The Price of Great Food

**2009-2010 MEMBERSHIP IS FULL. YOU CAN CONTACT US AT WINTERGREENSCSA@GMAIL.COM IF YOU WANT TO BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST.**
Everybody knows that cooking at home is cheaper than eating out. What people don't always realize is that often cooking at home produces better food, more suited to your tastes, too.

It's a similar situation with local foods. They're cheaper because there has been no transportation and often no packaging, and they taste better because they're fresher, and harvested in season.

That said, you'd be nuts to not join wintergreens, and keep the local eating going all year long! We're focused on our community, and making sure that everyone has access to great food. After all, we're neighbors, and we're all in this crazy economic crash together.

Prices for the 2009-2010 season are:
  • $315 for a GOOD SEED share
  • $240 for a regular share
  • $75 for a GOOD SEED donation
Share fees are due prior to the start of the distribution season. If you cannot pay in advance, please contact us at wintergreenscsa@gmail.com to make an alternative arrangement. We accept food stamps.

A share comes to $20 per distribution. A Good Seeds share is only a few dollars more per distribution. If you are able to be one of our Good Seeds, please consider doing so. wintergreens will use these funds to help subsidize shares for those in Beacon who cannot afford them.

Good Seeds will be honored in various ways: businesses will be thanked on our website and at our events, individuals will receive extras in their distribution when available. Everyone will have the peace of mind of knowing our community will be well fed all winter long.

**To pay with food stamps/SNAP, contact us: wintergreenscsa@gmail.com

  2. Ah, my dear Campbell. If you keep giving out "Campbell's Special Kisses," maybe we can work out a deal!
