CSA FAQ
Getting to know your farmer again.
WHEN DO THE VEGGIE BOXES BEGIN?
In 2024, we start the first week of June. This will continue for 20 weeks.
SHOULD I GET A “FULL SHARE” OR “HALF SHARE”?
For family’s larger than two, we recommend getting the full share veggie box. The majority of our customers use this size. If you use a lot of vegetables or you like to store things away for the winter, then choose the large box. The full share box is more than twice the amount of veggies as the half share box.
DO I GET TO PICK OUT WHAT I WANT EACH WEEK FOR MY BOX?
Yes and no. The box is pre-packed for you at our farm. This usually consists of 6-10 items that you would consider staples. After you claim your box, you then have the chance to purchase additional items . We will also make adjustments based on allergies you may have. Within reason we will attempt to make minor adjustments to your box week to week based on your preferences of veggies.
WHAT IS GOING TO BE IN MY BOX EACH WEEK?
We spend much time in the winter planning our season . We want you to have staple vegetables all summer long ! Our plans are not 100% accurate since we can’t “force” Mother Nature to have exactly what we want on a set date. But it gives us a rough idea of when certain veggies are going to be ready, and how often we hope to give you them.
IS EVERYTHING IN MY VEGGIE BOX CERTIFIED ORGANIC?
No, But we use organic practices that go beyond the organic certification requirements . That said, we are working towards future organic certification .
We take pride that we grow for you using sustainable , and regenerative practices . That means NO CHEMICAL OR SYNTHETIC FERTILIZER OR PESTICIDES ! and NO GMO !
Our goal as farmers is to leave the land and soil better off for future generations.
WHAT IF I MISS A WEEK?
If you are unable to pick up your share, please give us as much advance notice as possible—ideally, at least 24 hours. You then have the following options:
You may pick up a "double share" the preceding or following week; however, members often find that they cannot use all of the vegetables
We will donate to a family in need , or to a local food bank such as Second Harvest.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE VEGGIES YOU GIVE ME?
We will provide a recipe each week with your box, and post recipes on the website . We understand sometimes its hard to cook with new vegetables, but that is also part of the fun, and we are here to help !
