Sign up for your Meat/Dairy delivery!!!

Our first veggie delivery on May 31 is finally here! Following that is our monthly delivery of meat/ dairy from the CSA Pastures co-op (Lewis Waite Farm and others)! Ordering your meat/ dairy is a different process than just showing up for your vegetables. You must pre-order (by phone, fax or online) and drops will be made once a month to our distribution site. A few days before your order is delivered you will receive a final bill. Once you have this you can pay online by PayPal, or bring a check to the distribution site and they will all get mailed together.

First, register for CSA Pastures and create a personal profile. Go to our secure page, www.astoriacsa.com/members.php, to receive password information on how to sign up and get into the CSA Pasture site. You must complete this step to place orders.

Because of our overwhelming numbers we are asking ONLY main shareholders (not everyone on a split share) to register for the meat/ dairy for now. We are unsure of how we will manage to handout 260+ orders in 2.5 hours and would like to keep things simple with 100 orders for now. We ask split shareholders to order through their main holder. This may change in the future, just please give us 1 or 2 distributions to figure things out.

Please note that if you go to the main CSAPastures site you can still view all the goodies we have to offer.

Once you have the password information you can enter the site, create a personal account (used to sign up in the future) and then you can place an order, see an order, see our delivery schedule, browse, edit, send a message, etc.

NOTE: Once you have an account, navigating CSA Pastures is not always so straightforward. Once you are in the “Place an Order” section there is a drop down “Select a Product” with headings for various items (Beef, Grass-Fed, Grass Finishes; Cheese, Cow’s Milk (Raw); etc). Use this drop down to choose product categories and THEN navigate the pages by the small page number buttons at the top and bottom right corners of the product table.

Our drop schedule from CSA Pastures: (orders must be finalized a few days before the drop day as noted on the site)
June 21 – the third Thursday of the month
July 12 – the second Thursday of the month
August 9 – the second Thursday of the month
September 13 – the second Thursday of the month
October 11 – the second Thursday of the month
November 15 – the Thursday before Thanksgiving
