Hello Everyone, Please BE SAFE out there today!
I just wanted to send our box program info., to make for easy reference. We will NOT be a part of the Madison Area CSA Coalition in 2012. We have a few more requirements to meet before the farm can become a candidate for membership. (We are going forward with this process for the future.) Please check with your insurance companies though, because some will reimburse as long as they have a receipt from us. We are now accepting 2012 Box Members. The earlier you sign up for the box program the more time we will have to plan accordingly.
Pick up your box at the farm on:
Tuesdays: 3pm-7pm or
Thursdays: Noon to 6pm
Home Deliveries Available: (we will not be charging for home delivery but will except donations for gas.)
Thursdays 2pm-6pm
(We recommend leaving a cooler out for those hot days and to keep away pests and other critters if you will not be around to receive your box soon after it is delivered!)
We deliver to :
Middleton
Madison (North and West Side, and Downtown) We will consider the South and East sides if we get enough customers.
Verona
Waunakee
Cross Plains
Windsor
Black Earth
Mazomanie
Arena
Sauk
Spring Green
If you live in a town not on the list please contact me to see if we are able to deliver to your direction. We will also be looking for 'DROP OFF LOCATIONS' so multiple customers can pick up their produce in one spot! If you would like to volunteer your home or office for a drop off spot, please contact me ASAP!
Have a Healthy rest of the week,
Jamie
2012 Hillsong Ridge Farm Weekly Box Program:
Hillsong Ridge Farm is focused on producing chemical free, fresh produce for our local communities. In our 3rd year we will continue to grow a wide selection of veggies, herbs, and fruits. We work hard as a family to bring you the best quality food we can provide as we learn how to build a sustainable farm for everyone to enjoy. We put lots of love into what we do at the farm. With your continued support we see a healthy future for all of us.
When you join our box program, you become an active member at our farm. You will receive weekly or biweekly boxes filled with a variety of common veggies as well as other not so common varieties that are grown in Wisconsin Climate. As we continue to nurture our fruit production (it will be a few years yet before we have large quantities)you may also receive a variety of fruits in your box.
The Weekly Produce Box program is an 18-20 week season that was designed to help you save money on produce, teach to eat seasonally, and provide members with special product privileges. The deadline for WPB sign up is March 15th 2012. Payment is due before March 15th, in the form of cash or check. You may pay in full or pay ½ now and post date a check for the other half for July 15th 2012.
As a box member you agree to share in the RISKS as well as the BOUNTY with the farmer and other members. Understand that due to wildlife, mother nature, and/or other production factors, the quantities and varieties may vary seasonally from 1 year to the next. (There are NO REFUNDS with the box program).
