Share Offerings

Volunteer Requirements

Members commit to completing three 90-minute shifts during the June-November 2025 season, or arranging alternatives in advance.

First Shift (5:00pm-6:30pm): Setup tasks including tables, scales, produce crates, weighing shares, greeting members, signing in, cleaning.

Second Shift (6:00pm-7:30pm): Cleanup tasks including stacking tables, breaking down boxes/crates, sweeping, storing leftover shares.

Health considerations: Members are encouraged to use judgment about participation; staying home when sick is acceptable. Delivery options are available for those unable to pick up in person.

Member Commitment & Pricing

Members commit to full-season participation with upfront payment to farmers at the beginning of the season. This payment model provides financial security for farmers throughout the growing season.

We offer a three-tiered pricing structure to promote accessibility:

SUNSET Plan

For those making over $50,000 individually or $75,000+ household/combined. Full-priced shares help subsidize other tiers.

PARK Plan

For those making under $50,000 individually or under $75,000 household/combined. Limited availability; not guaranteed for all requesters.

BROOKLYN Plan

For EBT-eligible households. We currently cannot accept EBT as payment but are actively pursuing applications.

Income includes wages, social security, parental support, public assistance, student loans, unemployment benefits, and retirement benefits. Only vegetable shares are subsidized; fruit, eggs, and coffee cannot be subsidized.

Share Partners

Volunteer Commitment

We recognize some in our community still want to participate in the CSA but may not be able to pick up in person due to health risks. Please indicate if you need assistance with pick-ups or if you would be able to help deliver shares to those in need.

Pricing Tier Selection

Share Selection

Members must select a Vegetable Share in order to participate.

Note: Due to inflation, increased seedling, labor, and gas costs, our farmer has requested a $2 per week increase for 2025. The CSA absorbed this increase in 2024 but is unable to do so for 2025.

Please select the type of Fruit Share you would like to purchase. If you do not want to purchase a Fruit Share, select "None".

Fruit season runs June 25 - November 2 (20 weeks weekly, 10 weeks EOW). We are happy to say that the weekly price for the Fruit Share remains the same as the last three years ($16).

Please select the type of Egg Share you would like to purchase. If you do not want to purchase an Egg Share, select "None".

Eggs are priced at $8.00 per dozen.

Please select the type of Coffee Share you would like to purchase. If you do not want to purchase a Coffee Share, select "None".

Coffee is priced at $15.00 per 10 oz. bag. For convenience, you may pick up your entire month's supply at the first distribution of each month. For example, if you select a Weekly coffee share, then the first time you pick up in June you will pick up all 4 bags for that month.
