By purchasing a Belvedere Farm CSA share (weekly or biweekly), you are agreeing to terms of the following CSA Membership Agreement:
I am buying a weekly or biweekly portion of Belvedere Farm’s (the “Farm”) harvest in advance, and entering into a relationship with the Farm for the duration of the CSA term.
I understand that my investment directly supports the Farm by providing much-needed capital for anticipated expenses, early in the season. I agree to pay my share in full by the designated deadline.
I understand that by signing up for a share of the harvest, I am agreeing to share in both the potential bounty and the potential risk of farming. While the Farm has a strong track record of growing flowers, there is always a risk of weather, natural disaster, pest issues, or unforeseen events that could interfere with the growth or successful harvest of the CSA flowers. If my CSA flowers are not available for one of these or similar reasons, the Farm will refund a pro-rated share of my CSA payment. (Example: If the farm is only able to provide 4 weeks of the ranunculus CSA, I will receive a refund of $50.)
I understand it is my responsibility to pick up my share during one of the CSA distribution times. If I am unable to pick up my share, I will ask someone to collect my share for me. If my share is not picked up, I forfeit the share for that week.
By purchasing a weekly or biweekly share from the Farm, I hereby agree to release, indemnify and hold harmless, the Farm, its agents and employees from any and all claims and/or liability that may arise from being on Farm property, from the purchase of a CSA share, or from the use of the flowers provided by the Farm.
In return, the Farm, through its farmers, promises to do its best to provide the flowers expected every week of the designated growing season. We will employ responsible growing techniques, harvest the best blooms available, and generally work extremely hard to make sure our CSA members receive their weekly share of color and joy!
