We will do our best to accommodate your request. You will be notified of your pick-up week before the season begins.
6. Payment information
Garden of Eve will collect KWT CSA’s $15 administration fee for us. The fee is used for expenses like tables and scales, offsetting the Garden’s cost for hosting our pick-ups, and a membership contribution to Just Food, which has been instrumental in setting up our CSA and providing ongoing tools and training.
Volunteer signup will be online again this year: more information will be forthcoming closer to the season opening.
More information about the season, including Garden of Eve’s CSA member agreement, can be found at their site: http://www.gardenofevefarm.com/csa.htm .
We will also hold three orientation meetings to answer any questions about the season you may have:
- Wednesday, April 18th at 4:00 pm at Brooklyn Commune, 601 Greenwood Ave.
- Wednesday, April 18th at 7:00 pm at Brooklyn Commune, 601 Greenwood Ave.
