CSA information 2024
Share dates: We have a limited number of shares available and we expect them to fill quickly. Each whole share will receive a total of 16 boxes. Half shares will receive 8 boxes. Pickups for whole and early season begin June 15 and continue every Saturday until September 28. Late season begins August 10.
Pick up details: Pick up will take place at our farm store via check in at the front counter. Members may pick up during normal business hours every Saturday, Monday, or Tuesday. Produce will be at its peak freshness on Saturday. Boxes not picked up by closing time Tuesday will be unavailable and no refunds will be issued. If you are unable to pick up your box you may arrange to have a family member or friend pick it up for you.
Pricing information: Share pricing is based on the value of your weekly box being between $36-$40 and is on a sliding scale to make fresh seasonal produce more accessible for all. If you have the means, please consider selecting an amount in the upper range; your generosity will help others on limited budgets enjoy the benefits of a full share.
It is important that all members of the CSA share be able to communicate easily via email.
Whole Season Harvest Share (16 boxes) - Sliding scale $585-$625 - BEST VALUE! Only 30 available - Reserve your spot now!
Produce galore! Enjoy your weekly boxes filled with seasonal produce. The value of the weekly box will always be at least $35-$40. Freshly picked Fordyce Farm berries take center stage, surrounded by other in-season fruits and veggies both from our farm and other local producers. Additionally there will be some of our specialty fruits like currants, Cornelian cherries, and more with tips and recipes for using them. Substitutions are available for the specialty fruits for customers who would like to stick with more traditional produce. Some weeks we will offer a second option of an entire box of berries, apples, peaches, or pickling cucumbers in lieu of the regular produce mix - this is a great option for our CSA members who like to can/preserve. See below for a sample season to give you an idea of what you can expect to see in your box.Early Season Harvest Share (8 boxes) - Sliding scale $295-$315 - Only 10 available - Reserve your spot now!

ADD-ONS - This year we are bringing back the old favorites in the form of add-ons. You will select your base Harvest Share price from the sliding scale and then select your desired add-ons at an additional set price.
Bakery add-on: Each week you’ll get to take home some of our signature baked goods like cookies, scones, or pie. You’ll often get to choose from a few options. Weekly value is between $10-$18. Whole season $180, half season $95
Preserve the harvest add-on: Each week you’ll receive one of our preserved items. We have an array of jams, jellies, and fruit butters. Some weeks will be our choice of flavor, other weeks will be your choice. There will also be the opportunity to select our signature Apple Sauce or Garden Tomato Sauce on select weeks. Whole season $85, half season $45
Protein add-on: We have partnered with Oregon Valley Farm based in Lebanon to offer organic, grass-fed, grass-finished beef to your weekly pickup. Each week you will receive 1lb of ground beef. If you choose to substitute your ground beef with something else from the freezer, please plan to pay the difference as your pricing only factors ground beef. Your base pricing covers $10.50 worth of meat each week which factors in a discount from the usual retail price. Whole season $168, half season $84.
