SUNFIELD FARM & SCHOOL

“We live very close together. So our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”—The Dalai Lama

PLEASE JOIN US for our next Donor Appreciation Luncheon on Wednesday, February 16, from 11-12 here on the farm. Last month we had a wonderful luncheon with five guests, good conversation, and a short tour of the farm. Meet new friends and bring one with you if you'd like. This is not an “ask” event, rather a chance to say thank you and show you what goes on at Sunfield. Please RSVP at 385-3658 or jmeyer@sunfieldfarm.org.

JOIN OUR CSA and receive Sunfield veggies and fruit throughout the growing season.
Half Plowshare—$395 (avg. $16 per week). Six to ten items (bunches, heads, etc.) weekly, plus seasonal flowers and herbs. This feeds a family of four with a mixed diet, or 2 vegetarians. If you are single, we encourage you to arrange to split a share with a friend.
Full Plowshare—$605 (avg. $25 per week). For the voracious vegetable eater! It will contain ten to fifteen items (bunches, heads, etc.) weekly, plus seasonal flowers and herbs and will easily feed a family of four vegetarians, or 2 households sharing.
Working Share—$295 The Working Share is the same as a Half Plowshare, but is for those who like to get their hands dirty! We require eight mornings of work at the farm, most commonly assisting with the preparation of the harvest but sometimes with crop production, be it planting, pruning, trellising or weeding. In exchange for this help your share is offered at a reduced price. We urge you to evaluate your schedule to be certain it a feasible option for you prior to making this commitment.
Sponsor Share—$600 In addition to receiving a weekly Half Plowshare and invitations to our donor functions, the sponsor share provides the opportunity to directly support our produce donations to the local food banks, and our free local educational programs. A partial tax-exemption can be arranged.
Sign up early and save 5%. Farming expenses occur early in the season, so the earlier you join, the more it helps. We offer a 5% discount if you pay in full before April 1.

I hope this finds you well and having a great start to 2011. Thank you for your support of Sunfield Farm and Waldorf School.
