Spring 2012 on the Farm

 Remember those farm fresh veggies from last year? We have been hard at work in our greenhouses since February to make sure we have plenty of ripe produce for you to enjoy when our farm stands open in June. 

The sign up for the Veggie Club has started and will run through May.  This is your chance to sign up for our Community Supported Agriculture program that is run through both of our farm stands.  Here is more information, and if you wish to sign up, please email us at stevensonfarms@myfairpoint.net for more information and an application.
 
How Does the Veggie Club Work?

The Veggie Club is set up like a Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA) program where club members buy shares,
pre-paying for their veggies before the season begins. As a
member, you will receive a sign-on bonus and be eligible for member only specials throughout the season.  You will choose
your share size (family $250 or single $125) and designate at
which stand you would like to pick up your produce  (Rte. 202 Winthrop or Rte. 219 Leeds).  There are no product restrictions
for club members.  Everything at the stand is eligible, from tomatoes and corn to jams and bread.

There are two locations for your convenience:
*Route 219 just across the Wayne town line in Leeds called
  Levesque’s Farm Stand
*Route 202 in Winthrop called Stevenson Farm Stand
Shares are honored only at the stand you choose.  If you wish to pick up at both stands, you need to buy a share at each stand.

How does the Club save you money?   
Along with specials, members receive a sign-on bonus.  The
family share costs $250 with a 6% bonus and the single share
costs $125 with a 4% bonus just for signing up! 

When are we open?    
We plan to open in mid June and run into mid September at Levesque’s Farm Stand (Leeds) and into late October at Stevenson’s Farm Stand (Winthrop).  We are open 7 days a week through the season.

How do you use your Veggie Club Membership?    
At the stand you choose, we will have a running tab for you.  Come in, shop, and at checkout time your bill is deducted from your balance and you’re on your way.  Unfortunately, you can only use your membership at one stand and any remaining balance at the end of the season will not be reimbursed.  You are able to add to your veggie club balance in $20 increments if you run out before the end of the season.

Thank you for your interest in our farm!
Buy Local, Eat Fresh!
