Membership information
A weekly membership in the Greewood Heights CSA -- also called a "full share" -- provides a household of two to three people with enough vegetables for a week. That means 6-10 different items per week, for a total of 5-15 lbs of produce.
Members with a half share pick up every other week. In addition to vegetables, members can also sign up for a share of delicious fruit from Montgomery Place orchard. Members also have the option to purchase egg shares.
The distribution location is inside Slope Park at 6th Avenue between 18th and 19th street. Pickup hours are every Saturday, June through October, between 9:00 and 11:00 am. If you know you'll miss a pickup you can always send a friend to get your share for you.
Like all CSA arrangements, members are sharing in the risks of agriculture with the farmers. Although the farmers aim to supply an ample quantity of many different vegetables and fruits, there is no guarantee that any specific fruit or vegetable, or any specific quantity, will be distributed.
All members, or someone from their household, are asked to schedule and complete a volunteer shift to help with the distribution on one Saturday morning during the season. The hours for the shift are 8:15 am – 11:45 pm. Most members enjoy their shift tremendously -- it is a fantastic way to meet your neighbors and feel more connected to your community.
