I pulled this off of the Local Harvest Forum (http://www.localharvest.org/forum/). They have not contacted us Boulder Belt Farmers yet but if they do we will refuse their "services"

There is a nation wide scam targeting CSA farmers! We (and several farmers we know) received multiple phone calls from people claiming to be part of a private trust called Debt Free Organic which will give small farmers up to 2.5 million dollars to pay off debts and use on farm projects. They ask for a donation "to process your application". They use a lot of persuasive language- "how open minded are you?" and >"are you an information gatherer or do you really want help?" etc... When I tried to get addresses, full names, tax ID etc...they got hostile. It makes me SICK to think of them taking any small farmer's money!
