I only have two experiences. The first was
several years ago, I offered a working share. I forget the percentage, but this
was when I boxed things up and dropped shares off in town, so I couldn’t control
whether they took a share or not. They never showed up (made lots of
appointments to come) and I didn’t offer a working share again. This past
summer I had a gentleman show up every week for 2 hours before distribution (I
now set up farmstand style and let them pick out their veggies) and volunteer
to help. He mostly washed potatoes since that is what I seemed to be holding to
the last minute. I am offering him a half price share $250 vs $500) next year. He
might even volunteer again, and I offered him some treats that others didn’t
get, raspberries, etc, but mostly he just volunteered. I feel better offering
him a half price share, and it establishes a precedent that I offer working
shares to those who have proven their reliability as volunteers. Beth Spaugh Farm Fresh Food Club CSA - http://rhomestead.com Garden fresh vegetables, organically

On Behalf Of pech Hello everyone, I have a question for you CSA people. How do you figure hours worked
for a share? For example I have a peoson who wants to work for 1/2 the
share price and I don't know how many hours she should expect to
work The past couple of years I haven't really had to deal with this but
this year seems different. I guess I'm looking for an hourly wage. Any
thoughts? Thanks dave Z6a |
