WHAT SIZE SHARE SHOULD I GET? A small share is suited for a single person; A medium share suits a single person who eats a lot of veggies, a couple, or family of 3 to 4; A large share is suited for a couple that cooks nightly and brings leftovers to works for lunch, a family, or a single person who eats a lot of vegetables and likes to preserve a bit.  If you follow the recommended daily vegetable intake, 1 person should eat 6 to 8 items PER WEEK.  Thus, a small share is great for 1 person.

HOW THE CSA WORKS:
We grow food and you eat! ​ The perfect relationship!  You sign up for a CSA and are guaranteed a share of our harvest specific to your share size and season length.   We plan our yields and planting schedules to ensure an abundance of vegetables for you to choose from.  Weekly newsletters go out on Monday morning with the vegetables for the week, a note from the farmer, recipes, and ordering guidelines and information.  You can read more about how the ordering system works CLICK HERE.  The online CSA "store" is your place where you place your CSA share order.  The link to order is the same each week, but will be provided in the weekly newsletter.  There are ordering deadlines, which are 24 to 48 hours before your pick up day.  If you forget to order, you will get a carefully curated "default" box with a great variety of veggies.  With the online CSA system you have an account which you manage your payments, schedule vacations (you can schedule a make-up week, so you never "loose" a CSA share!), and update contact information.

CSA SHARE PICK UPS:
Pick ups are quick and easy.  For on-farm pick ups your CSA share will be pre-packed in our crates (since you already placed your CSA order!) and you simply come, find your labeled crate (which are alphabetized by last name), and empty your share into your own re-usable bag.  You can't take our crates with you so please remember your bag.  Off-farm pick ups are similar.  Off-farm shares are packed in wax boxes (please be careful with them).  You can empty the box into your own bag or take the box with you and bring it back the following week.  For a list of pick up days and locations CLICK HERE.

PICK YOUR OWN:
We so excited to have members pick flowers, strawberries, peas, and herbs.
The Pick Your Own is open weekly for members during the summer months.  It starts with strawberries and peas (which count as items towards your weekly share) and soon comes cherry tomatoes and green beans.  We grow a variety of flowers and herbs which are a "free item" at one bunch each per week.  The U-pick flowers are a big hit!  

Custom, pre-packed CSA shares: ​

• We offer you pre-packed, custom CSA shares. This will prevent various members from handling the produce if they were to pick it out "market style."  The online CSA software will have the produce that is available for each week and then you place your order for your items. 

The, pre-ordered, customizable CSA system is awesome!

• Less food waste. There will be less waste because we will harvest exactly what we need for each CSA member. 
• Less plastic waste. Shares will be put out in sanitized crates and we are asking members to transfer their goods into their own reusable bags.
• Customizable Shares! You get to pick your vegetables from our extensive list. 
• Schedule Vacations. If you are going to miss a week, you can schedule a vacation. There is no limit to the amount of vacations to schedule, you still get flexibility.  
• All your CSA data in one place!  Log-in to your CSA share account and make payments easily and manage your share.
