It's time to sign up for the 2012 CSA.
2012 Trail’s End Farm CSA Details
There are a few changes planned for the farm this year that the CSA will need to know:
Our 2012 CSA weekly season will begin June 8-9 and end on September 28-29.
Fall shares will be distributed 2 weeks in October to be arranged. (Likely 10/6 and 10/20)
Share Boxes will be at our farm on Friday afternoons from 4:30-7pm, at our market stand at the Susanville Saturday Farmer’s Market from 8:30 am to 11:30am, or at Westwood place and time TBA. Empty boxes from the previous week need to be returned at the next week’s pickup. Boxes will not be available before designated times as we need the time to set up.
Trade Box: There will be a box at the pickup where members may leave items from their share they do not want. Or they may trade with an item already in the trade box that they would like more.
Membership is limited. We are planning on 24 full shares. Members will be accepted on a first come-first served basis. Priority will be given to past members until the early payment deadline on Mar. 3. If payment is not received by the due date(s), then the next person on the waiting list will be given that slot. 2-Payment members will have their share on hold after July 28 if their second payment is not received by then.
Payment is due by March 31. Either for the entire discounted amount or the first of 2 payments if the 2 payment option is chosen. Full price payment will be received until June 30 if shares are still available. New members will be welcomed after then at a prorated price if there is still room
The second payment is due by July 21
Members will also receive a $0.50 per dozen discount on eggs and 10% discount on chicken.

2012 Trail’s End Farm CSA Details
There are a few changes planned for the farm this year that the CSA will need to know:
- We will be packing the CSA boxes on Thursday night instead of Friday night and storing them in our walk-in cooler. This will allow us to attend the Sierra Valley Farmer’s Market which is during the day on Fridays.
- Because of the Thursday pack, boxes will be available at the farm in Janesville for pickup on Friday evenings. Boxes not picked up on Fri. will be taken to the Susanville Market on Saturday
- We have a member who is trying to organize a pickup in Westwood. There will need to be a minimum of 10 members signing up for Westwood pickup to make this work. We are looking at a Friday delivery to Westwood but the details are still not worked out.
- Our first share will not be the first market week. Jason is still teaching that week and is required to work Thursday attend LHS Graduation on Friday night June 1. We will still be at the first market but will have much less stress without the CSA that week.
- For a slightly higher price, we are extending the time between payments if you choose a 2-payment plan. The discounts and pricing schedules do favor early payment as one of the biggest benefits for the farm of the CSA is having a source of funding for the big expenses early in the season like seed, compost, and irrigation system repairs. When you pay early, we have less need to borrow operating funds.
