2012 Sanders Ridge Organic Farm Food Guild (CSA)
 Now accepting applications

Thank you for your interest in our 2012 Food Guild!  For the past 6 years, our Farm's Food Guild has offered our members quality USDA Certified Organic produce from a trusted source - and for our farm - a fair and equitable compensation for our harvests. It is such a joy to be able to work at something you love and it is double the pleasure to get to know the people you do it for (and with)! 

The 2012 Food Guild will be our 7th - and we anticipate - our BEST yet!  Our farm's Food Guild is a traditional CSA (with a few additional perks!)  Members pay a membership fee to our farm in advance of the growing season in return for a weekly Share in the farm's harvest. The membership fee investment enables us to purchase the necessary materials, seeds, and labor for the growing season. In tern, members receive a variety of freshly harvested vegetables each week.  The types of vegetables will vary week to week reflecting our local growing season and what's coming out of the garden.  (View List). 

Each member signs a statement agreeing to accept the same risks to their investment that we face and will not expect refund of their membership fee for circumstances beyond our control.  Members may rest assured knowing that in order to insure quality harvests and minimize the risk of crop loss we incorporate progressive and sustainable farming techniques including drip irrigation,  greenhouse/high tunnel production, row covers, crop rotation, succession planting, mulches and cover cropping,  beneficial insect and animal habitats, companion planting, selection and seed saving of top performing open pollinated/heirloom seeds,  purchase of seeds and nursery stock from reputable and trusted seed sources, and we grow several varieties of each type of vegetable.

Members also agree to bring leave reusable box we furnish each week when they pick up their share, and they understand that we cannot hold or re-deliver shares that are not picked up.

Our 2012 Food Guild Membership (CSA) Share begins on May 1st and ends on October 2nd.

The cost is $550 and includes the following:

  • 7 to 10 pounds of freshly harvested USDA Certified Organic produce delivered weekly for 20 consecutive weeks to the pick up location of your choice (see list below.)
    We strive to always harvest the morning of - or the evening before delivery day! 

  • One large reusable fabric grocery bags to use when picking up your weekly harvest share (...and to keep at the end of the season!)

  • Notes from the Farm + Recipes will be emailed every Monday to let you know what we will be harvesting and packing along with recipes and other helpful information

  • Free wine tastings for each member and 1 guest at the Sanders Ridge Winery during the membership period.  (Winery is open daily from noon to 6pm. Taste your choice of 5 of our 12 wines. Tasters must be 21 or older)

  • 10% discount off wine, food, and gift items purchased at Sanders Ridge Winery and Restaurant during the membership period. Also get 10% off wine purchased at any of the Farmers Market locations we will be attending this season.  (Just let us know on Mondays what you'd like and which market you'll want to pick it up and we will have it ready for you.)
