Click here to find the 2008 CSA Membership Form. We're eagerly looking forward to another great year and we hope you'll join us again. Our pick up dates are the same: Mondays from 1-7pm and Fridays from 12-6pm. Our anticipated start date is Friday, May 23. New for 2008: there are a limited amount of memberships available for pick up at the Jenkins Arboretum in Devon on Tuesdays. You'll notice that we had to raise our fee to $690 for a Family share. This is something we do not take lightly, but we simply cannot run the CSA without the price increase. Labor in particular is costly, especially since we are relying more on our hourly workers. If you compare our price to other CSAs in the area, though, you'll find that we are actually quite reasonable! Remember too that by joining our CSA you are receiving the highest quality vegetables, and supporting local, sustainable agriculture in the process. In appreciation of your continued support, we are offering a $50 discount to our returning members WHO REGISTER BEFORE FEBRUARY 15! So print out the form and mail it to the farm with your payment, and start dreaming about all the fresh, delicious, nutritious vegetables you'll be receiving! See you at the farm! ~ Colleen	CSA memberships for the 2007 season are going fast! Spread the word about Maysie's Farm to anyone you think may be interested in joining, and register BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! Wish List Looking to get rid of any of the following items? Maysie's Farm will put them to good use!
