Joining a CSA is like subscribing to a farm. You subscribe by paying upfront for a three-month session. During that session, you pick up a weekly share of produce at our pickup location at The Historic Y. Near the end of a session, you can renew your subscription for the next session. We do not take subscriptions for a session once that session has started.
Sessions: we operate year-round in four separate sessions.
Spring session: March, April, May (13 weeks)
Summer session: June, July, August (13 weeks)
Fall session: September, October, November (13 weeks)
Winter session: December, January, February (11 weeks – there are no pickups during the weeks of Christmas and New Year)
Pickup days: Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 4:00 to 7:00 PM.
You can select your pickup day when you sign up. Once the session starts, you must stick to your pickup day for the duration of that session. If you can’t pick up on your pickup day, ask a friend to pick up your share for you.
At the pickup: there are 4 stops at the pickup location:
The Produce Line: where you collect an exact amount of produce from the boxes in the produce line (take no less, no more than indicated on the labels).
The Front Desk: where you can buy or order additional local seasonal goods..
The Trading Table: where you can trade one or more produce portions from your share.
The Surplus Bench: where you can take extra produce, donate produce you don’t want, or bring extra produce you may have from your garden.
