2015 CSA Crop Share Full Year Program
We continue to offer a year-round CSA program, using our root cellar and high tunnels to extend the season. New last year was a hydroponic system used to grow lettuce during the winter.
Our CSA program is divided into 4 seasons, with pro-rated, anytime signup. Eggs are now optional, you can add them to your share in any amount desired. We have an online system where members signup for seasons, track their payments, credits and status. Members may make full or partial payments. Seasons close when they fill up, so sign up sooner than later.
CSA, as you know, stands for “Community Supported Agriculture”, which is a way to support local farmers with an extended commitment. You buy a subscription to a “crop share”, and every week you receive a share of whatever fruits and vegetables are being harvested that week. It’s a great way to get a regular supply of super fresh produce, priority on limited items, and a chance to try new things that you might not buy at the store. Obviously, during the winter months, if available, produce will be more limited to greens and stored vegetables.
This is our 13th year selling at farmers markets, and our 8th year offering CSA shares. Our program operates all year. Pickup is at the Buffalo or Maple Grove Farmers Markets, at our farm, and we offer delivery to your home or business in selected areas.
We offer a full share, which at peak season is about a bushel of produce, and we offer a half share for those that want to start smaller. Egg shares can be added as desired in half share increments and an Egg Only CSA option is also available. An egg share is 1 dozen eggs per week. A full share is typically a good fit for a family of four, or for two people who eat a lot of vegetables.
Members may subscribe at any time. If starting, mid-season, the payment is pro-rated by the number of weeks remaining in the season. If you let us know in advance, you get credit if unable to pickup – vacations or other reasons. You may suspend your subscription for longer periods. And, of course, you may end your subscription at any time.
