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 - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter sessions 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. Winter pick up: anytime 11am Fridays through 7pm Saturday. Call when you arrive and we'll fetch your share. MARKET SHARE: Each week members select $30 worth of produce ($25 for Spring and Winter Shares) from our market display at the Delhi, Oneonta, or Irvington farmers' markets. We recommend picking up by 11am for best selection (10:30am for Winter Shares). Spring and Winter shares not available at Delhi or Irvington farmers' markets Next, look at the dates of each CSA session below to see what works for you. 2021 Dates: WINTER '20-'21: $400, 20 weeks, weekend of Dec 4 2020 - weekend of April 16 2021 SPRING: $100, 5 weeks, weekend of April 23 - weekend of May 21 SUMMER: $500, 20 weeks, May 29 - Oct 9 (Market Share) and June 01 - Oct 12 (Farm Share) FALL: $150, 6 weeks, Oct 16 - Nov 20 (Market Share) and Oct 19 - Nov 23 (Farm Share) WINTER: $400, 20 weeks, weekend of Dec 3 2021 - weekend of April 15, 2022 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. |
