Hello Christine and Marlin, I will ask this publicly
because many of us have been following your progress. How is your new house
coming along, and how are you all coping with the changes now that winter is
setting in? We do think of you and care.
Beth Spaugh From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Glen Eco Farm Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 9:59 PM To: Market Farming Subject: Re: [Market-farming] Co-Ops Allowing customers to order what they want would
involve a lot of book keeping and packing time. Perhaps you
could take everything which you have available that week and then your
aunt and members could come and pack their own bags. The membership could
take the responsibility of dividing the produce.
We have a CSA on Tuesdays and go to a farmer's
market on Saturdays. We tell our Kurdish PYO customers to come Wednesdays,
Thursdays, or Saturday afternoons.
I use the computer for 98% of our communication
with CSA members, but even that takes time. (We allow some of our members
to work for their share; so I also need to communicate about work hours.)
Just dividing out the produce for 60 shares is a full day's
job for one person.
