Our CSA Model
Our CSA Model
The traditional CSA is setup so that the consumer shares in the “risk/reward” along with the farmer. For example, if there is a hailstorm and half of the produce for that week is ruined the consumer will only receive half of the items. However, in our CSA model we have eliminated that risk for you, the consumer. For example, if we have a hailstorm and half our produce is ruined, we will work together with other local farmers (who share the same growing practices as us) to ensure that you still receive the guaranteed amount of items in your CSA box.
Share Sizes
We have two share sizes available through our CSA, as well as two delivery frequencies.
Half share (weekly or bi-weekly): You will receive between 4 and 7 items each time guaranteed! This share size is suitable for couples, and families with small children. Half shares are available in the spring, summer, and fall seasons. The spring share is only available in this size due to most vegetables coming from the greenhouse. Choose to receive your share every week or every other week.
Full share (weekly or bi-weekly): You will receive between 8 and 12 items each time guaranteed! This share size is suitable for larger families, families with some grown children, vegetarians, and those who like to preserve part of the harvest. Full shares are available for the summer and fall season. Choose to receive your share every week or every other week.
