Aquí tenemos la Formula de Membresía por este año. Se puede encontrar la formula aquí o en la pagina se llama “Membership”.
Hi friends, both new and old!
We are gearing up for our 2014 season! The Tierra Direct CSA is under new management this year, so please forgive us while we adjust to the changes.
You will find the new 2014 Membership Agreement Form–both in printable and online formats–in the “Membership” section.
This year the CSA will be running for 22 weeks. Unfortunately we are no longer able to use the Columbia Community Partnership for Health (CCPH) as our regular pick-up site, although we will be hosting meet-and-greet sessions at this location. The meet-and-greet sessions with be on Wednesdays April 9, April 23, May 7, and May 21 from 5:00pm to 8:00pm at the CCPH (at 390 Fort Washington Avenue in between 177th and 178th Streets, ground floor). You will be able to fill out or drop off completed Membership Agreements Forms as well as installment or complete payments at these times. Forms and payments may also be mailed–please see the Membership Agreement Form for details. All payments are due May 21, 2014 by 7:30pm.
For now, the CSA will be hosting pick-ups after the 175th Street Farmers market, on 175th Street between Broadway and Wadsworth. We are searching for an indoor location to host pick-ups from. Any new location that we select to host the CSA at will be within easy walking distance from both CCHP and the 175th Street Farmers Market.
For additional information, please see the below flyer and the 2014 Membership Agreement Form (found in the “Membership” section).
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or leads on a new indoor pick-up location, please email us at tierradirectcsa@gmail.com!
Thank you! We are greatly looking forward to starting the season and meeting all your wonderful faces.
Caylee Clay and Julio Marcial,
The new Tierra Direct CSA coordinators.
CSA members new and old, get ready for the 2013 Tierra Direct CSA Season! We want to thank all our members again for their participation and express our excitement that summer, and the CSA, is finally starting.
The first distribution will be in exactly one week from now, on Thursday, June 6th. Let the countdown to all those fresh, local veggies begin!!
Once the CSA season kicks off, we’re hoping to host some cooking demos, as we have done in years past, so that we can all share with each other some great ideas about how to make the best use of our CSA vegetables. Especially some of the unfamiliar ones! (Leek soup and beet salad, anyone?) So stay tuned for these events! In the meantime, here are some photos from a cooking demo we held at the Columbia Community Partnership for Health last fall to get your mouth watering:
Love to cook? Got a great recipe to share? Let us know- we’d love you to show us!
