ANNOUNCING THE FALL SHARE 2016.

Okay, y'all! It's that time! We are super excited––like, sweet potatoes and fresh ginger excited––to announce our fall share! It will be our last in Bowling Green sadly, but for that reason, we're working hard to make it extra special.Here is the breakdown:The fall share will run 9 weeks, starting September 27th (Hannah's birthday!) and going until November 22nd.The cost of the share will be $180 (which works out to be $20/wk).Delivery will be ONLY ON TUESDAYS at the CFM from 2 - 6 p.m..We will still come most Saturdays, but only for market-style sales and to see you beautiful people! So unfortunately, no Saturday CSA pickup in the fall share.If I may editorialize, the fall is the best. It starts out with all the summer stuff still coming in, but moves quickly into carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, ginger, Brussels sprouts, several different kinds of kale, spinach, arugula, lettuce, turnips, celery, [crosses fingers] shiitake mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, garlic, potatoes, winter squash, and so on. And SO so on. What a great food season the fall is!SPACE IS LIMITED!If you are interested, please email us ASAP at roughdraftfarmstead at gmail dot com.Or call us at two seven zero - four five seven - four nine five six!Thank you!Jesse + Hannah + Further.

ANNOUNCING THE SPRING/SUMMER CSA 2016.

We are beyond excited to announce that our Spring/Summer 2016 share is officially open! Starting some time in May the veggies will begin to roll in and there are many fun additions to the CSA this year (did someone say strawberries?). But first, as always, we need some sign ups so we can buy your seeds and get to planting!Here's the rundown but don't please don't stop at the price––we are introducing some new payment plans (below) to make this affordable for as many people as possible. Everyone deservers their own farmers!Single Share: $400 ($20/wk)Double Share: $760 ($38/wk)Payment Plans.In order to get the season going, we always need to receive some money upfront. That's the only way we can afford the seeds ($1000), the few tools we need ($500), etc... But we know not everyone can do it that way. So here's what we've come up with!- The Week-to-Week:In the Week-to-Week plan we only ask that you a) dedicate yourself to the entire season, through glut and dearth, and b) pay for two shares upfront (like a deposit) so that if you miss a later week, it's already covered. In other words, $40 for the first week, $20 for every subsequent (the last week already paid for). HOWEVER, we are only allowing any one family to do this for two years (starting this year, of course, for those who have done it before). The reason is that we want you to treat our farm like your own farm and budget it into your lives. So after two years, which do not have to be successive––in case you have an off year, as we all do––we would ask you to switch to the Half-and-Half plan to continue with our farm. Also, because our farmers market is the best, we can accept SNAP!- The Half-and-Half:This one is pretty self explanatory––half up front ($200 for a single) and the other half before week #11. Neither half has to be paid all at once, just paid before that half of the season begins––installments are fine. Again, our goal is to have you paying in full eventually, so any one family is allowed the half-and-half plan for three years.- The All-at-Once:The entire share is paid for before the season begins. This is where we want everyone to be eventually, which we realize may seem crazy for some. But think of it this way, if you put back roughly $7.70/week––$1.10 every day––for a year, you would be able to handle this no sweat. Just set a reminder and put the money away. We would happily take jars of change as payment if necessary–-whatever works for you!There are a few other new things about the CSA this year - including your choice of Tuesday OR Saturday pick-up, online payments, and other changes you can read more about HERE. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask! We look forward to growing you loads of healthy, seasonal, chemical-free food!J+H.
