their produce secured for the coming season by offering Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares! We will offer a wide variety of vegetables - from greens to potatoes, shiitakes to eggs. All are raised humanely and free range, hormone and antibiotic free.
We are a Certified Naturally Grown Farm and a member of New River Organic Growers and Carolina Farm Stewarship Association, as well as Certified Appalachian Grown farms and members of Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project.
There are only 10 shares available for this year for both Ashe and Watauga counties. Previous CSA shareholders will have a reservation for the 2009 season unless we're notified otherwise. CSA customers may make requests for specific vegetables by January 15th with payment on a share. That way, we can structure our garden plan to suit your requests as closely as possible. Shares are based on a 20-week season. A full share of vegetables can feed four people a week (along side your grocery purchases), and a half share will feed two.
A weekly pick-up at both the Ashe and Watauga County Farmers Market on Saturdays is local and convenient (NO delivery will be available). Your bags will be packed for you and ready when we arrive at Market. Any family wishing to have larger amounts due to larger family size can receive a 10% discount for two full shares purchased by the same family. Two absentee weeks during the season will result in the forfeiture of your credit for those weeks, so please let us know in advance if you are not planning to pick up on a Saturday.
** Substitutions are at the farmer's discretion, dependent upon crop production, failure, or weather damage.
VEGETABLES:
The prices below represent about $40 a week for a full share and $22.50 on a half share.
A full share of vegetables costs $800.00 paid in full, resulting in $850.00 credit over the 20-week growing season. (You pay $800, you get $850 of veggies.)
________$800 for a full share by April 1
A half share of vegetables costs $450.00 paid in full, resulting in $500.00 credit. (You pay $450, you get $500 of veggies.)
____$450 for a half share by April 1
Vegetable price lists and quantities are available on request, but please understand that we don't have our seed orders in yet and things can change slightly.
CSA members will receive a 10% discount on all other purchases from RMF at the Ashe and Watauga County Farmer's Markets.
Meat this year will be available on an 'as-processed' schedule, and not available as a share. See the price list and availability here.
