Community Supported Agriculture
Become a Friend of the Farm
Support the farm and our mission to address local food insecurity with sustainable agriculture
Join our CSA Community
Without the commitment of a weekly harvest box
We know that summer holidays, changing work schedules, and specific dietary preferences mean that the traditional CSA model of weekly Harvest Baskets does not work for everyone. So we’re introducing a new type of CSA (Community Supported Agriculture.)
This year we are piloting a new program: Friend of the Farm. This program allows you to support the Farm and our work by paying for your veggies up front, but you get to pick which veggies and when you want them. Like a traditional CSA, you become a Friend of the Farm in the winter or spring, to provide the farm with start-up income before the market season begins. Our Friend of the Farm program is flexible with five levels - $250, $350, $450, $550, $650 – depending on your veggie purchasing needs.
How it Works
You pick your share size and receive an e-card pre-loaded with your purchased amount, plus your Early Bird bonus. This card can then be used at our farm stand, at the various markets we participate in, and at our online store, allowing you to purchase any available produce of your choosing in the quantities you prefer.
Using Your Card
-
There are multiple ways to use your card:
-
Save your e-gift card number and show it to us at the farmstand/market for us to manually enter
-
Attach your email and/or phone number to the card and tell us at the Farmstand or market for us to look up your card on file.
