How much does CSA membership cost?
For the 2008-09 season, full membership costs $715, and half membership costs $400. In addition, we ask each member to contribute 4 hours of volunteer work each season, to encourage community involvement. We also offer working member rebates for members who work beyond their 4 hour volunteer commitment. Members who want to volunteer must complete an orientation session (held in the fall) and keep a log of their work hours (logs are kept at the farm). At the end of the season, an amount equal to $5 per hour will be rebated to members who volunteer. Maximum season rebate for Half Membership (Half Sprout) is $100. Maximum season rebate for Full Membership (Sprout) is $200. A minimum of 5 hours worked is required for rebate. So the cost for the CSA membership works out to approximately $16-$25 per pickup, depending on membership type and rebates.
