January 2010
We are
pleased to announce the continuation of Sunny Harvest
Farms CSA, between Wynnorr Farm and a group of local
Amish farmers. In addition to the Stratton family this
partnership includes eight local Amish families from
Lancaster County. Most of these are young couples with
children who are looking to diversify their farm
operations and provide opportunities for their families.
The
season will run from mid-May to October 30th
2010. This venture is in addition to our
regular market. We will continue to operate the Wynnorr
Farm produce market as always.
For our
third season we are offering a 24 week subscription
beginning in mid-May and continuing until late October.
Each week we plan to include an average of nine
different items for each member share. Seasonal Produce
will include more than 50 types of produce. Not all
items will be included each week.
Whenever
possible, produce will be grown using naturally grown or
organic methods. A full list of this year’s planned
crops is listed below.
We will
also occasionally include specialty items such as
homemade mustard, jams, cut flowers and baked goods. At this time we are
not offering “pick your own” produce.
The cost
for this season for a full share is $750.00 paid in
advance. We are also offering half shares for $390.00
paid in advance. A half share is picked up once every
two weeks, receiving the same items and amounts as a
full share that day.
We are
offering a variety of
Payment Plans and Options this year, so please study
the attached
Pricing Plans carefully. Payment discounts are
offered for early payment at time of registration for
some plans.
Memberships available on a first come first served
basis. By joining now, your family receives a summer of
fresh local produce at a guaranteed low price.
Our
third season will include 24 weeks of produce with
approximately 8-10 items each week. Missed pick ups
will not be refunded. Shares are non transferable
without our permission. You may split a share with a
friend or neighbor as long as all produce is picked up
together at the same time. Membership Card or Photo ID
must be presented to pick up your weekly share. If you
are on vacation, you may send someone (with your
membership card) to pick up your share. Please note we
are offering a Vacation Plan Option – see attached for
details.
Your
once weekly pick up will be at Wynnorr Farm, unless we
are able to arrange for other pick up points. If you
are interested in helping sponsor another pick up point,
please give us a call – 20 share minimum required for a
separate site.
Please
be aware that most of the crops are weather sensitive
and the control of the weather is out of the farmers’
hands. Therefore some crops may not grow as expected
and be available, if the weather does not cooperate.
Your
share will hopefully include seasonal produce from the
selection below. Not all items will be offered each
week. Please be sure to check out the link on the right
of this page to the Pa Dept of Agriculture's seasonal
produce list. Remember that unlike a supermarket
chain a CSA does not have all types of produce available
each week.
