Grow On! CSA
Get Your 2016 Farm Share TODAY!
What is Community Supported Agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture is an opportunity to make an investment in your local farmer and food system. As a CSA member you purchase a weekly share of the farm's seasonal harvest. You, the local food lover, buy your CSA farm share at the beginning of the growing season, which provides your farmer with the necessary resources for a successful growing season.
Why choose a Grow On! CSA?
How does our CSA work?
You have the option of purchasing a full, 20 week share for $500 (June - Oct) or a 10 week ½ share for $300 (June - Aug). Each share will have one “flex week” that may be added at the end of your membership period just in case you miss a week due to vacation, emergency, etc. If you are unable to pick up your share and have already claimed your “flex week”, that week’s share will be donated to a local family in need.
Each weekly share will include a variety of 8-12 different items with a guaranteed minimum market value of $25. Too much produce for your household?? SPLIT A SHARE with family, friends, or colleagues!! This year, you will pick up your weekly share from a central Richmond location and you have the option of selecting your produce on-site OR we can select it for you!
*All share purchases are non-refundable and shares must be paid in full by May 31st, 2016. *Returning CSA members will receive a 5% discount on total share price if purchased by May 1st, 2016.
Each week our team of Grow On! youth garden market interns will harvest a bounty of fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, and cut flowers that they have grown naturally in our school market garden, without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
