Winter Shares
Sign up for our popular winter share program! Make sure your family
gets organic fruits and vegetables throughout the winter and
early
spring, and save money too. All
produce is Certified Organic! Order Now!
HOW IT WORKS
- Shares consist of both vegetables and
fruit.
- All produce is Certified Organic and is
ordered through Charlie's Produce Organics, a wholesale broker.
- Quantities: vegetables are about the same
as the CSA shares, the fruit is a little less than
summer
fruit shares.
- Share cost: $46 per share (fruit and
veggies
combined) for each week ordered.
- None of the produce is
seasonal, nor is it grown in
Washington. There is virtually no WA-grown produce available after
November, except cold storage apples and pears. We take great care to
find out where the organic produce comes from, and stay with US grown
products (with the exception of bananas). We buy as many vegetables as
we can from local companies, such as Farmers Own Co-OP.
- Members pay wholesale prices plus a
markup of $12 per share for each week they order. The markup covers
labor for paperwork, ordering, and packing shares, and leaves us
approx.
$6 profit per share. This money helps support our regular CSA season
CSA. Savings to members are between 20-30% over retail cost.
HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE
- You can sign up from month to month, as
long as you meet the deadline. Choose as few or as many weeks as you
wish.
- Distribution days are Wed/Th or Fri/Sat,
just like the CSA shares. Pick-up hours are from 11:00 am
Wednesday through Thurs for Wed/Th shares, or from 11:00 am
Friday thru
Saturday for Fri/Sat shares.
- During distribution days, the store is
open continuously (no staff, self service) so you can get your share
even in the evenings.
- All produce is pre-bagged. One bag of
vegetables plus one bag of fruit for each member.
HOW TO ORDER
Fill out and return the order
form. You can order for just one month or do two months at a
time. Pay
attention to the deadline! This is when I need to
have the order form and payment in my hand. For your convenience, I am
happy
to accept post-dated checks or separate checks for each month.
