Update:
Dear Returning and Potential Careshare Subscriber: We are preparing for the 2024 growing season, and are excited for what this year holds and the much anticipated changes. First, we say, “Thank You and we greatly Appreciate” the subscription support from all of our returning subscribers; and we “Welcome” all of our New subscribers. Now, we have several changes to share and implement this year: First, we received a grant from the USDA to add a larger HighTunnel which allows us to grow more vegetable under a much more controlled environment; We can now host 20 Caresharers. Second, to better accommodate our customers and our extended growing season, we are combining our three harvesting seasons into one 18-week growing season called a Careshare. The first careshare harvest should begin sometime before mid-June, weather permitting, and will run through November. Third, the 18 week Careshare Season subscription price is $900 for the entire season; customers may pay the entire $900 at one time or break their payments into three equal payments of $300 with the first payment due no later than May 15th and the balance (when applicable) is due no later than November 15th. First preference is still given to our returning caresharers. Forth, we are excited to announce that we are planning to issue Certificates in AgriBusiness & Service and Servsafe certifications for foodhandling to our moms; Finally, we plan add value to our S2T Enterprise by creating, marketing, and selling a Chocolate-Roma Salsa, a Tomatillo Verde Salsa, a Universal Rub for meats & vegetables, and a Specialty NATASHA House Cookie. This year promises to be miraculous; therefore, you surely will not want to miss out.
