2022 Summer Share Sign-Up is Open: Join Us for Our 33rd Year
Dear ICF CSA member,
Though 2022 is off to a chilly and bumpy start, rest assured that the staff at Intervale Community Farm are hard at work busily preparing for a productive, restorative, and extraordinary 2022 summer season. Despite our human uncertainties, the vegetables, flowers, and herbs are primed and ready to grow. Share in the determination of a seed and sign up now for your 2022 summer share.
To sign up for a 2022 summer share, visit our website here. You can find out more specific information about the offerings on our Summer Share page. In 2021, demand for shares continued to rise rose, and we regrettably turned away many ICF CSA members who did not sign up in time. Avoid this fate and enjoy other benefits of being a co-op member-owner, by joining Intervale Community Farm Cooperative as a member-owner. See sidebar graphic for details.
A word about 2022 share prices: rising costs for inputs and supplies combined with a desire to improve farm wages has us raising share prices more than usual, around 7%, just shy of $2/week for small shares. We have also eliminated our paid-in-full pre-payment discount, as it generally favors those who can easily pay entirely up front. That said, we do appreciate full payment, and hope you will continue to do so if you are able.
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. Thank you everyone who contacted us after the recent vandalism of our greenhouse tunnels and the neighbors' beehives. We are truly uplifted by the outpouring of community support.
If you have friends, family, or colleagues who are interested in a summer share at ICF, now is the time to send them our way. Find out more information via the links above, call us at 658-2919x1, or email info@intervalecommunityfarm.com.
On behalf of the Intervale Community Farm staff and Board,
Andy Jones, Farm Manager
