CSA
Our CSA will last for 22 weeks starting the last week in May and continuing through the 3rd week in October. Each week members will pick up their basket of produce at the distribution site. All Members will be encouraged to spend one day at the farm to help with harvesting and distribution, weather you are a volunteer member or not.
There are different levels of membership. The working membership is discounted to reflect how much time you work on the farm. This could range anywhere from a fully paid working membership, or a price reduction (depending how much time a week we arrange for you on the farm). The general membership is for those of you who wish to simply receive your basket of fresh produce each week.
Common Questions
What produce can I expect, do I get to choose?
You will receive a pre packed box of produce each week. It will contain seasonal produce that is ripe, ready to be picked that day on the farm!
If crops fail, how does it affect my share?
The produce that is planted at the farm has many variables. Some crops will be abundant and you will receive more, where as some crops may fail or yield less than expected due to weather or other circumstances.
What else does Javernick family Farms CSA offer?
Community, reconnecting with the land, getting your food directly from the farm, better nutrition through fresh, chemical free produce and fun! We invite you to stay a while when receiving your share, meet new people and share recipes!
