2010 Summer CSA: 28 Distributions (Three more than last season)
Share Size                                      Amount
Full Share                                        $645
Medium Share                                 $420
Farm Pickup Only: Full Share           $595
Farm Pickup Only: Medium Share    $380
Egg Share                                         $84
Flower Share                                   $125

Please note the instructions for signing up (below), include a deposit of $100 up to the full amount, to be mailed to the farm.  This is the only way to hold your spot.  The farm appreciates full payment as soon as possible to help purchase seeds and supplies.  All balances are due by June 15, 2010.

Please note that although the price of the full share has gone up from last year, this is entirely due to there being three more distributions in this year's share than there have been in the past.  The price per week is the same as it was in 2009.

Summer CSA Shares: - Picked fresh from our fields.  28 weeks of local, certified organic produce.

Schedule.  The first distribution for State College, Burnham, and Mifflintown members is May 18, 2010.  The last distribution is November 23, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.  The exact time and location of the Selinsgrove distribution is still being decided, but it'll be the Thursday or Friday before each of these dates.

Pickup Locations: 
1.  State College: Friends Meeting House, 611 E. Prospect Ave., State College, PA 16801
2.  At the farm: 229 Cuba Mills Rd., Mifflintown, PA 17059
3.  Burnham: The Healthy Food Store, 135 Nolan Dr., Lewistown, PA 17044
4.  Selinsgrove - still to be determined! 

Egg Share:  $84, pasture raised eggs weekly.  Taste the difference of an egg from a hen that is out on pasture.

Share Size & Splitting:  Starting in Summer 2010 - we are now offering two share sizes.  A full-sized and a medium-sized share.  For previous members, the full-sized share is the equivalent to last season's share box.

Full Share: An average of 12 lbs. per delivery.  Produce for 2 vegetable-loving adults or a small family.  The full-sized shares will be the first to receive certain limited crops, e.g. watermelons and strawberries.  The medium-sized share will likely also receive such items, just later in time.

Medium Share:  An average of 7 lbs. per delivery.  A medium-sized share is about 65 percent of a full-sized share (less variety than a full share).  This size is enough for 1 vegetable-loving adult or a family that may not cook often enough to use up a full share. 

Some members may choose to split their share with others.  Please note that the responsibility of managing the split share lies with the persons splitting, not the farm.  We also appreciate a single person be the payer, to simplify our bookkeeping.  The splitting member(s) are entered on the "Member Signup" page, which you get to by continuing this signup.  We expect most splitting members will choose a full-sized share, and alternate pickup weeks.  The decision on how you split your share (alternate pickup weeks, or splitting each box) is entirely up to you.

Winter Share '10 - '11: 12 distributions: November 2010 through May 2011.  Please note that the last Summer '10 share is the first Winter '10-'11 Share.  Those summer members who continue as winter members will receive a discounted price on their Winter share.  Signup begins on August 15, 2010.
