LocalHarvest.org is the best online listing for me.  Locally, getting listed in church bulletins and flyers in stores shopped by like-minded people - bike shops, record shops, health food stores can work OK.  Finally, word of mouth is the best source.  It doesn't help at all the first season, but if you do a good job, by the third season it should really kick in.  Consider adding members through the season also.  I always take people whenever they are ready to join and pro-rate the share cost to reflect their start date.

I'm looking for help in advertising our CSA and getting members.  We are branching out this year with starting a small CSA.  The CSA will beginning the last week of June but I still don't have many people signed up and I'm getting nervous.   

I'm doing my best to get the word out.  I have sent emails to our email list, posted on the farm's Facebook page, listed on craigslist, its been mentioned a few times in the local small town paper's food section.  Unfortunately we are not at the farmers markets until the end of June.

What has everyone found to be a good way to get the word out?

Thanks in advance for all the words of wisdom,
Andrea
