CSA Plans & Pricing
CSA SHARE PRICING
The share price reflects the real costs of growing high quality vegetables. By eliminating the costs of packaging, shipping and marketing, the farmer receives a fair share of the profit. The average produce at the supermarket travels 1500 miles. Comparatively, we can offer you delicious flavor, picked at the peak of ripeness, as well as varieties rarely found at the store. You will have the benefit of personally knowing the farmers who grow your food and the land it comes from. We believe this adds up to a better value for your food dollar.
Our harvest season begins mid to late May and runs for a total of 24 weeks long, until late October. A full share with on-farm pick-up costs just $43 a week. That amount brings you a lot of fresh produce of incomparable quality (as well as 10 weeks of beautiful pick-your-own flowers), but it also brings you a lot more: a meaningful connection to your food, the land where it grows, and the community of people who help grow it.
SHARE OPTIONS
Full Share: $1008
FULL Share members pick up produce at the farm every week (for a total of 24 weeks, on either a Tuesday or a Thursday from 1-7pm). 10-15 items per pick-up. FULL Share members will also do their u-pick when available (including 10 weeks of flowers) every week.
Half Share: $564
HALF Share members: pick up produce at the farm every other week (for a total of 12 weeks, on either a Tuesday or a Thursday from 1-7pm). 10-15 items per pick-up.
HALF shares will choose A or B week for ease of scheduling. HALF Share members will also complete their u-pick (including flowers when available for approx. 5 weeks) on their designated “Week A” or “Week B.”
Pick-your-own Flower Share: $200
Do not choose this option if you will be doing an on-farm CSA Full or Half Share. PYO flowers are included in the shares listed above. This option is available as a stand alone option for folks who are only interested in flowers, and not vegetables.
Blooming Glen Farm offers a 1/2 acre of field grown pick-your-own flowers. Our plantings are staggered throughout the summer to provide a steady supply of foliage and blooms. We are at the mercy of the weather, though, and therefore cannot guarantee any specific flowers will be available at any particular time.
The 8-week PYO flower share will run from early July to early September. You may come to the farm once a week for 8 weeks to pick a large flower bouquet (we will provide a vessel). You may visit the farm to pick on Tuesday & Thursdays between 1-7pm.
Vegetable shares- What’s ALL is included?
Certified organic vegetables for 24 weeks (or 12 if you choose a half share).
PYO crops such as flowers, strawberries, ground cherries, string beans & cherry tomatoes
A customized weekly share recipe posted to our blog, as well as recipe links for ideas and inspiration in our weekly newsletter.
