Either way, I would definitely be interested in volunteer activities that are closer to home. I would definitely be willing to volunteer for half hour time slots or even the full distribution time. Sounds like you could use a volunteer volunteer coordinator. On a side note, are there any openings for the spring season shares?Gillian Wymannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36142811.post-55604246446910541272012-10-24T11:05:34.554-05:002012-10-24T11:05:34.554-05:00We hear you.

It simply isn't that easy to grow high volume that early UNLESS everyone wants ALOT of greens. I think it is fair to say that a minority of people love greens to that extent, so it is difficult to want to ramp up that part of the operation if it will be a hard sell. That, and, we are trying to get the farm going for the main season, so it isn't so easy to maintain a larger extended Spring group and get the farm going.<br />The Fall season is perhaps more intriguing. The issue there is that the growing season is in full swing and it is difficult to do the admin work to promote and add people at that time. It doesn't matter what online tools, etc you have, it still takes time and energy. <br /><br />So, there is your long answer. And, here is the short one: We'd like to do this, but we're not sure we have it in us to do this.<br /><br />That said - we sometimes have people split a share, with one person being around from June-August and the other late-August through October.

I am a grad student who just moved from Tennessee, and would like to support a CSA, but there isn't an easy way to do so on a school schedule I would suspect you would get several takers for semester-long shares, particularly grad students & upperclass undergrads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
