CSA – Fractional Membership

Description

As a fractional member, everything works like the full membership EXCEPT, each fractional member account is comprised of a group of individuals who share a full membership. As an example, one member of the group might want to manage the produce allocation while another only wants to manage the beef allocation.

Therefore, as a full member, based on our annual pre-planning survey, we will allocate and reserve a fixed percentage of total production from all farming and ranching operations for each full member account which is then an aggregate total for the fractional members.. We expect to allocate 50% of the total production of the farm to fulfillment for full members. Full members will have the choice of how to receive their allocations from beef and produce by designating the interval of allocation (weekly, monthly or quarterly) and by designating the percent distribution of the full allocation to each of the following: 1) Personal consumption, 2) Farmer’s Market inventory, and 3) local food bank or equivalents.
