We, the farm, wish to provide you with fresh, local, seasonal food and you, the member, wish to receive a portion of our harvest. This
agreement outlines our shared commitments to that relationship.
Section 1. Introducing Our CSA Farm
A. Becoming a Part of Our Farm
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a relationship between our farm and you as our customer. Rather than simply purchasing
food, our customers become “members” of this CSA farm who receive a portion of the farm’s harvest.
Our CSA is available for 15 weeks, from May to September, roughly. We may start or finish earlier or later depending on weather.
Options:
• Full Share Pick-up at Farm: $450 (15) bags of fresh produce, microgreens & dried herbs available on a weekly basis. 5-8
lbs. of vegetables/week, fair market value based on the USDA organic retail pricing standard
• Full Share Delivery to Richmond: $495 (15) bags of fresh produce, microgreens & dried herbs available on a weekly basis.
5-8 lbs. of vegetables/week, fair market value based on the USDA organic retail pricing standard
You will receive preferential treatment and first selection of any items we harvest. In essence, a VIP status, as you have invested in
our success.
Variety and quantity may vary as described below in Section 2.

2. B. Our Growing Practices
We produce all of our crops using non-GMO seed or transplants. Whenever possible, we use open-pollinated heirloom varieties and
organic seed. We never use chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. On rare occasion due to severe infestation, we may resort to
OMRI listed pesticides that are certifiably organic, such as insecticidal soap. We use only OMRI listed organic fertilizers: fish
emulsion, poultry litter, phosphate rock, sulfate of potash, granite dust, limestone, oyster shells, kelp meal, wood ash, bone meal or
greensand. Some of our crops are raised using vegan practices that omit any animal by-product. We follow the rules and guidelines
of an organic farm, and are not certified. We use only OMRI listed inputs. We save our own seed.
C. Food Allergies/Strong Dislikes: Please list below any crops falling in these categories
D. The Products We Expect for 2021

Section 2. Our Shared Commitments
A. Sharing in the Risk of Crop Failure
We promise to do our best to provide you with a bountiful share each delivery. The quantity of produce may vary from week-to-
week/month-to-month/season-to-season due to extreme weather, insects, or other production factors despite our best efforts. By
joining our CSA, you are agreeing to share the risk of crop failure with us and other members. In the unlikely event of a crop failure,
our procedure is as follows: if a small portion of crops fail, we compensate for the failed crops by reducing the total weight of the
share. We will divide available amount by the number of CSA members evenly. If a large portion of crops fail, we may not be able to
deliver any product in some weeks. We reserve the right to fill out shares with produce from other trusted farms who match
our growing standards as necessary.
B. Sharing in the Reward of Crop Surplus
In addition to our CSA, our farm sells to restaurants, institutions, grocery stores, individuals and wholesale distributors. We balance
priority of the CSA with our other clientele. This allows us to select a consistently full and diverse share to our customers while doing
our best not to over-deliver any one product. You will be rewarded whenever we experience a bumper crop. We will gladly exceed
the maximum weekly amount by weight whenever possible.

3. Section 3. Picking Up Shares
You are responsible for picking up your share each week at the farm on Beaver Dam Road, or meeting us at the delivery point in
Richmond, Kuba Kuba Fan District.

You are responsible for observing our drop site rules, which are as follows:
1. Bring your own bag if possible.
2. Pick up your share within the time-frame stated. Although we deliver high-quality produce to the site, it will decline quickly
if not picked up in time.
3. Be respectful of the farm property, parking rules and use of certain entrances. Shares will be in large white coolers in
labeled grocery bags placed in the side yard parking area.
If you cannot pick-up your share, you must arrange for someone else to pick it up for you. You are responsible for explaining the pick-
up location and procedures to your substitute. You may make other arrangements with us via telephone, text or email. You may pause
your pick-up share once during the contract year by contacting us no later than 5pm Friday of the prior week. Paused shares will be
added to the end of your pick-up calendar, or you may request a double share when you resume. If you do not contact us, your share
will be donated to a charity or food pantry.
The farm reserves the right to pause all CSA shares once per contract season for vacation or other personal reasons. You will be
notified via email in advance of these pauses. Paused shares will be added to the end of the CSA season.
We take the safety of your food seriously. For your added protection, triple wash all produce before eating using the method of
floating the produce in water then lifting into a colander. Never pour the water and produce into the colander.
Section 4. Member Fees
By selling membership in advance of the growing season, CSA reduces the burden of up-front costs for the farmer. Your membership
fees provide us with money to purchase seed and equipment before the season starts, and we appreciate your commitment. Place a
