Thanks and welcome to my first attempt at a co-op fruit order!
If you found this link on facebook and want to know what it is: know that I've taken over a previously closed e-mail list of friends who ordered fruit together. Read more about that here.
I have chosen to ALLOW 1/4 and 1/2 box orders, so if you've already collected orders from friends, please submit their orders separately if you can so we have a clear idea of exactly how many people are represented by this list.
This order will include
- early peaches (almost, but not quite freestone)
- early golden plums (small but sweet from the heat!)
- apricots (limited supply, divvied up by lottery)
As with Wendy Luella, neither of us could/can do this alone without your help. I've imagined a "co-op" system with tasks divvied up into 4-5-hour units of work, reimbursable to each volunteer for each "shift" at $60 per task. This time around, I am going to be a part of all the tasks, but would love to have a team available to share the responsibility going forward.
With the charges laid out in the form, at a minimum order of 48 total boxes (the size of the last order), this should break even with everyone receiving some fruit and/or cash for their time making this happen. Please indicate on the order form below which, if any, roles you would like to volunteer for.
If the order is too small for me to compensate everyone the full $60, I hope you'll understand that this is an experimental dry-run....but if we get lots of 1/2 and 1/4 box orders, all the volunteers may choose to be compensated more, or we may choose to donate any excess, or create a "truck rental fund" for future orders.
Thanks and looking forward to full pantries and freezers!
