I found a wonderful resource for people who are considering setting up a CSA
(thanks Michelle for the lead!) It is a self published book by Bob and
Bonnie Gregson:
Rebirth of the Small Family Farm - A handbook for starting a successful
organic farm based on the commumity supported agriculture concept. It can be
ordered for $9.95 plus $.70 for WA residents from IMF Associates POBox 2542
Vashon Island, WA 98070.
Now I need some information to help explain the CSA concept to potential
shareholders. Everyone I talk to here (except farmers) have never heard of
the idea. So I know a bit of education is in order for the success of our
program. My big opportunity to educate 4000 people comes in one month. I
also need to develop a contract. Are there any sample ones out there?
Dan Katz from Santa Cruz - are you out there? It was great to talk with you
while we walked through the farm this weekend!
