The administration fee is used to pay for supplies for the distribution site, other fees such as the cost of banking and processing credit cards, and other unforeseen expensives. The administration fee is not used for labor costs (since the CSA is run entirely by volunteers), and does not benefit any one individual. In addition, if you cannot volunteer for at least one setup or distribution shift during the season (or offseason for meat/dairy), you will be assessed a fee of $50.
