UPDATE: We are NO LONGER SIGNING UP FOR 2024 CSA PROGRAM. Our limit has been met. Thanks everyone!!
Our farm is offering farm pickup only at this time. If you would like to signup for our CSA program, see below.
We offer a CSA (community supported agriculture) program (also known as "the program") on our farm. Signup is open for the 2024 growing season for farm pickup only at this time.
Why join a CSA instead of just coming and purchasing your produce on a regular basis? The CSA Program is designed to help the local family farms survive without taking out loans at the beginning of each season. The local family farms are struggling more and more each year and this program allows us to sell shares in the crop ahead of time so that we will have the funds available to plant the crops. The past couple of years have been extremely hard and farmers are just trying to survive. If you become a member of the program as stated above you are purchasing a share of the upcoming crop in advance. The money received in advance for the shares purchased is to be used to help the farm with the initial crop expenses of that season. In exchange for your purchase of a share in advance and becoming a member of the program, you will have the benefit of having first pick of the top quality produce harvested from the farm. You will be given first option of all crops, and can place an order for same. I do not take orders for produce on the farm unless you are a CSA members.
FARM PICKUP:
We have tried several different ways of handling the CSA pickups, and we find that our members prefer to pick out their own veggies and get what they need as they need so we have been handling our farm pickups different the past couple of years. You have till the end of the growing season, which is usually in July, to use the money in your membership account as a credit which has to be used up by the end of the growing season. You can place an order in advance of pickup or come by the farm to purchase what you want. If ordering ahead we ask that you order the morning of pickup by 9 a.m. which is opening time so that I do not miss order and this insures you have what you want waiting for you upon arrival. We are not carrying over balances from season to season, all accounts are zeroed at the end of the season. We suggest picking up on a weekly basis and not waiting so that you can enjoy all produce throughout the season.
All crops are not guaranteed due to Mother Nature, etc. We will do our best to have a large variety of produce available each week. Some of the produce that we hope to have available in 2024 are as follows: Tomatoes, cucumbers, several varieties of squash, eggplant, and peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon, corn, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, greens, radish, onions, potatoes, blackberries, blueberries, figs, etc.
If you are interested in becoming a CSA member, by purchasing a share in the program below, you agree to all the terms and conditions mentioned above.
