2024 CSA

This year we will offer a limited 10 share "beta-test" Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program!  A CSA program is one where you help invest in the farm's start up by pre-ordering a share in the seasons harvest!  With the upfront capital you provide we are able to invest in the infrastructure needed to run the season successfully and provide you with a weekly portion of the farms abundance throughout the summer and into the fall.

For our first year stepping into the market garden arena, we will be offering a limited 10 share CSA to help us get things started, and build the workflow needed for a future bigger CSA program.  The program is planned to run from May through September this year, offering you 20 weeks of affordable and fresh produce grown right in Maple Ridge.  Our goal is to provide approximately $25 worth of produce per share per week. 

What can you expect during the CSA program?  Generally as the season begins we will start off with mixed greens, radishes, and some herbs and flowers.  As we progress through the season we will then offer beets, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, more greens, more herbs, more flowers, strawberries, blueberries, tomatillos, squash, beans, corn, melons, and of course PEPPERS!  The beginning and ends of seasons are usually a bit lighter, but the abundance of summer and early fall truly makes up for that!  We will always do our best to pick a decent variety of available items for you to enjoy each week.  For a comprehensive list of our planned crops this year and possibilities of what you'd receive, make sure to check out the page above for the full produce list! 

As a member of our CSA you are also agreeing to the understanding that you are investing in our farm.  While reaping the benefits of such, you also accept the risk of any potential losses.  Sometimes nature may affect the output negatively, however usually nature also provides us with an abundance of other produce which should help balance any possible losses throughout the season.  In the event that a particular item doesn't produce, we will strive to make up for it in future weeks.  If in the event of any unforseen catastrophic crop loss that is impossible to make up for on our own, we will work with other local farms to see what we can purchase to supplement any losses with.  We will also always strive for quality over quantity and won't put unripe or underdeveloped produce in your bag just for the sake of that's what's supposed to be going in based off a calendar or spreadsheet.  You can expect that if our carrots aren't ready we won't be harvesting tiny carrots!  We'd rather wait a week and give you proper big carrots to enjoy!  

The price to help support this exciting first step of our farms growth is $500 per share for the season.  That gets you 20 weeks of produce at the price of $25 per share.  We ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit when registering to secure your spot, and the balance to be paid no later than May 1st.  

But wait, there's more!  For being a part of our "Beta Test" CSA, All members will be eligible for a 10% discount on any additional produce sold through our farm stand or at farmers markets.
