Is the non-refundable deposit really non-refundable?
Yes! … and no. If for some reason you do back out of your membership, you can receive a retail credit of $125.00 for produce at fresh market (if/ when available), or $50.00 cash only if cancelled before April 1, 2009—but not both. Any remaining balance paid over the initial deposit will be refunded ONLY IF CANCELLED BEFORE APRIL 1, 2009. If you back out during the distribution season after having already received some produce the deposit will not be refunded and the remainder will have to be pro-rated on an individual basis only if there is someone on the waiting list to take your place. If a disagreement occurs, it will ultimately be decided by rest of the CSA members. Basically the farm encourages full shares paid early and is more interested in growing top notch, local foods than chasing people who owe the farm money.
