Summer Shares Are Almost Sold Out

Intervale Community Farm 2021 Summer Shares are going fast, so don’t miss out! Last year we were overwhelmed with requests for shares because people were avoiding large grocery stores and wanted local food. Demand for summer shares in 2021 is surpassing 2020.

We’ve learned from last year. While we want to keep a steady infusion of new members, we also value our returning members. To that end, we’ve done two things this year. First, we have encouraged current share members to become co-op member/owners. Co-op members in good standing may elect to be renewed automatically. About 180 co-op members were automatically renewed in January. To become a co-op member and be assured a spot, see more here.

Second, we limited the brand new 2021 members joining to 50 to start. While we’d like to sign up more brand new people, we are pretty sure we won’t have the space.

The Intervale Community Farm is in an enviable position in that we are a sought after CSA, we always have a waiting list, and we always have new members. However, if you are a returning member, it’s not a good idea to wait too long to renew your share! Usually we are completely sold out by May, but this year we are likely to be filled much earlier.

As noted in an earlier blog post, the greenhouse opened March 8 and seeds are being planted every day. The tables are filling up! And now our staff is returning so there are more people fanning out to do the spring tasks.

For all intents and purposes, summer is here!! Are you joining us?

Don’t forget! If you have already reserved your share, order your bread and cheese add-ons here.
