How does CSA work?  What does it entail?

§ June through October pick up a weekly share of fresh vegetables and/or eggs at set location.

§ Shares will consist of fresh produce in season, grown organically without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.  All seeds and plants on our farm are non-GMO, and most are heirloom or open pollinated.

§ Receive a weekly newsletter to keep abreast of what we do on the farm, share new recipe ideas and notes from your farmers.

§ Share the rewards and the risks of food production with your farmers.  Learn what is involved in producing the food your family eats.

Shares

Every week we will provide members with a diverse assortment of vegetables and herbs.  The nature of a CSA involves some uncertainty.  We can’t tell you exactly what to expect week to week, but that’s part of the excitement!  If you aren’t sure what to do with something in your share, please ask us!

For detailed descriptions of the contents of each week’s shares, please look at our brochure and our archived farm notes from each week during the season.


Share Size

Because we’ve had so many requests for it, we are returning to a two-size share system.  Large shares work well for families who like to cook at home; it is our goal is to provide a small family – two or three people – with at least enough produce for five meals with two vegetable items per meal.  Of course, this is an approximation, as we can’t know how your family cooks and eats.  Small shares are good for families who want to supplement a garden, single people, or couples who don’t cook every meal at home.  * Small shares will not necessarily get every item that the large shares get each week.  Quantities and variety will vary throughout the season and are dictated by weather conditions. 

 

Pickup Locations

Currently, we have pickups at the farm in New Baltimore on Tuesday afternoons, at Honest Weight Food Coop on Thursday afternoons, and at the farm (and our home) in Greenville on Saturday mornings.  We are interested in adding additional locations and times, so please approach us if you think your neighborhood or workplace would be open to having a weekly pickup!


Pricing

Full season shares are $525 for Large Size and $300 for Small.  The season begins the second week of June and lasts through at least the end of October.
