CSA Programs

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) provides not only a generous supply of organically grown produce each week to members, but it also creates educational opportunities for people to learn about their seasonal food, connect with their farm, and actively build connections in their community food system. Memberships are paid from winter to spring, providing the needed capital to start farming each season. Members then visit their farm each week throughout summer and fall to pick up a share of the harvest.

CSA programs are designed for folks who live in the surrounding neighborhoods of the farm: pickup is on a weekday evening after work, and many members enjoy walking/biking to the farm.  The whole family is encouraged to attend to learn about seasonal availability of produce, participate in cooking demonstrations, pick your own flowers and herbs, and share in the weekly changes that take place on the farm throughout the season.

Curious to know more? Check out our Frequently Asked Questions section at the bottom of this page.

1) Choose a farm location to join—this is where you’ll pick up your shares each week. You can learn more about our farms on our farm site page.

2) We offer monthly payment plans: payments will start in the current month, and will be charged monthly on the day of your initial payment. Email us to set up a custom payment plan.

Vegetable Share

Regular Veggie Share

Organically grown veggies, herbs, and flowers fresh from our farms. We invite shareholders to pick your own herbs and flowers when you come to the farm each week for CSA pickup. A veggie share at DGS usually feeds 2–3 people per week; a share at Jack’s feeds 3-4 people. The amount and variety of produce fluctuates with the season, increasing as the harvest becomes more bountiful in late summer/fall.  Friends and family are welcome to join! You will receive an email each week with information about the harvest, upcoming events, and other news from the farms.

We offer biweekly veggie shares, too! For those of you who may be worried about the amount of vegetables being too much for your household, you can pick up a share every other week.

We also offer a payment plan option with three monthly payments - email us to get yours set up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Community Supported Agriculture work?

Community Supported Agriculture is about forging a direct relationship between food producers and food consumers. To participate, one purchases a CSA “share” in a farm prior to the growing season. A CSA share is similar to a subscription, but instead of getting a newspaper each week or a season pass for a ski resort, you get fresh, locally-produced, organically-grown food!  (It’s like pre-paid grocery shopping.) During the growing season, shareholders come to the farm each week to pick up their freshly harvested produce.

The whole family is encouraged to come to the weekly pickup, as you will get to see the farm and how it’s growing, learn about seasonal availability of different veggies, pick your own herbs and flowers, and get recipes and participate in cooking demonstrations that will help you turn your share into delicious meals for you and your family.

What if I’ll be out of town or on vacation during the CSA season?

Send a friend or neighbor to pick up your share! If that’s not convenient, your share will simply be added to our donation program that week. We’re sorry, but due to limited storage space and staff capacity we are unable to accommodate rescheduled pickups (pickups are on Wednesdays only).  If you’re running late on Wednesday, but still want to get your share, call or text your Farm Manager before the end of CSA pickup at 6pm and they can set your share aside for you to grab later that evening.

What kind of produce will I get?

We grow a wide variety of seasonal vegetables on our farms. Check out our Crop Calendar for more details.  If there are ever items in your share that you do not like, or do not want, there is a designated spot at pickup each week where you can leave undesired items behind for another family or for donation.

How much food will I get?

SCF’s veggie shares at our urban farms are designed to feed 2-3 folx per week, depending on how often you cook at home, how many servings of vegetables you eat, etc. At Jack’s, the veggie share feeds 3-4 people per week. The share size and variety of produce varies as the season progresses and plants mature, starting out smaller and ending up larger. The season starts out with cool, spring vegetables such as salad mixes, cooking greens, peas, and radishes. As the season progresses, warm season crops become available, such as tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Toward the end of the season, storage crops ripen, such as potatoes, winter squash, and onions.

How do I sponsor a share for a family?

Make a donation using this form and we will match your donation with a family. We work with our local schools, health clinics, and communities to identify interested/eligible households.  Through your support, a family can receive a weekly share of veggies throughout the season!  If you would like to make a contribution towards a share, you can donate any amount, or you may cover the full cost of the share.  Thank you for your support!

Do you have half-shares?

Yes, we offer biweekly veggie shares! For those of you worried about the amount of vegetables being too much for your household, you can pick up a share every other week.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes!  Please email us to set it up: you can pay in automatic monthly installments, with the final payment due by April 30th.

CSA Member Agreement

1. As a CSA member, I am responsible for picking up my produce on the designated pickup day/time (Wednesdays from 4-6pm). If I cannot pick up my produce during the scheduled time, I will make arrangements to have someone pick it up on my behalf, or will let the farm manager know that my share is to be donated that week. (If you are simply running late and would like your share set aside for you to pick up later that evening, the farm manager can accommodate if you get in touch by phone before the end of pickup at 6pm.) Due to storage and staff limitations, SCF cannot make accommodations for share pickups on days/times other than Wednesday evenings.

2. I understand that if my produce is not picked up within the designated time, it will be donated to a charity of SCF’s choice.

3. I understand that farming and crops can be affected by contingencies including weather, wildlife damage, drought, late/early frost, “acts of God!” etc. I agree to share the risk of these contingencies and understand that the amount of produce in my share may vary as a result.

Cancellation/Refund Policy: SCF will refund the full amount of a share, less a $50 processing fee, if cancelled by April 30th. No refunds will be issued after April 30th, but shares can be transferred to another person.
