Returning members: If you paid a $50 deposit, the farm will send you a contract for 2008. Please fill out two copies, one for you and one for the farm. Mail the copy to the farm with your first installment (or you may choose to pay your entire fee all at once). Please stop by the farm to sign up for work slots on the work schedule in the packing shed. Or you can email Elizabeth with the dates you want to work.

On farm pick-up: for residents of Wayne and Ontario Counties:

• Thursdays: 1:30 PM till Friday noon

Pick up Clusters: we recommend arranging a pick up schedule with other members in your town. The farm will provide you with a list of local members. Please send a copy of your cluster's pick-up schedule to the farm.

If you want to take your share (or your cluster's shares) at the end of your farm work slot, you must tell the farmers when you arrive for your work shift.

If you cannot pick up your share during regular hours, please call the farm to make alternative arrangements. We will hold your share if requested, but we can't guarantee the quality beyond 3-4 days. All unclaimed shares are donated to local people who need the food.
