LINK TO SIGN UP FOR THE SOUTHSIDE CSA 2022 SEASON
A few things you might want to know:
Saving you $: The earlier you sign-up and pay, the lower your Admin fee! We have a special Farmer’s Hero deal happening with an Admin fee of only $10 if you pay by April 3rd. This can be further reduced by $5 if you pay CASH or Zelle. You will need to sign up by Sat. April 2nd in order to take advantage of this deal! There are 3 other options of paying before the season starts – the closer you get to the beginning of May, the more it costs, so sign up quickly! ADMIN FEE + PAYMENT PLAN INFO LINKED HERE
Also, the earlier you sign up for Veg & Berry, the more you get for your money. Our Berry farmer does not pro-rate his shares, so if you wait to sign up until after the season has started, you don’t get as much for your $. He is our asparagus supplier, so he also provides the first weeks of Veggie – no pro rating for those weeks either. Just something to keep in mind. Don’t wait to sign up & lose out!
Sign-up Cut Off: In the past we have ordered extra shares and allowed people to continue to sign up late into the season. This meant in order to have enough $ to pay for the shares we needed to sell the extras each week, which was both a pain AND if they didn’t all sell, Ryan (our main organizer) ended up footing the bill. In order to prevent this we will only take orders through the end of May. Sign-up now so you don’t miss out!
Donations: you can help us donate shares to the Southside Mission and Community Fridges. There’s a place on the Sign-up form for this. We are also looking for volunteers to be in charge of fundraising. Let us know if you are interested.
Location: We are returning to our Southside home base of THE WOODS! We are planning a small satellite pick-up across the Street from BIBA at Dolly’s Swing & Dive. We need at least 15 people to sign up for this option to make it possible.
COVID: The Woods follows all govt mandates. Currently (April 5) there are no COVID rules for bars. We are recommending that people continue to wear masks during their pick-up. The Dolly’s pick up will be masks REQUIRED and will take place inside a restaurant shed on n8th & Kent and adjacent garage frontage at 58 N8th.
Delivery: We are not planning to have delivery this year. The last few COVID heavy years we felt it was an important service to provide, however, it is a huge drain on our resources. Now that COVID is a bit less prevalent, most people are vaxxed and boosted, and many people are no longer working from home, it just doesn’t make sense for us to keep it up. We are looking into whether or not a 3rd party service might be interested in helping out, but cannot guarantee that will be an option, and it will probably be more expensive. If you are interested in providing and running this service yourself, please contact us, and we would be happy to support your endeavor.
Volunteer Shifts: You will need to sign up for 2 shifts when you fill out your order. You can always change them later if you need to. There will be shifts at Dolly’s as well as The Woods. If you are interested in an admin/organizational shift, please sign-up anyway and once we confirm you, you will be able to remove one or both of your distro/driving shifts.
Right now we really need someone to make posters for the season! Let us know if you can do it and we will send you images, info, to get you started.
