These\u00a0bountiful shares are designed to feed a family of four, or two prolific veggie lovers. The investment is just $755 for the entire summer, equaling $1.35 per person per day for a family of four. This fee serves double duty by paying for\u00a0experiential agricultural education for undergraduates as well as\u00a0the training of new farmers at\u00a0MSU SOF. The program begins on June 15 and will commence on October 26.\u00a0Summer Harvest Share pick up is on Mondays from 4:30\u00a0p.m. to\u00a06:30 p.m. at the Student Organic Farm located at 3291 College Rd.,\u00a0just south of Jolly.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of the CSA program are truly innumerable. Reap the following rewards with your membership:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Convenient\u00a0access to eight to 12 delicious organic produce items from the farm for 20 weeks! You won&#8217;t find fresher, healthier\u00a0or easier elsewhere.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0peace of mind of knowing your farm and farmer.<\/li>\n<li>Access to the CSA U-Pick Garden.<\/li>\n<li>The knowledge that your money will support Michigan&#8217;s\u00a0next generation of organic farmers and passionate students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information and to join the program, please email <a href=\"mailto:msufarm@msu.edu\">msufarm@msu.edu<\/a> or call 517-230-7987 for details and membership documents.
