Week 22: Last distribution and renewals for next season!

It's hard to believe that this is the last week of the main season CSA distribution! It's been a great year, but now it's almost time to put the fields to rest for the winter and start planning for next season. If you're having a hard time letting go of Appleton veggies for the year, there is still one more chance to stock up, as there are a few vegetable shares available for our Thanksgiving Share distribution on November 25th. Be sure to drop off your order form this week to ensure you get one.

Renewal forms for the 2014 season will be handed out this week during CSA distribution. Any forms that are not picked up this week will be mailed out the following week, so if your mailing address has changed, please be sure to update us. Please note that we have increased the price for the 2014 season by $10 to $650 for TTOR members and $705 for non-members. In working on the CSA's budget for the 2014 season with Trustees management, it quickly became apparent that a slight price increase was necessary to keep up with rising materials and labor costs. I think this small price increase still represents an excellent value to our shareholders and is very competitive with other CSAs in the area.

In order to secure a share for next season, a deposit of $325 is due by January 3rd, 2014. The final bills will go out in late April/early May of 2014. Please note, in order to receive the TTOR member discount, your membership must be valid through June 1st, 2014. If you need to make alternative payment arrangements, please contact our Office Manager Maura Mastrogiovanni at mmastrogiovanni@ttor.org.
