Hello farm friends.

Please consider joining us - help spread the word about what it means to be a part of our farm! Read on for more about us and what's new.
What Do Farmers Do In The Winter?
• Attend Winter Conferences – fun times gathering with other crazy farmers like us to learn about new growing strategies and ways to improve crops and soils.
• AND lots of planning! Our days are spent pouring over data from last year, calculating yields and projecting sales, researching new varieties and projects, ordering seeds and supplies, and mapping out fields – continuous improvement means constant learning and self-discipline. For the next few weeks, our heads are in the spreadsheets.
WHAT’S NEW THIS SEASON? MARKET SHARES CARDS
• Buy down plan. One-upfront fee $425. Cards can be used throughout the entire farm season as you see fit. Once spent, you can load money back on it, in increments of $100. Also, any unused balances from the summer season can be rolled over and used during our fall season.
• Invest upfront in the farm like a CSA member, without the weekly commitment. Guaranteed share of the harvest (versus walk-in shopping); Pick-Your-Own discounts (for strawberries and blueberries!). Receive member emails regarding the week’s harvest and farm happenings; it’s your choice on how and when to spend your farm dollars.
• Good for ALL purchases on the farm. Use your Market Share Card to purchase anything offered to traditional CSA members in the weekly harvest AND other items. It’s essentially a gift card; use it to purchase items in our farm store, from vegetables, meats, cheeses, eggs to Pick-Your-Own.
• Market Share Cards make a great gift for your favorite foodie! Just complete the purchase in your own name and address (for credit card processing purposes). Then send an email to jen@walkingbirdfarm.com with the gift recipient’s contact info. Market Cards will be available on the farm at first pickup; we will have your info on file.
