CSA Sign Up Details


How to Sign Up
Send an e-mail to clark@crookedcarrot.com with the following information:
  1. How many shares?  1, 2, 3... there is a 3% discount for multiple shares.
  2. Name, e-mail address, and phone number?


We will email you the bill once we have confirmed that there is still space available.  Shares are sold on a first come first served basis which allows us to concentrate on growing during the growing season, instead of marketing, bookkeeping and billing.
DETAILS:
Shares
Single Share
This is the option for individuals who don’t cook in large quantities, or people who just want a sampler of what the farm offers.

 Double Share (3% discount applies)
For two people or single person who does lots of cooking consider buying two shares.

Three or More (3% discount applies)
As many shares as you can use in a week!

Seasons

We have two eight week seasons planned:

March 17th – May 5th
May 12th – June 30th

 Soon after the first season starts we will be opening the sign up for the second season, first season members will be first on the list.

          Payment

Payment for the first season is due by March 3rd when most of our expenses are incurred (seed, soil amendments, bags, etc.).

Payment is by check.

Once you are signed up for the CSA your payment is transferable but not refundable.  You are welcome to find someone else to take over your share.


Price

Single eight week share   $80

Signing up for multiples helps reduce our administrative work which in turn helps reduce the cost of the share for you.  A 3% discount is applied to orders of two or more shares.



Pick Up


Saturday weekly pick up will begin on March 17, 2012 at the Crooked Carrot Farm farmstand.  

Shares (bags) will available starting at 9:00am and must be picked up that day.

Gilbert Farmer's Market

If you need a fresh, juicy, locally grown tomato with real old fashioned tomato flavor (and who doesn't), then get on down to the Gilbert Farmer's Market on Saturdays from 7 - 11 AM in downtown Gilbert. You can find our tomatoes at the Lilly's Farm booth alongside their own homegrown yummy veggies. Make a donation to the Ironwood Pig Sanctuary and buy a cool aloe plant while your there.
You can also find our tomatoes for sale at the deli in Queen Creek and inside Chef Blake's scrumptious offerings.
Breakfast at the market and lunch at the deli, the perfect day!
