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? - With the market share you can pick out your own vegetables. No more wasted food! - Returning members always get $25 off their Summer CSA share - Nutritious organic produce, the freshness can't be beat - It's a great deal: members save at least 20% off market price - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter sessions offer something for everyone! 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. Members pick up their share at the farm on Tuesdays, 4pm or later. 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 Share not available at Delhi or Irvington farmers' markets Next, look at the dates of each CSA session below to see what works for you. 2020 Dates: SPRING: $100, 5 Weeks, April 25 - May 23 (Market Share) and April 28 - May 26 (Farm Share) SUMMER: $500, 20 Weeks, May 30 - Oct 10 (Market Share) and June 02 - Oct 13 (Farm Share) FALL: $150, 6 Weeks, Oct 17 - Nov 21 (Market Share) and Oct 20 - Nov 24 (Farm Share) WINTER: $400, 20 Weeks (one snow day included), Dec 5 - April 24, 2021 (Oneonta Market Only) 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. |
