Farm Membership – Spring Subscription
Urban Patchwork provides fresh, affordable food for Austin one neighborhood at a time. The Urban Patchwork network not only grows food for our bodies, it offers farm start-up programs, workshops, classes, job creation and more!
When you become a Subscription Member of the farm, we ask that you join and commit to the community by agreeing to the following:
__________
As a Member of my community farm I commit to membership in the Urban Patchwork Farm Network for the Spring 2012 season (March-July). As a Subscription Member, I will:
Support the farm through timely payment of either
- the full $300 share cost and by completing one 4-hour shift of volunteer time during the spring season
- the half $150 share cost plus a time commitment of approximately two 4-hour shifts/month throughout the season. (Please be willing to schedule this in somewhat of a regular interval so we can plan ahead knowing when you’ll be with us each week.)
or
My hours may be completed at the distribution site, in the field, helping with administrative tasks or in other ways that allow me to use my best skills to benefit my community.
- If I am unable to attend a share pick-up day, I must either contact the farm in advance and pick up my share at the Friday harvest work day immediately preceding, or arrange to have someone else pick up my share. I understand that if I don’t pick up my share or make other arrangements my share will be used elsewhere on the farm as preserved food, animal feed, and compost, or it will be donated to an emergency food provider.
- Join with UP and my neighborhood farmer in both the risks of farming (crop failure, poor weather, etc.) and its benefits (a bountiful harvest season and the joy of experiencing farm life). I understand that my share will vary from week to week, generally consisting of 5-9 different types of seasonal vegetables, 1-2 preserved food items, and eggs as available. I know that there is no guarantee on the exact amount or contents of my share and that the shares will vary in weight and size depending on the time of the season.
By participating in my neighborhood farm, I am creating a new type of food culture in my neighborhood, supporting renewable farming practices, building community, and changing the way that Austin thinks about food … Sign me up!
