2007 GARDEN OF EVE CSA
MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT FORM

Yes! I would like to sign up for the share types I have circled above.

Name: ______________________________________

Address: ______________________________________

Phone: _______________________________________

Email: ________________________________________

 

______ Subtotal

_____ Amount enclosed; If I am sending just a partial payment, I agree to pay the balance by the start of the season.

Note: Most CSA Core Groups add on a nominal “administration fee” (approx $10) to defray the costs of recruiting CSA members, holding CSA member events, and buying equipment for the share distribution. You can pay this fee directly to the core group at your first pick-up.

Member Agreement

Members of the CSA will receive a weekly share consisting of approximately 7-12 items (shares 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 in the inherent risks of agriculture (poor weather, drought, crop failure, etc.) and the rewards (organic, exceptionally fresh vegetables, the bounty of a good season, etc.) involved in farming. CSA farmers purposely plan for such contingencies; the farmers use growing techniques that protect the harvest to minimize the risk and optimize the rewards. On the whole members will get a wide variety of vegetables in plentiful amounts.

I understand this principle and agree that there is no guarantee on the exact amount or type of produce I will receive in my share. By participating in the CSA, I am supporting the local farmer as well as more equitable food distribution, and I am helping to create a more environmentally and economically healthy society.

By becoming a member, I agree to support the farm with timely payments. I commit to picking up my share(s) weekly and I understand that if I, or someone I designate, is unable to pick up my share(s), they cannot get saved. I also agree to volunteer at at least two distributions.
