Our Fall CSF - Community Supported Fisheries


Community Supported Fisheries for Akiwenzie’s Fish & More…

Well, the first CSF (community supported fisheries) that we did in the Spring worked!!!  We will tweak it just a bit and hopefully it will work and work even better this time around. 

How the CSF helps us:  It helps to maintain our old nets and keep up on purchasing new nets when our old ones are damaged by algae or just the day to day handling, which happens a lot.  Also, the CSF helps with supplies, fuel and other business expenses. 

What it does for you:  We will give you an extra $5.00 to spend at our table. 

We also appreciate your help in keeping us in business and allowing us to continue doing what we love to do. 

This time around we are going to give you cards that we will stamp or initial when you spend so much at our table.  The boxes will be marked off in a dollar segments like this:

I will be doing every share into $100 segments.  There is no limit to how many shares you buy but it will only be valid from October 3, 2013 to December 21, 2013 which is 12 weeks.  Again, the finishing deadline will be flexible but with the winter moving in during this time we may not make it to every market.  With this season we are dealing with more weather related challenges.  The November winds and snow/ice makes this season always more interesting.  We will try to keep you up to date on our Face Book page or twitter or our blog.  You can also always e-mail us to put something aside for you or to find out what we have caught. 

What the CSF can be used towards:  fresh or frozen fish, smoked fish, smoked fish pate, caviar, 10lbs of fish for your freezer and also whole fish.  We ask for a couple of days of notice with the whole fish so we know to keep one aside and not process it completely.  We also need to know about the 10lbs. boxes of fish a little ahead of time to remember to bring it with us. 

On the attached form please fill it out with your name and telephone or e-mail so we can contact you if need be.   Thank you again for your support of our fishing business.  - - - Andrew & Natasha Akiwenzie
