Craving real vegetables? Main season shares still available

 Do you find yourself craving fresh spring greens, radishes, carrots, spinach, and all that spring has to offer?  Sign up for a share in our main season Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), and you won’t have to plant a garden or fight the farmers’ markets crowds to ensure that you get the fabulous fresh veggies you crave.  Our main CSA season will be starting in just a few weeks, and we still have some small- and large-share spaces available.  As a CSA member, you come and pick up a delicious selection of veggies each Tuesday or Thursday evening on our farm, in the cool shade of the pick-up shed.  Even when the harvest and farm work have us running in circles, pick-up time is a time for us farmers to slow down, relax, and get to know our members.  It is a pleasant time to chat a little about veggies and a lot about life.  And, there’s more; the rich harvest does not end with the spring produce.  We have broccoli, lettuce, and cabbage out in the fields and growing happily under row covers; our greenhouses are filling up with tomato and pepper plants, the cucumber and melon seedlings are multiplying, and corn and beans are ready to transplant soon.  The promise of summer’s bounty is in the soil…

Our main CSA season runs 20 weeks, from May 15th and 17th to September 25th and 27th.  A large share costs $500; a small share costs $300.

Membership Agreement: As a member of Molly’s Island Garden Community Supported Agriculture Program I understand that my share payment does not guarantee me an exact amount of produce.  I am making a commitment to support local farmers and to share in the rewards and the risks of the growing season.  I also understand that if I am out of town or unable to pick up my share at any time during the season, I am responsible for contacting a friend or neighbor to gather my vegetables (If I cannot pick up my produce, I will call or e-mail my farmers at least two days prior to pick-up day and ask that my share of the weekly harvest be either spread among the other members or donated).
