What exactly is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a mutually-beneficial relationship between producer and customer or "shareholder" in which both share in the bounty and risk of sustainable agriculture. In exchange for a pre-season fee paid by the shareholder, the producer commits to providing the shareholder with a box of fresh vegetables on a weekly basis. The shareholder accepts the risk that crop variety may change with the risks inherent in agriculture. The producer accepts the responsibility of providing shareholders with consistency and quality each week.
By joining a farmshare or CSA program, you are becoming a part of the farm and investing in us so that we can grow your food. Your upfront investment helps us take good care of the crops and purchase materials in the spring when the farm is not generating income. Then we turn that investment into healthful food and return it to you throughout the season!

What does a typical share box include?Each week we carefully curate a "Farmers Pick" CSA box of our premium quality fresh vegetables. Full and Half share members will receive 6-10 items in their boxes totaling 25 credits; Light shares will be 3-5 items for a total of 15 credits. Our selection is based on what's in season, and we strive to offer variety and items that complement each other for meal preparation.
The weight of your box will vary throughout the year since in June you will get a lot of salad items and September brings heavier items like winter squash and sweet potatoes. You will receive an email letting you know what is in our curated "Farmers Pick" box for the week. If you choose, you can customize your box for the week or add additional items (see below). We offer a variety of add-on items that can be purchased as a la carte additions to your weekly boxes. We are planning to offer eggs, coffee, herbs, flowers, honey, maple syrup, and other items a la carte this year (see below). |

Can I choose what's in my box each week?
Yes! We have several ways of providing our members with choices each week, and ensuring that people go home only with items that they will use and love!
Members will have an online account. Each week you'll get an email letting you know what items we have curated in the Farmers Pick box that week. If it looks good to you, you don't have to do anything more, and we'll see you on your pick up day. You can also go into your account and trade out items in your box for other items that we have available at the farm that week. That way, if you aren't a kale fan, you can choose another item that week - maybe tomatoes, or onions! We'll pack your tailored box accordingly! You can preview our software system here.
We use "credits" in our software to assign a value to individual items in order to allow for box compilation and easy trading. For example, you can trade 6 credits of lettuce for 4 zucchini valued at 1 credit and a 2 credit pepper. We use round credit numbers for easy trading. For example, a zucchini might actually be worth $1.25 if you bought it at the farmers market, but it might be listed in our software as 1 credit to allow for easy trading. The overall share cost takes into account the value of your share overall over the course of the season.
Add-on produce: If you are planning a special meal or need additional veggies beyond the value of your weekly box, you can purchase extra items via your online member account each week if you link a credit card or Paypal account.

What if I go on vacation and have to miss a week?
We have a “flex box” policy to help shareholders get the full value of your share within the constraints of carefully scheduled plantings and Mother Nature's schedules. Half shareholders may request one “flex box” and full shareholders may request up to two flex boxes in the summer CSA.
If you have a half share, you can request to skip a scheduled share pickup, and we will pass it to the end of the season to our scheduled “flex makeup” week (October 18 or 20). Or if you prefer, we can also schedule it for one of your “off weeks” if we have the capacity to add it to the requested week.
If you have a full share, you can request to skip a scheduled share pickup, and we will pass it to the end of the season to our scheduled “flex makeup” week (October 18 or 20). If you request to skip a second week, we can add those credits for you to spend on additional vegetable purchases during the remaining summer CSA weeks. Credits cannot be rolled over to subsequent seasons.

Other Local and Ethically-sourced items we offer

We source other local and ethical items which members can add on to their weekly orders if they have a paypal or credit card linked as a payment method. Here are some of the items we offer as add-ons:
Coffee
FIRSTHAND coffee is fair-trade and top quality. FIRSTHAND Coffee Cooperative is a Morgantown-based cooperative that is committed to sustainable economic development. For this reason we are proud to partner with them and support our fellow farmers in Central America. FIRSTHAND sources coffee directly from small farmer cooperatives in Nicaragua, cutting out the middlemen in the coffee supply chain in order to ensure that those farmers are getting a fair price and can make a decent livelihood. And the coffee is delicious too!
