Membership
Becoming a Touching Earth CSA member is easy! Just print and fill out this form and mail it to us with your payment. The full cost of one share is $600 and is equivalent to $30 of produce a week, for 20 weeks. To secure one of our 60 shares, your first payment is due March 1st. The remaining balance is due April 1st. Does a full share seem like too much? We are offering a limited number of half shares for the 2010 season! You may also consider splitting the cost with a friend or neighbor. Your financial support aids in covering upfront the operating costs of the farm. Please contact us to inquire about share availability.

What does a share consist of?
When you invest in the CSA you are supplied with a share of naturally grown vegetables throughout the growing season. One share will contain enough vegetables to feed 2-4 people. All members will also have access to a pick-your-own garden of cut flowers and herbs, as well as the ability to purchase fresh eggs. Each week your produce will be carefully harvested, washed, packed and ready for your scheduled pick up. The CSA will run for approximately 20 weeks from June through October or until your purchased value is met. Plans are also in the works for a Winter 2010 CSA!
