CSA Program
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Members of the community commit their support to the farmer for the duration of the growing season and in return, the farmer provides those members with the produce grown from the farm in weekly shares during harvest.
Members pay up front and will then receive a weekly basket/share containing a variety of produce. In 2019, our CSA shares became customizable, and we continue to offer customization every season. No need to fear that you will receive unwanted or disliked fruits or veggies again, you have complete control of your share each week.
A subscription to our farm offers you access to the freshest produce around. Use our easy online marketplace to customize your weekly CSA share while the veggies are still growing in the field. Each week, we automatically create a share for you, which you can log in and customize according to your preferences. Add and take out items as you desire. Customers can shop for additional items such as breads, pantry items, beef and more while customizing shares- even swap out produce for other items. We grow a wide variety of crops throughout the season; therefore, we offer a large selection of produce to choose from each week.
Customize Your CSA Share
The advantages to being able to customize your share is that you get a choice in what you will receive each week. During the login period you can view what will be in your CSA Share this week before you receive it. If you do not like an item/items, you can easily remove the item/items from your share and either add a different item in its place or simply remove and retain a credit for the item removed and use that credit later for other products. Knowing ahead of time what you will be receiving in your share and what produce we have to choose from really makes your week easier to plan. Plus, with our market place online, there will be items available to purchase that are not in the shares that week, so you can shop additional items as well.
We want you to enjoy all your produce each week, but you know your family’s schedule, likes and dislikes, so customizing your share makes the CSA share more compatible with your families needs. The growing season in Kentucky is ever changing; therefore, the produce may change weekly throughout the season. By becoming a CSA member, the customer will be reaping the benefits of the growing season, but will also have risk, as the farmer does, due to weather and any other obstacles that may occur, causing crop issues. The CSA allows people to feel a real connection to their local farmers and the land they operate on. Therefore, CSA members will be receiving healthy, fresh, and local farm produce weekly, while also knowing the people and the farm they are supporting.

How It Works
CSA members can expect to receive a weekly basket/share of our harvest for 18 weeks. Produce will vary from week to week, as the season changes. CSA members are able to customize their shares each week during their login period, which is 48 hours. Emails are sent to prompt customers to login to change their shares, plus there is a time remaining reminder as well in the email. Members pay a fee up front to hold their share because our shares are limited. Members are welcome to pay in full at sign up or anytime before June 30th, but the deposit is required by Mid May to start your CSA shares for the season. Otherwise, customers can pay balances over time, whatever works best for them. We ask for full payment by June 30th (we do make exceptions).

Going on vacation or need to skip a week?
No problem. You can create vacation holds through your online account. Or just push cancel order during your login period if you are unable to pick up that week. This way we will automatically know that you will be missing your share that week. You will then receive a Farm credit in your Farm credit account for the share that you missed. You will be able to use this credit to purchase items from the farm using your account.
