CSA: Bee Fields Farm

Our CSA is about growing and sharing the food together. We share the bounty that nature provides as well as the risks and costs that are part of agriculture. We strive to provide enough food to feed our members throughout the year!

Once a week during the off-season and twice a week during the summer*, members can pick the produce they need to feed their families - in free form. You choose which produce you like and how much of it. At the peak of the season, you can take extra in order to process and store it for the winter. During the winter months, in addition to storage crops, we grow greens in our 3 greenhouses.

How much does it cost? Each year, the farmer presents to the members an annual budget. The annual budget includes all the operational expenses and labor costs. To figure out the cost of membership, the annual budget is divided by the target number of members. This gives us the �real� or full cost of membership.

To cover the annual budget, each household makes an annual pledge. Pledges can be above or bellow the full cost depending on financial ability. There is no direct connection between how much one pays and how much food one takes.

The expected cost per household for 2017/18 is $33 per week. This comes to $1650 for the whole year (50 weeks**). Pledges can be paid in monthly, quarterly or bi-annual installments. The actual cost might change slightly once the budget is done.
