Members can also use their share balances for personal consultations at their own garden locations on soil improvement, planting systems, pruning strategies and more. Contact us for 2011 planting plans. OUR CSA: We offer a small number of shares. Members benefit from knowing they are helping to preserve a family-owned source for farm products and can choose from a wide range of superior quality products produced with environmentally responsible methods, all while saving money. The farm benefits from having a source of income early in the season and does not need to borrow money for annual seed, compost and other supplies. MEMBERSHIPS: $300 'free range' shares with the option to add $100 increments during the season. Members shop from their pre-paid balance and receive a 10% membership premium (15% for memberships paid in full by January 10 each year) on all farm products: plants, vegetables, PYO raspberries, PYO flowers. Our season will run for about 20 weeks beginning late April/early May. If any share portions are unused by the end of the farm season, one-half of the unused portion may be applied to the next year's membership.
