Terms of Membership

Part of the benefit of CSA membership is sharing in the bounty of a plentiful harvest year and early crops that great weather can produce. We will do our best to make sure each share is provided its full value in vegetables and poultry. On the other side of the coin, CSA members must also understand that despite the best planning, crop failure and bad weather does happen. By purchasing a CSA Membership you agree to share in this risk with the farmer.
