CSA Agreement
Passel Hills Farm LLC promises to provide Member with fresh, local, seasonal food and the Member agrees to receive a portion of Farm’s harvest. Passel Hills Farm LLC practices organic farming but is not certified.
Products and Deliveries Members Should Expect
Passel Hills Farm LLC’s CSA runs for 6 or 18 weeks from May 20, 2023 to Oct 7, 2023. Members are expected to show up at the weekly predetermined pick up location, which will be finalized by email between Passel Hills Farm LLC and Member, to pick up Member’s share of Passel Hills Farm LLC’s harvest. Member will receive on average the size of share that they have purchased.
Member is responsible for observing Passel Hills Farm LLC’s pick up rules:
- Return box from the previous week’s collection
- Pick up Member’s share within the timeframe.
- Be respectful of pick up location’s property.
- Follow additional rules at pick up site.
If Member cannot pickup Member’s share, Member must arrange for substitute to pickup share. Member will need to explain the pickup site location and procedures to Member’s substitute and inform Passel Hills Farm LLC that a substitute is being sent. Any shares not retrieved will be discarded or sold to other markets.
Risk of Crop Failure
By joining Passel Hills Farm LLC’s CSA, Passel Hills Farm and Members are agreeing to share the risk of crop failure, due to factors such as inclement weather, pests, and acts of God. If a crop failure does happen, Passel Hills Farm will purchase crops from other local farms to replace up to 50% of the lost crops.
Crop Surplus
Passel Hills Farm LLC also sells produce to other local markets. When Passel Hills Farm LLC has surplus crops, Members will receive at least a 25% surplus before Passel Hills Farm LLC sells to other markets. Passel Hills Farm LLC does not segregate CSA production, but CSA production does receive our priority. Other markets will be satisfied after Passel Hills Farm LLC has satisfied Members’ shares.
Members Fees
Selling CSA memberships helps Passel Hills Farm LLC reduce the burden of up-front costs (such as seeds, tillage, and other inputs) before the season starts. We appreciate Member’s commitment to Passel Hills Farm LLC. By agreeing to the terms of service, you are agreeing to pay the membership fee for share. In the event that Member desires to downsize his or her share after initial purchase, this request should be clearly communicated to Passel Hills Farm LLC and can be granted but a refund will not be granted unless Passel Hills Farm LLC, in its discretion, decides to grant a refund.
Communications Between Farm and Member
The best way to communicate with Passel Hills Farm LLC is via email. Our email is info@passelhillsfarm.com.
