What is Community Supported Agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a system in which consumers become shareholders of a local farm to share its risks and rewards. Our CSA members are the backbone of our farm. By paying up front, members get us growing in the Spring and their enthusiasm sustains us throughout the season. In return, we share the bounty of our harvest. What are the benefits of our CSA? - Reducing person-to-person contact lowers your exposure to COVID-19 - Healthy food makes a healthy immune system - With the market share you can pick out your own vegetables. - Returning members always get $25 off their Summer CSA share - Nutritious organic produce, the freshness can't be beat - Save Money: members save at least 20% off market price - Fresh produce year round! How do I sign up? First, choose if you would like to pick up a box of vegetables at the farm or select your own vegetables at our farmers' market booth. FARM SHARE: Each week we harvest the best, most abundant produce and put together a box of 7-11 items. The selection of vegetables changes throughout the season. Pick up on Tuesdays 4pm or after. Only Spring and Summer CSA available at the farm. MARKET SHARE: Each week members choose their own produce ($30 worth for the Summer share, $25 for Winter share) from our market display at the Delhi, Oneonta, or Pakatakan farmers' markets. We recommend picking up by 11am for best selection (10:30am for Winter Shares). Winter shares not available at Delhi or Pakatakan farmers' markets Next, look at the dates of each CSA session below to see what works for you. 2021-2022 Dates: FARM SHARE: SPRING: $90, 4 weeks, Tuesdays May 3 - May 24 SUMMER: $650, 26 weeks, May 31 - Nov 22 MARKET SHARE: WINTER: $575, 24 weeks, Dec 4 2021 - May 21, 2022 SUMMER: $650, 26 weeks, May 28 - Nov 19 Then, sign up at our online store and email us with any questions. If the session has already started, please email us so we can prorate your membership cost. WHAT IF I MISS A PICK-UP? There are a few options: 1. If MARKET SHARE members know in advance that they will miss a pick-up, they may select 1.5 shares worth of produce the weeks before and after their missed pick-up. 2. If members know in advance that they will miss a pick-up, they can have a friend pick up their share. In our experience, friends find this really fun! 3. If FARM SHARE members miss a pick up unexpectedly, their share will be available to them in our cooler for 48 hours. 4. Unfortunately, we are unable to personally deliver to members who miss their pick-ups. If the above options are not feasible, another solution may be arranged at our discretion. |
