Join a CSA program and discover its benefits while promoting ecological farming practices!<\/p>\n<h3>How Much is an Annual Subscription? What is Included in my Share?<\/h3>\n<p>CSA members are normally provided with neatly packed baskets of pre-washed freshly harvested vegetables. Every basket is filled with at least 8 seasonal items, delivered straight to your doorstep. Many CSA Farms provide members a couple of surprises, like occasionally adding fruits or eco-friendly goods from their partners.<\/p>\n<p>All the produce is harvested on the same day of delivery. Strict timelines are kept and have alternatives in case of inclement weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>All members will be reminded via text and email a week before farms dispatch the orders. You may also choose to pick up your basket at any partner establishments. It&#8217;s good practice to inform farms beforehand if you have any last-minute changes to your order.<\/p>\n<h3>When and Where Can I Pick Up my Basket?<\/h3>\n<p>Here are some recommended partners\u2019 products and services, farms collaborate with them to handle shares that are set for pickup. You may also browse these shops for eco-friendly products.
