Please print this document for your records
Thank you for becoming a CSA shareholder of Seabreeze Organic Farm. We have been growing vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers and eggs for San Diegans since 1988. The vast majority of your weekly delivery will have been grown here at Seabreeze. We hope you will enjoy and benefit from our efforts.
- Please note that by the end of your 4-week trial, your account will be charged for the next billing period unless we hear otherwise from you. If your trial ends in the middle of the month, your payment will include the remaining week or two in the month plus the full next month. If this is a financial hardship on your then please contact us to make other arrangements. For the following billing we will contact you for your credit card confirmation.
- Planning and planting in advance are key elements for the continuance of the farm. Like any small business, reliable income is necessary to insure we keep going. If you need to cancel a delivery week, we ask you donate your share or arrange to have someone else pick it up at your delivery point. If we arrange a destination change, an additional fee of $7.50 will be added to cover time costs.
- For sanitation reasons, please do not return paper or plastic bags. Please recycle them.
- Although infrequently necessary, a $20.00 fee will be charged for all returned checks.
- We realize people have a variety of cooking and eating customs. The types of fruits and vegetables we grow are selected by our growing region, seasonality, diversity, nutritional value and popularity. Some weeks you might love everything and some weeks you might be challenged. If you want substitutions, we will accommodate you. However, please understand this takes extra time and attention and a handling fee will be necessary.
- There are many many insects and animals (both day and night) that want to eat our produce before it gets to you! We use no chemicals or sprays of any kind – rather we depend on growing techniques, taking certain losses, and keeping a keen eye out. Our quality is quite good, however, sometimes when packing we miss a reject. If you have any problems or concerns or suggestions, please let us know. We grow for you.
- One of the objectives of our business is to assist you in convenience and saving time. Selections from the Green Store or the Choose Your Own section are easy to add to your weekly bag without additional handling fees and it helps the farm too. For example our coffee is organic, shade-grown, trade fair and locally roasted. We appreciate the extra support.

That's just about the gist of it. By your choosing to eat locally grown, you are self-assuring a safe, fresh, and nutritional food supply. Happy cooking and thank you again for choosing Seabreeze.
