I have been slow in getting out CSA details because every time I think about the details I get horribly overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done to launch a CSA. I think I’m going to use a CSA management tool, and will hopefully decide on that soon. In the meantime, this is what I know:
The CSA will run 21 weeks, from June 6th to October 24th. Deliveries will be on Wednesday. Participants will receive 20 boxes over those 21 weeks, with the option to skip a week for vacation or to recover from the overwhelming amounts of fresh produce.
A share will be $500. This works out to $25 per week of produce. Each box will contain between 7 and 9 different types of produce. See the previous post for the varieties of produce to be grown. Each box should contain enough produce for a family of 4, or 2 vegetable lovers.
Drop sites will be determined based on who signs up. I can deliver to the following neighborhoods: West Seattle, White Center, Rainier Beach, Skyway, South Park, Burien and anywhere in between. I won’t be going farther north, east or south of this area as it doesn’t make sense with rising gas prices.
If you are interested in joining this CSA, please send me an email at seattlefarmer@gmail.com
I require a deposit of $100 to guarantee your spot in the CSA. More information about payments, including payment plans, will be forthcoming. In the meantime, feel free to contact me for more information.
