Please print out the signup form and mail it in with the $100 deposit in order to hold your spot. Final payments are due April 1, 2008.

• Email us at trilliumhaven@earthlink.net if you have any further questions.
• Just a reminder: Fulton Market shares are limited; the earlier you sign up, the better!
• All 2007 available shares for both pickup sites were sold by March last year, and we are expecting a similar response for the 2008 shares.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. How do I pay for my share?
   
   We request that your completed sign-up sheet be mailed to us with a check for the $100 deposit. The deposit saves your spot, and the total is due April 1; you can also pay the total amount if you are able. Please consider paying in installments if you would like—each payment with the check number will be recorded on your sign-up sheet, and we will keep track of the total. If you sign up in November, that gives you 5 months to mail in installments.

2. The total share price gives me sticker shock! A better way of looking at the total price of $415 (farm share) or $430 (Fulton share) is to divide it by the total number of weeks (22 per season) which breaks down to $19 per week (farm share) and $19.50 per week (Fulton share). Our prices for approximately two full bags of veggies (and up to 4 bags once tomato season begins) are comparable to what you would pay for Meijers conventional produce which is neither fresh, seasonal, nor locally produced.

3. I’m not sure I can handle a full share of produce—do I have any other options?
   
   We recommend new members share their share with another couple/friends/family member. Unless you are a regular farmer’s market shopper, who is very familiar with seasonal produce, and uses your kitchen regularly, the full share may be a little overwhelming. Another advantage to sharing your share is the price—you only have to pay 1/2 of the share price, lowering your price per week to $9.00.

4. Between now and June is a long time—how will the farm keep in contact with me, and how will I be notified once the CSA pick ups begin?
   
   We keep in contact with our members via email, postcard and mailed letters. It is very important that your contact information be filled out completely on your sign up form—in particular zip codes and email addresses are vital. Once we have received your sign up form, we will email you a confirmation that we have received your check. In March we will send out a postcard and email reminder of the balance still due (if any). In May you will receive a New Member Welcome packet and letter from the farm, which includes the calendar of farm events and the target date for our first CSA pickup in 2007.
   
   A few days before pickup begins, you will receive an email reminder about the pickup sites and times. If you do not use your email on a regular basis, we will contact you by phone.
