The following serves as the sole, legal and binding agreement between BlueTrane Group, LLC, doing business as BlueTrane Heritage Farm (“BTHF”) and owned by Daniel J & Marjorie S Uhlar, hereinafter called the “Producers”, and the “Member” (identified via submission of the above information along with full payment or via information collected along with payment by Paypal).
16530 County Road 102; Elbert, CO 80106 is the legal address of BlueTrane Group, LLC as well as the operational address of BTHF. Business voice and text: (303) 552-6538.
The BlueTrane Heritage Farm (BTHF) is cooperating with One 2 Grow On Farm (Elizabeth, Colorado) in fulfilling this year’s shares. One 2 Grow On Farm is committed to the same pesticide and herbicide free principles as the Producers. This relationship will aid in buffering anyenvironmental or production issues that may be encountered during the year.
2. Support for CSA
One of our primary goals in selling CSA shares is to connect the Member with the source and production of their food. In recognition of the variability of natural production systems the Member and Producers accept that produce availability as to the type and quantity will be reflected in the share composition and will vary throughout the growing season. No pesticides or herbicides will be used in the growth and production of BTHF products.
3. Purchase of a BTHF CSA Share, terms and termination
To complete the subscription process the subscribing member will make an online purchase via the Paypal links on the CSA page or will provide all requested information above, copy and submit the information along with payment as follows.
NOTE: if subscribing and paying via Paypal there is NO NEED to mail the above information to BTHF as the Paypal information will be sufficient.
Checks are to be made payable to BlueTrane Group, LLC and mailed along with the requested information to: BlueTrane Heritage Farm; P.O. Box 1046; Kiowa, CO 80117.
Shares will be for 20 weeks occurring approximately between June 1 and the second week of October. Depending upon environmental conditions, bonus distributions may begin before June 1st and extend beyond mid-October. The bonus distributions, of course, cannot be guaranteed. Half and Full Vegetable distributions will consist primarily of heirloom vegetable varieties as well as other products produced by BTHF.
The nature and quality of each share will change from week to week. Because of the many factors and
uncertainties that affect vegetable growth, the Member understands that there is no guarantee with regard to the makeup of each week’s share distribution. BTHF will use its best judgement in the equitable allocation of product between Members. Egg shares will be distributed from free-range, heritage poultry breeds fed non-GMO, organic diets. The mix of size and egg color cannot be guaranteed as it is wholly dependent upon the weekly productivity of each poultry breed.
Fees, payable in one (1) installment, are as indicated on the CSA page.
4. Preparations for the Growing Season
BlueTrane Heritage Farm owns and manages its own growing space on 82 acres in Elbert County, Colorado. We have fertilized and prepared the land for growing, including soil testing, tilling, shaping and protecting the space with deer and rabbit fencing. During the growing season BTHF will engage in watering, weeding, fertilizing, harvesting and other activities designed to produce a healthy vegetable crop for the Members.
5. Member Commitment
Due to the remote location of BlueTrane Heritage Farm, Members are not expected to participate in production, harvesting or
administration of the CSA.
Member agrees to be available to pick up their share at the agreed upon day, location and time. BTHF will attempt to accommodate emergency changes in the day, location and time if notified at least 3 days in advance. No guarantee is made with regard to making such an accommodation. The Member understands that their share may be forfeited if notice of distribution change is not received and agreed to by BTHF or that they fail to pick up their share as scheduled.
6. Joint efforts and actions
BlueTrane Heritage Farm agrees to maintain regular communication with members via email, phone, its website and Facebook page. Communication will include, but is not limited to, production status, varieties reaching maturity, recipes, storage and preservation suggestions and information related to the Member shares.
7. Activities on property, assumption of risk and indemnification
The Member agrees to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS BlueTrane Heritage Farm, including its officers, employees, agents, and representatives from any and all claims, actions, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities, including attorney’s fees that might be incurred as a result of the Member’s participation in the BlueTrane Heritage Farm CSA.
8. Additional legal issues and provisions, informed decision
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREON. IF ANY PIECE OF THIS AGREEMENT IS DEEMED TO BE INVALID, THE REMAINDER OF THIS AGREEMENT REMAINS VALID AND IN FORCE. SUBSCRIBING VIA PAYPAL IMPLIES COMPLETE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
