* I would like to be a shareholder in the Mulberry Creek Farm CSA Program.
.
* I understand that the farmers, Glenn, Gail & Maggie Stevens Shourds, will do their best to provide a bounty of seasonal, local, healthy produce to me as a shareholder, and that I am sharing the risks of natural farming with the farmers – that those risks may occasionally affect the items that are included in my share box.
.
* I understand that the CSA works within the honor system.
.
* I understand that it is my responsibility to pick up my share within the appropriate time on my designated delivery day, and that I will contact Mulberry Creek Farm when occasional scheduling conflicts prevent picking up my share on time.
.
* I understand that if my box is not picked up on the designated day, it will be donated at the discretion of the farmers.
