Dear Interested Student,
We would like to offer you fresh certified organic local veggies and herbs. Our student share has in mind that you have different timing than our regular CSA.
The weekly share starts August29th, with a mix of summer veggies until Dec.12. There are no veggies for fall break and Thanksgiving break.
Bags will be given out weekly as you may not have much storage ability.
We hope that you enjoy the fresh veggies direct from the farm to you,
Peace, Dulli

Payment Schedule:
Early bird discount: if paid in full by May 15th, subtract $10
Member Agreement:
Members of the CSA will receive a weekly share with 7-12 items. The share will vary in size and weight depending on the time of the season. One aspect of CSA is that members support their farmer by sharing the risks (poor weather, drought, disease, early frost, crop failure, etc.) and rewards (the bounty from a good season) involved in farming. Birdsfoot uses techniques that protect the harvest such as growing a wide variety of crops that thrive in different conditions and using crop rotation to avoid disease. We also cover crops to protect against pests and to extend the growing season, cover crop over the winter, and irrigate in dry times. If there is still a crop failure of one crop, it will be substituted with another crop of similar value. If there is a total crop failure, the members will not be expected to pay for the season. The goal is to build a relationship of trust between the members and the farmer. On the whole, members will get a variety of vegetables in plentiful amounts. There is no guarantee of the exact amounts or types of produce the members will receive in their shares. By participating in the CSA, members are supporting their local farmers as well as helping to create a more environmentally just, economically fair and healthy society.
If a share is not picked up by a member it will be donated to another family or the Canton Neighborhood Center. Shares will not be saved for members unless an arrangement has been made.
