CSA FAQ
WHAT IS A CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture – a model practiced by thousands of farms and communities around the world (here’s a link to one short history of CSA).
CSA members (including Market Share members) invest in a “share” of the farm early in the season. This allows the farmer to make needed investments in seeds, soil amendments, and labor when funds are tightest. In return, members receive a regular share of the harvest through the growing season. Together, the farmer and the CSA members acknowledge the risks of depending on nature to feed us – sometimes there are crop shortages due to extreme weather or pests – but we can guarantee there will be enough to nourish and sustain us all.
CSAs are an opportunity to receive food at its peak in nutrition and flavor. Many members also value the connection they develop with the land that sustains them and the people who make it possible. In a fast-paced, get-anything-anytime culture, many people also appreciate how it changes the way that they relate to cooking, often developing more confidence and flexibility.
As your farmers, we love the direct connection to the communities we feed, and we’re there for you if you don’t know what something is or need inspiration or information. And we frequently learn from and are inspired by you, too.
OK, SO WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CSA AND MARKET SHARES?
As a CSA member, you receive your "share" of veggies every week through the growing season. As a Market Share member you prepay, but do not receive a fixed amount of produce or farm products each week. You come to shop when you choose and have your total deducted from your prepaid credit. Depending on your lifestyle, some people need the extra flexibility of the Market Share.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We send you weekly emails a day or two before pickup times, letting members know what is in their boxes and Market Share members what they can expect at the stand. In CSA Shares, we try to provide a good basis for 2-3 people for the week, about $25 worth of vegetables, usually 5-8 components, often including fresh culinary herbs. Half Shares are about half of a Full share, and can either be received weekly, or the equivalent of a Full Share, every other week.
Market Share Members can also find us and use their credit at our booth at the Saturday Portland Farmers Market and Portland State University (PSU).
