CSA
Food Share!
If finances are a real problem, which is totally understandable during this hard economic time, you are invited to apply for a CSA sponsor. Just supply your name, address and phone number, which I will keep confidential, and your story. Tell of your situation and the need you have for this CSA share. Also tell what size CSA share you need. I will post your story on this page. Based on your story, anyone can decide to sponsor your CSA for you!! If you allow, it would be cool if your sponsor called you with the good news. Otherwise, I can let you know the good news.
Once someone is sponsored, I will highlight their story so we know their need has been fulfilled. (This could become a real celebration page!!) Unless the sponsor wants to remain anonymous, we will add their name as the awesome sponsor!! One never loses by giving!!!

Hello, i have an in-home daycare, I run my daycare as healthy and environmentally friendly as possible, I try to only buy organic and natural foods. The cost of providing good organic food for our daycare is really expensive and I'm worried about being able to continue. Raising my rates is not an option because many parents already struggle enough with the costs of living these days. We would love to be considered for a sponsorship of any size! The children are so eager to learn about eating healthy , growing food, and trying new kinds of food. Any help would be appreciated so much and my prayers go out to anyone who can help and anyone who cannot help but wished they could. Thank you.

Here is my story:
Hello, I am a stay at home mom and my family and I have been a part of this CSA for the last two years. We love it so much! Virtually everyone I have told about it also became so excited they signed up right away! This year our finances have changed as we are expecting to add another baby to our family this spring. My husband is a full time student and works as much as he can to support our family. I know how important it is to introduce a variety of foods to children and my son has enjoyed all the different recipes we have tried with every box. We love to eat organic and support local farmers. Doing the harvest events has been so much fun to do as a family, I don't want to think about having to give it up because we can no longer afford to participate. It's so nice to bring my son somewhere he can run and explore as well as learn about vegetables and living things without having to worry about exposure to chemicals or pesticides. We would appreciate anyone that may be able to help out. We are just looking for the share size box. We make it go a long way! Thanks for taking the time to read our story and for your consideration.

Hi, my name is xxxxx and I was lucky to be able to participate in some of the garden picks this year with another one of your customers. Thanks to her we have a freezer full of corn, squash and pumpkin and a pantry full of canned tomatoes. She told me about this option. So, here is our story.
I am a single mother of five children- xxxx- 13, xxxx- 10, xxxx - 8, xxxxx - 6, and xxxxx- 6. They are awesome kids. I have been working hard to connect them to where food comes from and to introduce them to a variety of vegetables. We try our best to eat healthy but on our limited budget it is quite difficult.
On March 3, 2010 I had a car accident that drastically changed our life. I was left with a brain injury, shoulder, neck, back and hip injuries that caused me to lose my full time job. And although I am doing much better, I have been unable to work since and we now live on my disability check which barely covers the mortgage of $750.
I would love to give my children a healthy year of eating and be able to teach them how to can and freeze a wide variety of vegetables. Thank you so much for this opportunity!

Hi Mark,
Last year all if the boys had such an amazing time at the farm last year. They have memories that will last them a lifetime! When you had the open events, 3 of them picked pumpkins for their classes and shared them! To see the excitement in their eyes is priceless! We are enjoying numerous veggies from there throughout the whole winter! (Just had squash lastnight) :)
XXXX made some changes to his job last June. Things are going really well and longterm it looks like it will be a great move. Right now we are struggling and trying everyway possible to get back on track. We would love to be able to have someone sponser us to get a family share. The way things are looking at this time we will not be able to participate if we can't get some help with it. Thanks so much for your generosity and thinking of people that may be struggling in these times. God Bless, XXXXXX

Dear Farm,
I split a membership with a close friend last year. We enjoyed taking turns every week picking up our box. It really made our summer special.
Things have really changed for 2012. I lost my job at the end of the year. I am trying to help my daughter make it through her senior year of college. Just taking care of insurance breaks the budget. I look for jobs and feel hopeful, but know that it will take a long time to really get back on my feet.
My daughter comes home for the summer and she is a vegetarian. The veggies were a time saver and we loved juicing together.
A Food Share would be so appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration.
