Several members have expressed interest in setting up a low-income box fund, so the farm would be able to provide boxes to low-income families or deserving non-profits in Battle Creek. Poor nutrition from cheap, processed foods tend to plague low-income families in America. There will be a box to check and add a donated amount to the final amount due on your CSA Membership Form. Non-members can also make a donation. Whatever money is raised will go towards providing boxes for the families/non-profits.

Nominated families will receive a subsidized share and will be asked to contribute $100 (2, $50 payments) towards the $425 value of their share. The remainder ($325) will be paid through the CSA Farm Fund from generous donors. Therefore, if $1300 is raised, the farm will be able to donate four boxes. The donated boxes will make a huge difference in the health of these families.

If you are interested in making a donation to the CSA Farm Fund, please e-mail the farm at trent@greengardensfarm.com. Or, if you know you want to donate, simply write a check to Green Gardens and write "CSA Farm Fund" in the notes section of the check. Checks can be mailed to the farm at 8319 White Rabbit Road, Battle Creek, MI 49017.
