HEALTHY FOOD FOR ALL SHARES

We are proud to be part of the HealthyProgram Food for All . Healthy Food for All is a farmer-driven initiative that partners local CSA farms to make fresh, seasonal produce accessible to all community members regardless of income. We have a limited amount of subsidized shares. Check out the link for details.

WHAT'S THIS SLIDING SCALE ALL ABOUT?

First and foremost, If you made it to this page we want you to pull the trigger and buy a share. Please feel comfortable paying $598 for a Two Adult Household Share at just $26/ week if that is what you can afford…

…if you can afford more we would appreciate you considering paying between $598 and $700 to help us cover our rising expenses and provide a living wage for our employees. The sliding scale option provides you an opportunity to pay more for the share if you feel you can afford the extra cost and you feel good about paying a bit more. Here is a reason why you may feel obliged to pay more. Primarily, we have a sliding scale for our members so you have the opportunity to contribute to assist in providing a living wage for our employees. We are dedicated to this effort and are happy to say that many of our members have contributed a little more over the past few years. The simple fact is that farming with hand labor is expensive. It seems that the sliding scale is a good way for us to pay a living wage for our employees and keep the base price of our CSA affordable for our community without jeopardizing the quality and care that go into our farming operation. 

The CSA is also about Community. We emphasis at our farm that you don't pick up your ‘CSA.’ You pick up your 'CSA share'. You are part of the community in this agreement. We provide fresh produce grown from healthy soils, a space for you to get out of the ‘digital’ and enjoy our natural surroundings, a large u-pick to enjoy including thousands of flowers, and 23 weeks of delicious produce for you to choose from. Your CSA price pays for the whole service that we provide. If the value of the food is worth the share price…great! If just the flowers are worth the price..great! If just the experience is worth the price alone…great! Or maybe you see the value of the whole package and decide can afford to contribute a bit more than the base price. 

A mere $20 extra helps us cover the cost of inflation too. 

That being said. Here are your payment options!

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE TWO ADULT HOUSEHOLD SHARE?

  • Itemized vegetables including tomatoes and garlic.
  • Access to u-pick crops like strawberries, raspberries, peas, beans, flowers, kale, chard, etc. Most of the u-pick crops become unlimited! When we say unlimited we mean it!
  • Invitation to farm events
  • An invitation to come to the farm for family or personal recreation - walks, picnics, etc.
  • A Sweet Land Farm bag for new members
  • Access to recipes from CookWithWhatYouHave.com

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE SINGLE ADULT HOUSEHOLD SHARE? 

  • Weekly distribution of richly grown produce of your choice in a Half Filled Sweet Land Farm bag 
  • Itemized vegetables including tomatoes and garlic
  • Access to u-pick crops
  • Invitation to farm events
  • An invitation to come to the farm for family or personal recreation - walks, picnics, etc.
  • A Sweet Land Farm bag for new members
  • Access to recipes from CookWithWhatYouHave.com
  • Note: The only difference between the Single Adult Share and the Two Adult Share will be that the Single Adult Share receives a half a bag of vegetables every week. The itemized limits will be the same as the Two Adult Share ie. you will receive the same amount of tomatoes and garlic. The u-pick limits are the same as well as the invitation to farm events and access to the farm. 
  • Another Important note: The Single Adult Household Share is not a half share. It is not for two adults. If another adult is in your household and they 'do not eat vegetables' or have another source of vegetables this share is not for you. If you have two adults in your household I would hope you would purchase the two adult household share and help us cover the true cost of sustainable farming. We are in this together, the cost of the CSA share covers the expenses of the farm. That is how it is priced. We work hard to keep the share affordable and are committed to investing in soil fertility and paying our employees a living wage. We are happy to be involved in the Healthy Food For All program, which helps families who qualify receive financial assistance to purchase a CSA share.



DISTRIBUTION:

Shareholders come to the farm to pick up their share. PYO (pick your own) crops can be harvested anytime during the season any time between dawn and dusk, and as often as you wish. The Summer CSA season runs for 23 weeks (start date to be determined). Distributions will be held on the farm every Tuesday or Friday from 1-7p.m. Members may come to either distribution day, but only once per week.  Members may switch between distribution days as often as they wish – there is no need to let the farm know if you are coming Tuesday one week, and Friday the next. You will find the distribution barn and farm layout beautiful and easy to use.
