CURRENT Member 2024 Early Bird Signup Details

by | Sep 4, 2023 | From the Field

Even though the harvest season is halfway over, we’re already in the planning stages for next season. We really appreciate all the positive feedback and support we’ve received this year and are excited to bring you just as many delicious veggies in the upcoming year. As you know, the CSA model is significant for farms, as we are able to receive revenue before the growing season begins and purchase important supplies like seeds, fertilizer, and equipment. Our income is more predictable because we know what to expect for our budget and plan accordingly. We hope you are able to join the community for another year in 2024! Read carefully below as some things have changed:

Please note a few changes for next year:

  1. The name of our “Summer Share” is changing to “Full Season Share” but everything else about it will remain the same. Since the Summer Share runs the full length of the season (20 weeks), we found it to be a little misleading and confusing for new members who are signing up for the first time. We hope this will help. 

  2. The prices for all shares are increasing for the 2024 season. See more information including prices and thank you gift options below.

  3. Pick up days will continue to be on Tuesdays and Fridays, but the pick up hours are shortening slightly to 10AM – 6PM.

Current members can sign up beginning on Monday, September 18th at 8AM and have until October 29th at 8PM. When you sign up, you will have the option to choose from a few different “thank you” gifts to show our appreciation for your continued support. See details below:
