This week, Travis worked till the wee hours of the morning navigating our CSA sign up soft ware and while there seem to be a couple bugs, we are ready to start accepting membership.
While it is very user friendly, we found that while the program requires a password, it doesn't give you the option in sign up to make one. You have to follow the link from the confirmation email to create a new password in order to create one at all. this allows you to go into your account, set preferences, set vacation dates, and view your balance. Other than that detail we are set to start immediately offering monthly egg shares, and are offering discounts for signing up for veggie shares early. At this time we are accepting payments by check only. We also are accepting down payments, so you can secure your share without breaking the bank. Since we are starting small with room to grow there will be a limited amount of shares available this season.
Some of the differences you'll see from Grindstone Farm's CSA is that we are offering two different sized shares, and also offering a create your own box option at our farmers markets. These decisions are based on feed back from current Grindstone Farm CSA members, and largely appeal to us as well. We love the CSA model, however realize many people are turned off from membership due to the lack of flexibility, so we aim to create a more inviting CSA that allows you to purchase a CSA that fits your family size and preferences.
We are looking forward to the 2014 season, and continuing to grow and provide fresh organic food, and fresh free range eggs to our friends and neighbors. We hope you are too!
