New Members<\/u>\u00a0
Please fill out and return your membership application form online, by e-mail or regular post. Please mail post-dated cheques (Organic Farm, 42 Churchills Road, Portugal Cove-St. Phillips, NL, A1M 2P6) or e-mail e-transfers (as many as four e-transfers can be used to pay for the season).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
Returning Members<\/u>\u00a0
You can mail your post-dated checks or bring them to the first pickup, or e-mail e-transfers (as many as four e-transfers can be used to pay for the season). Also, please provide email and phone information for all those you are sharing with to make it easier for us to find a person to pick up the veggies on nights when someone doesn’t show up. Include contact information for everyone using your veggie bag.<\/p>\r\n
We hope to get a blog set up for The Veggie Group or a page on the Organic Farm Website and\/or Facebook for dialogue, recipes, farm notes and building the veggie group extended community.<\/p>\r\n
Part Time Membership<\/u>
Please check the weeks you would like to have a veggie bag on the part-time application included below.\u00a0 In order to keep the record keeping straightforward, we request that part-time memberships be prepaid using an e-transfer or one to three cheques and that members choosing the part-time option will subscribe to three or more weeks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
Introduction<\/span><\/b>
<\/span>The Organic Farm has offered a group buying opportunity for over thirty years. While every year has been different in terms of what we have been able to grow successfully, we have always been able to provide a variety of fresh vegetables and herbs weekly for a 14 to 17 week season.\u00a0 We have always managed to end the season with a high level of customer satisfaction. Nevertheless, this is the second successive year that we are facing severe inflation pressures. We will not survive if we don\u2019t pass at least some of these costs to our customers.\u00a0 However, we will try to keep our prices below those charged by local supermarkets for organic fruits and vegetables.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
For several of the last 36 months, we have been offering vegetables for special orders, a service where the veggies are paid for by e-transfer and either delivered or picked up by appointment at the farm or Food For Thought. This service, based on individual orders, is labour intensive and more costly to sustain than a group buying plan. In order to make fresh veggies and herbs available to as many people as possible, we are again offering both programs. As in the past, CSA members will be given first access to the available vegetables each week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
All CSA bags on a particular day will have the same vegetables and herbs. The packing slip listing the content of the bag will be posted on our website, <\/span>www.theorganicfarm.net<\/span><\/a>, before pick up or delivery.\u00a0 There will be a swap box and tailgate sales at the CSA delivery at Memorial University. In 2023, we will only be offering one medium-sized bag on Wednesday evenings. There will be a single cost for a 14 week season (less a 5% discount for customers who pay early) with the opportunity for up to three holiday weeks and\/or extend the season for Weeks 15, 16 and 17.\u00a0 Pick-ups will be at Memorial University Science Building or the Organic Farm on Wednesdays. Deliveries to downtown St. John\u2019s and Portugal Cove will be available at an additional charge.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
What follows is the usual information we provide each year.\u00a0 Some of our returning members might prefer to skip to the Returning Members section below.
