Please donate

UPDATE 6/27: We reached our goal!! Five different people donated a total of $170! Yay!! Thank you!! !

Please help us raise $81.25 so that a low income family can be a part of our CSA this year through the Farm Share Program.

Vermont Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) has a great program to help low income families join CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture - the buy a share of the farm in the spring, get a basket of veggies every week all summer deal).

In the Farm Share Program, the family pays half the cost of the CSA, NOFA pays a quarter of the cost, and the farm raises donations for the other quarter. Most CSAs raise their part through donations that CSA participants make when they sign up, but we found out about the program too late to do that. So we had planned to start participating in the program next year.

But then Enid, the director of NOFA-VT, called and said that there was a family this year who wanted to participate in our CSA through the Farm Share Program. Enid asked us if we would consider joining the program this year. She asked us to try to raise as much of the $81.25 for that share as we can, and NOFA will chip in the rest.

So please consider a donation of $10 or $15. Make your check out to NOFA-VT (it's tax deductible!), and send it to us at P.O. Box 181, Peacham VT 05862. We'll gather up the donations and send them in a bundle to NOFA.

Thanks very much!
