What does CSA stand for?
                    
- Community Supported Agriculture.


When can I sign up for CSA?
This year we are offering approximately 200 memberships. Due to limited space in our CSA we request that you join by April 1st for our first session, June 1stfor our second session, and August 1st for our third session. (Space providing, we will still accept registrations after these dates)

Update: We still have openings for all three of our summer sessions!



 We have divided our 2011 Summer Season up into three, ten week, sessions that you can take part in. 

                    - Session 1: May 7th – July 11th
                    - Session 2: July 16th – September 19th
                    - Session 3: September 24th – November 26th


Can I join in the middle of a session?
Yes, you may join our CSA at any point during the season. We will pro-rate the costs weekly, after the first week, and post them on our site. You may not join for one week at a time; you must sign up for the duration of the current session.

How much does each session cost?
Each of our ten week sessions will cost $200.
Why $200? This allows you $20 a week for ten weeks. You are required to purchase at least $15 in produce each week. The remaining balance can be used to buy any per ticket items offered to our member throughout the week. 

         For Example: 

                  - During our first session we will be offering 20% off the regular 
                     retail price of our bedding plants.
                  - Various premium quality baked goods
                  - any additional produce items available that week

What if I have extra money in my account at the end of the session?
If there is still a balance in your account at the end of a session this money will only be transferred into your next session if your dues are paid by the last day of the previous session. For example, if you pay for session 2 when you pick up your last box of session 1, your remaining money will be transferred into session 2. This money may not be applied to the cost of the next session, and will not be carried over into the next year.

How do I get my box each week?
You can pick your box up at our Farm every Tuesday from 10am-6pm or Thursday from 3pm-6pm. Days are firm, but times may increase as the summer progresses. Our Farm is located on 846 Fisher Road, in Mechanicsburg PA. 

How many times a week can I come?
You will be required to purchase one box each week you attend. If you choose to come more than once a week your account will be debited for the cost of the produce you received on your second visit. You will not be limited to one box a week, but once the money in your account is gone you will have to pay by cash or charge for the remainder of your purchases during this session.

What if I am going away, and miss a week?
If you miss a week, you will not be debited the money for the box you missed. You can use that money at a later date on other produce, or an extra box another week.

Will Fruits be available?
Yes, different local fruits will be offered during their seasons such as peaches, apples, cherries, raspberries, and blueberries.  Some of these items will be offered to you in larger quantities at a discounted member price.

Will I receive a member discount on produce for canning and freezing?
 
Yes, when the crop is at its prime we will be offering discount prices on a larger volume for canning and freezing purposes.
