CSA's now available from the Orchard Garden!

If you love local food, and love the Orchard Garden, now's your chance to buy a CSA share. This share will provide a weekly box of fresh produce through the growing season. Click here to sign up.

Or for more information...

Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) is a model used frequently in urban agriculture where the customers and producers share both in the benefits and risks of farming. We ask for a lump sum payment upfront which will provide us with working capital for the season. In return you will get a weekly share of the most fresh, local, and seasonal vegetables possible. Because of the large number of variables that affect vegetable production, CSA members are asked to understand that the produce that you receive will not be entirely predictable. The weekly share will vary based on growing conditions.

Additionally, we are asking for a suggested donation of $100 for garden improvements. This money would go towards seeds, tools, soil amendments, etc.

 

The options we are offering are as follows:

Full Share

 

16 weeks - Early June to  Late September

$375 - ~$25 per week worth of vegetables

$100 suggested donation for garden improvements

Half Share

16 weeks - Early June to  Late September

$240 - ~$15 per week worth of vegetables

$100 suggested donation for garden improvements

Working Share

For this option we would require a 2 hour/week commitment to volunteering in the garden. In return you will receive a 50% discount on either a half share or a full share.  Please contact us at lfsgarden@gmail.com  to establish a work schedule.

Spots on the list will be awarded first come first serve, so please don't hesitate to voice your interest. We can arrange payment at your convenience. Weekly pick-up of your share will occur every Tuesday from the Orchard Garden office starting as soon as possible in June. The Orchard Garden office is located in McMillan room 66 (in Agora).

Any qusetions can be sent to lfsgarden@gmail.com

Thanks,

Heather, Panthea, and Emma
