Below is a tentative list of locations for this year’s pod sites.  Pods are the community space where shareholders pick up their produce every week.  The following list is based on last year’s pod locations, as well as new member info for this year.  Pod locations and assignments for 2009 will be finalized after the shareholder sign-up deadline of June 1.

Want to be a Pod Leader?

As the place where shareholders pick up their produce every week, pods serve as the community centers of CSA-CNY.  Pod leaders create the space in which shareholders mingle, converse, swap recipes and ideas, and strengthen our connection to our food and community.

Each pod serves as the pick-up site for a minimum of 12 shareholders.  To host a pod at your home or business, you must:

• Have roughly 10’x16’ of covered space for CSA deliveries (a one-car garage, large porch, or other such structure)
• Have on-street parking accessible for shareholders during pick-up
• Have a driveway for the farm’s delivery van to back into
• Be available on Tuesdays or Thursdays June 16-October 29 to assist with farm deliveries and shareholder pick-ups (available hours are between 3:00-7:00; you do not need to be physically present for the duration of that time)

As a pod leader, you will:

• Communicate with shareholders about forgotten pick-ups
• Oversee pod functions
• Act as an ambassador of CSA-CNY
• Receive a working-share discount for your efforts
