(WE ARE FULL FOR THE 2008 SEASON) 

JUST THE FACTS, FOLKS:

• Season: at least 18 weeks, up to 22 weeks, weather permitting, beginning in early June
• Share size: A share will feed a family of four, or 2-3 veggie lovers.
• Membership cost: $550 per share.
• Pick-up locations: on-farm or in Traverse City (spot to be determined).
• Work requirement? No, but one work share is available (4 hrs/week).
• Volunteering: Encouraged! We LOVE volunteers of all ages and abilities.
• Agricultural practices: We use organic methods, but are not certified.
• We will host an in-person pre-season member meeting, to answer your questions and get to know each other, once everyone’s signed up.

To become a member:  Basically, print out, fill in and sign the membership contract, and write a check, payable to Martin Heller, for the full $550, or a $275 deposit.  We’re only offering 20 shares this first season on a first-come, first-served basis.  Balances will be due by May 1.

Picking up your share: once a week, probably Tuesday afternoon/evening at the farm.  TC possibilities include the Saturday morning Farmers’ Market or the home of a member who can offer a shady, cool spot to leave boxes – let us know if your home is an option.

What can you expect in a share?   We’ll aim for 6-10 different crops per week, and include an email newsletter with a list of that week’s items, farm news, and recipes.  See the availability guide for an estimate of what’s available when.

Half Shares?  No half shares, at least to start. We want to keep it simple for now.  You are welcome to split your share with anyone you like; just organize it amongst yourselves, and send us one check (we can send e-newsletters to as many people as you like, though. Just supply emails.)

Sorry, we are no longer taking new members for 2008.  To receive information about the 2009 season,  contact us.
