Just six shares available to new members at Dupont

Well this was a surprise!  Returning members have purchased 67 of 73 available shares for pick-up at Dupont.  That's the highest in my memory.  At the farm we filled 109 of the 177 available shares.  So we had a 70% retention rate among our members.  That's the good news.  

The bad news is that the 798 people (!) who have inquired about purchasing shares this year as new members have a very small chance of success.  Only 9% of interested customers will be able to purchase shares. 

We will sell these shares to the first people who sign up at 10:00am on March 3rd at the following web site: www.cbf.org/clagettsignup. 

Now let's find some more farmers out there to serve these customers!  Clearly we need more CSAs serving the DC area.
