Spring/Summer 2023 – CSA

Description

What is a CSA?
A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a model of farming that allows people to buy their food directly from a local farmer. CSA members make an up-front commitment to the farmer by pre-purchasing food, which helps the farmer secure early season capital.

What is a CSA Share?
A CSA Share represents the portion of that season’s harvest that you’ve pre-paid for and are entitled to. Essentially it’s your “slice of the pie”. 

How does it work?
Every Sunday you stop by the Clyde O’Scope Farm stand at Spa City Farmer’s Market. Alongside a variety of baked goods, there will be a wide selection of in-season fruits and vegetables to choose from. You pick out 7 items of your liking and enjoy the peace of mind knowing you’ll be enjoying locally grown, organic food all week!

Where / When
Every Sunday (10 am – 2 pm) at the Spa City Farmers Market, in Saratoga Spa State Park near the Lincoln Baths

Dates
Your CSA membership begins Sunday, June 18th, and runs for 20 consecutive weeks, through October 29th

Cost
$550 for 1/2 Share (paying by Cash or Check)

Payment
Full payment is very helpful to us because many of our costs are up front. However, if necessary, you may pay in three installments. $100 with this form, ½ of remaining due May 21st, and the remainder by the first pick up day, June 18^th.  Please make arrangements with Meghan or Sharon. You can pay using a credit card, cash, or check.

I understand I am committing to the 2023 growing season. Everything is growing to the best ability and counts on the weather. I understand it is my responsibility to pick up my share each week at the designated site. If you are unable to pick up at the designated time and date, please contact us ASAP to make other arrangements.  I have read and understood my obligations.
