Welcome to a membership in Lightfield Acres, LLC. We are excited to have you join us. You are a valuable, integral part of our community. Lightfield Acres is built on a foundation of commitment—to the land, to our animals, and to each other. That commitment is reflected in everything we do, including signing up new members.

This agreement represents our commitment to you. We will work hard to bring you the best and most delicious produce possible. We want you, and your family, to enjoy good eating by having a connection to the source of your food. In return, we need you to commit to us.

Please take a few minutes to carefully read through this agreement as it will help us lay the groundwork for our future together.

Shared risk and reward is the heart of the traditional CSA model. By joining our farm, you are becoming a part of our agricultural community. Together, we agree to share in the risk and reward of farming. If the year is especially abundant, you will receive product of exceptional quality and size. If the year is a difficult one with difficult pest, disease, and weather pressures, you may receive fewer items or items of lesser quality.

1. I understand that my purchase is eligible for a refund only if I move out of the area or if I experience a personal/financial hardship. Refunds will be prorated. I understand that refunds for reasons of personal preference will impose a hardship on Lightfield Acres who has already incurred time and expenses on my behalf.

2. If I wish to cancel for personal preference reasons, I agree to try and recruit a replacement member. Lightfield Acres will grant refund requests for personal reasons on a discretionary basis.

3. I understand that my purchase indicates agreement with some shared risk. If, due to weather, insects, or other event beyond the farm’s control, total share volume will be reduced by half or more over the remainder of the season. I agree that if uncontrollable events reduce the total volume of the produce I would otherwise receive by up to 50%, that I will share in this loss.

4. I understand that if the season is especially abundant, I may be given the opportunity to pick certain excess products myself. I know that this offering will be made on specific dates and times, as announced by Lightfield Acres via email, and that accommodations for specific schedules cannot be made.

5. I understand that I must pick up my CSA share at Lightfield Acres, 11535 W. Floating Feather Rd, Star, ID on the day and time chosen below, and that if I do not do so, my share may be donated to a local food pantry. I can have a friend pick up my items for me, if needed, with prior notification via email or text message.

6. I understand that important communications from the farm will be delivered via email and that opening these emails is my responsibility.

7. I understand that it is my responsibility to wash and store all items I receive properly (eggs need refrigerated as do most produce items). Failure to do so may result in illness. Bouquets are non-edible.

Shares will be open for purchase March 1st each season. No orders will be accepted prior to March 1st, unless otherwise stated.
