Jan McL Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 OK, here's a project six steps up from the, "Will work for Subway Tuna sandwiches," paradigm. http://poplarwoodfarm.com/csa.html I quoted two wireless, double-system sound, and my Mino HD Flip camera at $1500/day for 2 days' shooting and one day of editing for his 2-3 minute Kickstarter pitch toward a new pole barn. He and I figure one day (10/1 or 10/2) shooting at his farm in Port Murray, NJ: He and another (his wife?) talking about the project as they work in the greenhouse. This will (in theory) provide all the pitch-related talking A few (2-4) CSA shareholders will stop by to provide testimonial sound bytes B-roll of a couple fields and some field work And one day b-rolling their Farmers' Market Operation in Hoboken (9/15 is the date he suggested, but they're there Saturdays 9-2). He also does markets in Jersey City (Wednesdays 3-7) and Long Valley (Thursdays 2-7) I figure this day could be done with just the camera and sticking very close to people talking, if any. His shares for 20-23 weeks are $800-$1000. He's also got free-run eggs that may be bartered, but he's set no value on that. We agreed he could take 50 tobacco plants from seedling to harvest as part of the barter, which simply means you can get creative. I can't do the 9/15 date for sure. Thought maybe someone in NNJ might be interested in the whole job or doing the 9/15 date for 1.5 shares that may (I'm guessing) be gifted if you don't live close enough but have loved ones who do... Does this seem fair? Interesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHall Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Bartering for CSA is thumbs-up in my opinion. Puts food on the table, and makes a friend of a farmer. If I was anywhere near NJ, I'd pick this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Campbell Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 CSA's are fantastic and they seem to doing a fair barter. Eat good food and your body will love you. I'm on the other coast but if this were local I'd be on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvd Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hey Jan, I live right around the corner from the Jersey City farmers market -- happy to help in any way I can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McL Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Have gotten three responses and think this will be an envelope-pushing fun thing, particularly if you live locally and can make use of a CSA share. It's all moving forward nicely One fellow thought $1500/day was too much, LOL. There ya go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 At first I thought this was the Confederate States of America? I think they mean "Community Supported Agriculture." (I don't get out much.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
