What is a CSA?

Community-Supported Agriculture is a model in which consumers purchase a membership to a farm which entitles them to a weekly portion of that farm's harvest during the height of the growing season. The membership fee is paid before each growing season starts, providing the farm funds to purchase the inputs needed to start their season such a seeds, soil, fertilizers, etc. This membership allows the producer and consumer to share the some of the risk of farming, creating more stability and sustainability for the farm.

When does the CSA begin & How long is the CSA?

The Summer Veggie CSA is a 15 week share that starts mid to late June each summer. CSA members will be notified of the start date each season and will receive reminders as the first pick-up approaches.

Are the vegetables in my csa organic?

Yes, our farm is certified organic by MOFGA. Occasionally we purchase vegetables or fruit from farms in our area in order to offer special veggies or fruit to the CSA, and most of these farms are certified organic. There is a small chance that we will offer an item that is not certified organic. The vegetables that you receive in your CSA will be organic, unless announced ahead of time.

What happens if we can’t make it to a csa pick-up?

It is very important that you show up to collect your shares at your chosen location, during our pick-up hours. We can only provide your share on the day that you signed up for, and we cannot replace shares that are not picked up. You may send a friend to pick up your share for you, just have them give your name at pickup.
