Want to join the GHCSA? We will be having our second new member sign up event on Saturday, March 28th 10am – 12pm at Habana Outpost: 757 Fulton St @ South Portland (entrance on South Portland). Sign up for the wait list to receive more info and updates about upcoming sign up events.
CSA Sign-ups start this week!
Sign-ups for the Summer 2015 CSA season begin Saturday, February 21. Current members may sign up online (via a link we’ll send to your email), or come see us in person at Habana ToGo Saturday, February 21, from 10:30 am to 12 pm. For those of you on the waiting list, we will have in-person sign-up on Saturday, March 14, at Habana Outpost from 10 am to 12 pm. Online sign-ups are only available to current members; new members must attend an in-person event.
Current Members: Fill out the Survey!
If you were a member of GHCSA in 2014, you should have received a survey from us asking for your feedback on the last season. Please fill them out (check your spam and “promotions” folders if you don’t see this in your mailbox)! We use the survey responses to plan new seasons – and we share them with our farmers – and we greatly appreciate hearing from our members. And keep an eye on those email in-boxes for new season sign-up dates.
Winter CSA Starts November 8
Already missing summer CSA? Mark your calendars: first winter CSA distribution is November 8 (and yes, half of the winter CSA will technically take place in the fall!). Complete winter CSA info here.
Winter CSA Sign Up Closed
Winter CSA sign up for members is now closed.
Winter CSA Sign-Ups Going on Right Now!
If you are currently a member of GHCSA, there is still time to sign up for a winter CSA share. For those of you new to the Winter Share, vegetable shares are comprised of frozen veggies as well as storage vegetables (like squash and sweet potatoes, among other things). Pick ups are Saturdays, but because the food comes pre-boxed and it is very cold outside, distributions are 1 hour instead of two. More information here.
To sign up, follow the link in the email you received from GHCSA in late September. If you can’t find the email, and you’d like to sing up for winter CSA, please email info@ghcsa.org
2014/15 Winter CSA Details emerging
We are in the process of finalizing plans for this year’s Winter CSA. Although we are still waiting for some info on pricing and availability, we do know that we will be processing orders in the next week or so, and there will be a very limited sign up period, with payments required in full at that time.
Current pricing is as follows:
Family Vegetable: $262
Single Vegetable: $141
Subsidized Single Vegetable: $85
Beef Share: $162
We will have pricing for fruit and egg shares available for you as soon as we get the info from the farmers.
For those of you new to the Winter Share, vegetable shares are comprised of frozen veggies as well as storage vegetables (like squash and sweet potatoes, among other things). Pick ups are Saturdays, but because the food comes pre-boxed and it is very cold outside, distributions are 1 hour instead of two.
Please think about purchasing a Winter Share, and look for sign up info in the coming week.
Happy New Season!
The sixth season of GHCSA started Saturday, May 31, with some great weather and lots of greens! We’re all looking forward to spending Saturday mornings at the Habana. If you’re not currently a member, we are sold out of shares, but do please sign up for our waiting list.
2014 Signups almost ready
Soon you will be getting email from us with a link to a signup page.
