Do you love fresh vegetables, but have no time or ability to have a garden? A weekly vegetable share might be what you need! Read below for more information.
What is a CSA?Community Supported Agriculture is a way for consumers to buy seasonable food directly from a farmer. You essentially invest in their farm by pre-paying for a share of the season's harvest. By paying up-front, the farmer gets cash in the beginning of the season when it's needed most. In exchange for your investment, you receive a weekly share of fresh veggies while also supporting a local, family-owned farm.

Why should I invest in a CSA?The reasons are many!

How does it work?A CSA is an investment and a shared risk endeavor. Members support a local farmer by sharing in the inherent risks of agriculture (poor weather, drought, disease, frosts, crop failure, and so on) and rewards (the bounty from a good season!). Customers commit to farmers and farmers, in return, commit their hard work to provide you with the most fresh, high quality food possible.

How much does a share cost?
We are now offering two share options. Weekly deliveries run roughly from June through September, depending on the growing season, of course!
A "Full Farm Share" is $450.00 per season. This bountiful share is based on two vegetable-loving adults, or a family of four.
A "Single Share" is $325.00 and will feed a single vegetarian or two adults with a mixed diet.

When is payment due?
Please send in a deposit of $100.00 before April 1st to secure your farm share. The remainder of the share is due at the first delivery.
Remember, this upfront payment helps us buy the seed, soil, and other things necessary to prepare for the growing season and provides us an immediate income to begin the season. This allows the farm to concentrate on good land stewardship and growing you high quality food!
Please make checks can be made payable to Micah D. Kelly. Call or email us so we can put you on our list and send you our mailing address.

Delivery/Pick-Up
Delivery will take place on Thursday of each week to Augusta. You can pick up your share from Tracy. She will keep everything in a cooler in her car and you can pick it up at anytime between 8AM and 4PM . You will need to bring a cooler with an ice-pack in order to keep your veggies fresh and to prevent wilting.
You can also pick up at the farm in Palermo on Thursday evenings between 3 and 8 PM.
If the above two options do not work, contact us and we may be able to work out a special arrangement.
