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.

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,AndreaQuarter Acre FarmSonoma, CA
