Why is Luther offering this program?

• Eating more vegetables is proven to improve health and Luther wants to encourage faculty and staff in their wellness goals.
• This program builds community, on campus and off:
• • Brings faculty and staff together over unique food experiences
  • Connects faculty and staff to local producers and the local community
• Luther believes in supporting local producers

Who is eligible to receive the reimbursement

• This program is open to all current Luther College faculty and staff who are working .75 FTE or greater.

When will reimbursements be paid?

• Faculty and staff are responsible for paying the farm of their choice in full and completing the CSA Program Registration form by May 1st. Upon engaging in two food experiences and submitting a receipt to Maren Stumme-Diers, faculty and staff will be eligible for reimbursement.  Reimbursements will be paid on or before September 1st.

What if I'm out of town and unavailable to pick up my share?

• You can find a friend to pick it up for you that week. The friend can either use the vegetables or save them for you until your return.
• Some CSAs offer the option of donating your box to the food pantry that week.  Food Pantry customers are always happy to receive fresh produce.

Can I split my CSA share with someone else?

• You are more than welcome to split your CSA share with someone else if you are worried about not being able to use all the produce yourself. It will be up to you to figure out how to make that sharing happen.

How many people can participate?

• In 2013 Luther has funds to support reimbursements for the first 100 faculty and staff that sign-up.
