What if I live locally and want to buy your preserves but don't want to become a member?
Old Sleningford Preserves isn't a retail outlet and therefore it won't be possible to just pop in for a jar of jam. However, the preserves are for sale to visitors to the farm when they come on pre-arranged visits or courses for example.
I don't live locally but would like to become a member
The ethos of a CSA is that local people support a local producer and therefore non-local people can't become members. However, if they visit the farm on a pre-arranged visit or course for example, they will be able to buy them then.
