Will a farm share CSA save me money?

YES! 

Purchasing a CLASSIC 14-week CSA costs  $30/week.  When comparison shopping at local stores we total the average weekly price tag for what’s in your box at $39-$43 - and not all of it organically grown nor freshly harvested - like ours is!

On top of our delicious food, our memberships include access to a weekly "unpack your box" video, recipes, two wax boxes (that we use to deliver your products) and unlimited information on native plants, meadows and ecological landscaping!

What if there’s a crop failure? Do I get my
money back?

This is part of the risk of joining a CSA. You are investing in Mother Nature’s cooperation and in our expertise as farmers. There is no refund if there is a crop failure. Normally, though, conditions conspire for a bountiful harvest.
