How does it work?

The farm offers shares of the food it expects to produce to members for a flat rate at the beginning of the growing season and uses this investment to purchase the seeds, equipment and other supplies needed for the season. The farm then plants based on the number of memberships sold in order to provide the best and most wholesome produce available for their members. For their share, members will receive a box of produce every week throughout the season. For full details, check out the Membership Agreement

WEEKLY FOOD BOX

As a member of Farmer Tim’s Fresh Produce, you will receive an equal share of produce every week for 20 weeks starting on June 15th and running through November 3rd. As a member, you will share in the bounty of our labors, but also in the potential risks. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, the weather or the plants or other things beyond our control just do not cooperate and the harvest is less than we had planned for. In case of a failed or lean harvest on a certain crop, we will do everything we can to make up for it in other ways by adding other items that are doing well. But more often than not, we actually get a lot more than we bargained for and share our good fortune with our members. We have a website (insertwebsitehere.com) and a weekly newsletter that will include what is in this week’s box, recipes and tips for what is included, and stories of life here on the farm. Contact information is available on the website.

Sounds pretty good, but how much is this gonna cost me?

Since not everyone needs the same amount of produce in a week, we offer both full and partial shares. The cost of each share is based on the percentage of what we consider a “standard” share. A standard share is designed to feed a family of 4 and will contain 6-9 items per week. Partial shares will contain the same items, just in smaller quantities.

Single person Share

(25% of a standard share) $160 (breaks down to $8 per week)

Couple share

(50% of a standard share) $300 (breaks down to $15 per week)

Standard share $500 (breaks down to $25 per week)

Large family share

(150% of a standard share) $700 (breaks down to $35 per week)

How do I pay for my CSA share?

We accept cash, check or PayPal for membership payment. Although payment is typically expected in full by June 1st, we understand that it is a sizable investment, so we offer a few options to help you manage your budget.

We offer a 10% early bird discount for all memberships paid in full before April 15th.

For a 10% surcharge, you can split your membership into two payments the first due on June 1st and the second on August 3rd.

For your convenience, you can make smaller payments in advance of the due date as long as your membership is paid in full by the due date.
