Hi there,
I just wanted to let you know that I a pleasantly surprised to find this sort of program here in Stratford. I am interested in joining but I wanted to ask a few questions first.
How much is the small share bin?
Is there an additional charge if I wanted to choose what goes into my bin?
And on what day do I pick it up?
How do I pay you? Weekly, monthly, up front etc?
Thanks so much.
Steph

Hi there!
I too am in North London, but on the west end. Is there any chance of a pick up spot out here in the north west being set up? I am also wondering about the day of the London pick up. Could you describe the process for choosing the produce that would come in my basket? We are adventurous eaters, but have some food sensitivities.
Thanks!
Angela

If there is enough demand for a pick up location in that area, and we have someone who would be willing to have the pick up at their home. If you or anyone reading this are interested in becomming a pick up location (in any area) please contact us for further details. If someone is willing to host it will put that option out to registered members once all the applications are in and see if their is enough demand to add additional areas.
London is likely to be a Thursday evening pick up each week.
In the traditional CSA share it means that you are open to seeing anything come through your basket and the produce will reflect what is harvesting, if you have a specific food allergy please let us know.
In the We Grow Your Garden CSA you will recieve a microsoft excel spreadsheet each week with a list of items that will be harvesting the following week. You select the number of items for your share size, ie 6-8 for the small share or 10-12 for the regular share (it will say on the sheet how many for that week). Some items may have a maximum on them (ie fruit or other items that are not in surplus that week) otherwise you may select as many of an individual item as you like to your maximum. The sheets are sent out on the Friday and due back by Monday afternoon, email access is required for the We Grow Your Garden program. In the event that you do not return your sheets in time we will send out a traditional CSA bin for that week.
