If you have special circumstances or income constraints that would prevent you from paying the full amount, please contact community@harvestastoria.com.  We are working on getting grants to help provide flexible payment options but we do have the capacity to assist some members at this time.  Thanks to Fresh Start Organic Market Inc., we also can help a limited number of members who use food stamps.   Please accept our apology for not having more concrete information at this time!  Because it is our first year, we are still building our capacity to help as many of our community members as we can.  Please contact us for more information!

ADMIN FEE: Our commitment to community is a bond each member of Harvest Astoria supports. To this end we include a $30 administration fee to each share. Of EACH $30 admin fee, $5 goes towards The Church of the Redeemer to support Community Outreach. $10 goes to provide CSA shares to low-income families at a discounted rate. $15 goes toward general CSA operations and functions (including farm trips, cooking classes etc.) 

SPLITTING A SHARE

The shares from Norwich Meadows Farm are closer to what would be considered a half share at other CSA's (such as Astoria CSA). Zaid recommends that if you are interested in splitting a share with someone you do not live with that you partner with someone who is willing to alternate weeks. Often when you divide a share each week you do not get enough of each item to really be able to cook with. Just a caveat, but you are free to split your share with your share partner however it works best for you. We will not be partnering or managing split shares, but at our membership sign up dates you may be able to meet up with someone else looking for a share partner.
