How Spiritual Food CSA has grown since 1998:

 ·       From 26 to average 120 share memberships representing over 170 families including those with half shares

·       From half year, to two seasons, to full year, and now many options for participating throughout the year

·       From 1 pick up location to 7 (at the homes of members)

·       From all volunteer (even weekly drives to the farm) to staff of: (1) Manager, (2) Transportation (3) Set up assistance (4) occasional interns

Members still love to help with the chores.  Core volunteers who are not even members come regularly for weekly set up—unofficial staff!

·       From one vegetable farm with a few Biodynamic supplements to now working with an array of biodynamic and organic producers

·       Average 70% renewal rate

·      Average 60-80% of members volunteer

*    In 2013, began packing shares into boxes thus more efficiency and easier at the other pick up sites. 
·       Active online (Mighty Network) chat group for posting recipes, swapping shares, and news

·      Special orders so members can obtain additional foods outside the shares

*      January 2017, 2 new young farmers take over the main farm Kimberton CSA and maintain the Biodynamic certification

*      2018, still averaging 70% renewal rate

* spring 2020, after some years of lower membership due to many other food services opening up, membership jumped back up to 120 shares and over 170 members.
