It’s been nearly 70 degrees outside, and that can mean one fantastic thing: The Red Hook CSA 2012 season is nigh!
Last year’s members can begin signing up on Thursday, March 15. You will have first priority until March 31. If you do not get your contract and payment in by that date, your application will be processed during new member sign-up.
We will be opening the CSA to new members starting on April 1. Those who were on the wait list will have priority access until April 15. After that, anyone in the 11231 zip code is free to join (if there are open spots).
The season will start on Saturday, June 16!
