2024 Summer Share Sign-Up Join Us for Our 35th Year!
Dear ICF CSA member,
Like farmers all over Vermont, the ICF team is busily preparing for a productive and delicious 2024 season. Share in summer’s bounty and sign up now for your 2024 summer share. Learn more about our 2024 offerings on our Summer Share page.
We at Intervale Community Farm are happy to turn the page on a difficult 2023. Your collective willingness to share some risk through our community-supported agriculture (CSA) shares carried us through, and our losses were made whole by your financial, physical, and moral support. Thirty-five years of success are backstopped in poor seasons by your enduring commitment to our co-op farm. Together we have come a long way since 1990!
Rent and general prices have increased greatly in the past couple of years, and ICF wages have not kept up with the cost of living in Burlington. Our success depends on training and retaining smart and talented farmers. We’re asking you to consider the value of ICF in your life and your community.
Our new Share Slide-up scale on our sign-up form provides a tool for those who wish to help us toward a livable income for more of our farmers. Sliding up your share price 20% still saves you a considerable amount over comparable retail vegetables. As with everything at Intervale Community Farm, all members paying at any level are an important part of ICF achieving our goals: 35 years of CSA shares have brought us to where we are now! We appreciate payment in full for those who can, as it allows ICF to offer flexible payment plans to those who need them. Read more about our Slide-up scale.
Please note that our Supported Share program for qualifying lower-income households is unaffected and still operates as it has in the past.
Avoid missing out on a summer or winter share and enjoy other benefits by joining Intervale Community Farm Cooperative as a co-op member-owner. See sidebar graphic for details.
If you have friends, family, or colleagues who are interested in a summer share at ICF, please send them our way. Find out more at our website, email us, or leave a voicemail at 802 658-2919.
Please watch for emails and information from Intervale Community Farm and please add kathie@intervalecommunityfarm.com to your allowed email. We will let you know what is happening on the farm and keep you informed about our upcoming summer season.
On behalf of the Intervale Community Farm staff and Board,
Andy Jones, Farm Manager
