CSA 2018 Membership Agreement
By purchasing a CSA share, I agree to accept the risks and rewards inherent to farming. I understand that Great Country Farms will work in good faith to produce the best possible crop using sustainable growing methods, but I also understand that crops may be damaged by natural forces beyond the farmer’s control, and that my share may be affected by such damage.
I understand that my share will be divided into 20 portions, available weekly beginning on June 5 and continuing through October 19. I agree to abide by the guidelines specific to the pick-up location I have chosen. I understand that the price I pay for my share is an investment in the farm’s operating budget, and that it cannot be refunded after July 1, 2018. I have read the CSA refund policy below, and I accept it.
I understand that my membership includes unlimited admission to the farm during normal hours of operation for members of my immediate family.
I understand that my membership includes a weekly U-pick bonus, which must be picked at the farm. Bonuses cannot be shipped, rescheduled, exchanged for other products, or claimed in the farm market; they must be picked in the fields, which are not accessible by foot. Guests must ride to the fields in our tractor-drawn wagons, which run regularly throughout the day.
I will receive a 10% discount on any additional produce I pick or purchase, and a 10% discount on farm parties. I understand that my membership does not include complimentary field trip admission.
I understand that the e-newsletter Crop Talk is the farm’s primary vehicle for communicating with its members, and I agree to stay abreast of farm news by reading the newsletter every week.
