The Steering Committee met a few weeks ago and laid out the framework for next season. The cost of the shares will increase by 5%, large shares will be $525 and small shares will be $315. This increase will allow for the administrative costs of running Stone’s Throw which are currently being paid out of the growers’ pockets.
Current Stone’s Throw shareholders are being offered the 2009 shares before anyone else. If you would like to reserve a place in Stone’s Throw CSA for the 2009, 20 week growing season, please send a check for the $50 deposit to Stone’s Throw CSA, 96 Eight Lots Road, Sutton, MA 01590 along with the attached registration form by December 15th.
As of December 16th we will be sending emails to everyone who asked to be placed on Stone’s Throw waiting list this past season and asking that they submit their deposits by December 31st, on a first come, first served basis. After that point in time we will open up any additional shares available to the general public.
The number of shares will increase from 35 to 50 for 2009. To accommodate this, we will be holding two different distribution days, Tuesdays and Saturdays from 2 – 7 PM. Please indicate which day you would prefer on your registration form. We will try and accommodate everyone that is currently enrolled as to their first choice of pick up dates as long as we have that information in a timely manner, by December 15th.
Thanks for a great first year.
Stone’s Throw Steering Committee
