equity shares
Dutch Kills CSA offers a regular full-size, half-price Equity Vegetable Share for $350 to members who cannot afford to pay full price. This year for the first time, we are also offering a Half Share for $175: it’s a full-size, regular veggie box that you pick up on alternating weeks. The cost of an equity veggie box is $14.58 per week.
Our CSA covers half the cost of every equity share, which is why we can only afford to fund 20 equity shares. Please apply early! There are no subsidies for Family Veggie Shares or Fruit Shares or extras such as mushrooms.
Equity members have the same responsibilities as other members of Dutch Kills CSA, including paying an annual membership fee ($10) and working two volunteer shifts.
Registration opens April 1; deadline to apply is May 15.
Please read the income guidelines below to see if you qualify.
If you need help to afford a vegetable share, please complete the application below. If your income exceeds our guidelines, but you have extenuating circumstances, please write to us at info@dutchkillscsa.com. We will let you know within a week if your application has been approved.
PAYMENT: The price of an equity share does not include any processing fees, and so we ask that you pay for your equity share by check. You can pay in full when you register, or you can arrange a payment plan with $185 due when you register ($175 + $10 membership fee = $185), and $175 due by August 1. Include both checks ($185 + $175) in the same envelope—one with the current date and one dated August 1. Write all checks payable to DUTCH KILLS CSA.
