What day can we pick up our share?
You will be given a day of either Thursday or Friday from 2- 6:00 pm. Please stick to your day.

Can I have someone else pick up my share if I’m not available?
Of Course, anyone can pick up on your behalf just let them know to sign off under your name.

Will pick up times be available after work hours?
Yes, pick ups will be open until 6:00pm

Are you organic?
Yes, but not certified. We always grow everything according to organic practices.

Can I split a share with my friends, or can we go in on one?
Yes. We ask that one check is sent and one primary contact person is responsible for the share. Anyone can come to pick it up. You are responsible for dividing it up for your group. No special arrangements on pick ups for divided shares. Splitting between more than 2 groups is not recommended on a full share. Splitting a half share is not recommended.

What’s the difference between a full & half share?
A full share is designed for a family of 4 or a vegetarian family of 2.
A half share is designed for 2 people.

How much food is in a share?
A full share is designed to be approximately 8 items, sometimes more in the peak of the growing season. Sometimes a bit less in the slow season, yet we strive & work hard to provide 8 items for you each week.

What’s an item?
An item is designed to be similar to a reasonable purchased portion. I.E. an item can be a head of lettuce, a bag of spinach or arugula, a cabbage, a bunch of carrots, a bunch of beets, a bunch of chard, a portion of tomatoes,  a portion of peppers, a portion of squash, eggplant, broccoli, a melon, a hard squash, a bunch of basil, collards, kale etc.

Is there still a pick up in rainy weather?
Yes CSA pick up days are rain or shine. If the produce stand is not open due to bad weather or other circumstances please drive into the farm, we will have other arrangements.

What if I have an emergency or an unusual circumstance, & can’t make it?
No problem, please let us know as we are happy to be flexable from time to time, we understand busy schedules, emergencies, vacations, etc. We want you to get your food!

When picking up my share, will I have the option to purchase other items?Most likely, as your pick up will be at our produce stand.

Can I trade my items for different produce from the stand?
No. Your CSA is designated by the farm each week, you are the top priority and all produce is accounted for to satisfy all our members.

What is a CSA? (Community Supported Agriculture)

The concept of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is simple. Each shareholder, as a member of the farm community, buys a "share in the harvest." This fee supports the running costs of the farm. In return, the farm supplies a weekly share of produce.

Community Supported Agriculture is a partnership between farmers and local consumers to help ensure fresh produce grown locally is provided locally. Members of a CSA pay a fee to a local farmer at the beginning of the season for a "share" of the produce, which is picked up at the farm. A share can consist of fresh veggies, fruits, flowers, eggs, & meat.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a model of agriculture that fosters a direct relationship between the farmer and the community.

Thanks for your support!!
