Sisters of the Soil offer a single share size suited to two persons. Anyone wishing to obtain a greater amount of produce may buy additional shares at the same price. Until January 31, 2009, the price to receive a two-person share for approximately twenty-two weeks is $225.00. In order to create the necessary incentive for early purchasing of shares that will enable the Sisters to adequately plan and pay upfront costs for the coming season, there will be a price increase after that to $250.00 each. Please remember to add 6% sales tax.

There is a one-time (life-time) membership fee of $100.00. Additionally, we have Workshare memberships available in 2009. Anyone participating in the workshare program is also required to purchase the one-time farm membership ($100). The farm board uses membership funds for improvements and ongoing maintenance of the farm, infrastructure such as irrigation piping, insurance on the Gator, as well as supporting/providing learning opportunities. The farm membership fee is not connected to CSA productions costs.

Hidden Springs Community Farm, Inc. -- continuing a 145-year tradition of farming in Idaho's Dry Creek Valley, we grow vegetables on 5 to 10 acres along Dry Creek with our long-term hope of expanding to 26 acres. An integral part of our farm has been our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) operation. A CSA is a community of individuals who support a farm, with the farmers and consumers sharing both the risks and benefits of food production. We are organically grown since 1996 and certified organic in 2007. We have been open to residents outside of Hidden Springs, also serving the Dry Creek Valley, Eagle and greater Boise. Our community barn is situated in the historically agricultural Dry Creek Valley and adjacent to the Dry Creek Farmstead founded by the Schick Family in 1864.

We produce certified organic vegetables, herbs and flowers for 100 shareholders and we also have a 350-tree orchard.
