Membership

To become a member of the Park Slope CSA, you

• Purchase at least one Full or EOW veggie share
• Pay for your share and membership fee
• Sign up for your workshift(s) when the calendar is available and work on site at the distributions

Since we are all volunteers, a small amount of your time is required to help the distributions run smoothly. Full Share members work 5 hours in two shifts and EOW Share members work 2.5 hours in one shift. Workshift hours for Tuesday begin at 1:45 pm to 4:15pm for the early slot and 4:15pm to 6:45pm for the late slot. Thursday work hours begin at 3pm to 5:30pm followed by 5:30pm to 8pm

Members work with a Site Coordinator to help unload the truck, set up tents and tables, re-stock produce, check in members and help to clean up and put things away. Distributions take place rain or shine (even during a blackout if the produce has been delivered!). Please dress accordingly.

Core Members

Core members are extra-dedicated and help administer the CSA, write and produce the Garlic Press newsletter and recipe pages, supervise the distribution, coordinate the work schedule, manage the website, maintain our data base and finances, and plan changes and improvements. In return, they receive a discounted share for their participation. If you are interested in becoming more involved, please let us know.
