CSA
Three Stone Farm on Mar 29th 2010
You are invited to join our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm share program for 2011! By making a commitment to our farm, you can help our farm succeed in exchange for a weekly share of the harvest. CSA bypasses the normal producer-consumer relationship with a relationship that is beneficial for all. Through pre-paying for a share before the start of the growing season, we are able to purchase items needed to grow fresh, healthy food (like seeds, soil amendments, tools etc.) at a time when capital is scarce. In return, you become part of the farm, reaping the rewards of the local, seasonal bounty as well as sharing part of the risk (though we do our best to minimize risks by diversifying!), and sharing in some of the freshest, most nutrient-dense food around.
How does this work?
We Pick!
Our CSA Weekly Share is perfect for people who love a little variety, and like to be challenged into eating seasonally. We pick everything we have in season and box it up for you. Each new CSA Weekly Share membership comes with the cookbook From Asparagus to Zucchini: A Guide to Cooking Farm-Fresh, Seasonal Produce as our free gift to you. Members can also take advantage of the Swap Box at the farm, as well as being able to order extra produce or eggs at a 15% discount along with your pickup. Pickups are Saturdays 12–5pm and Mondays 1pm–7pm at the farm. Choose which day you’d like to pick up your share when you sign up.
Full share: $475 ($21.60 per week)
Half share: $286 ($13 per week)

You Pick!
Our Market Booth CSA is great for people who know what they want and what they don’t. Purchase $40 or $100 up front and receive $44 or $115 worth of booth credit at our Trumansburg Farmers Market booth on Wednesdays 4PM-7PM. Get as much produce as you want each week and we will deduct it from your account—no need to dig out your wallet or worry about bringing your purse! You can add more credits to your account or ask us for your balance at any time. Credit will be good for the entire current market season. Perfect for gardening, single, or particular people!
Both memberships run 22 weeks from June to October, and entitle you to our farm newsletter with recipe ideas, and invitations to farm events like community harvests and farm dinners. Full shares are intended to meet the needs of a family of 4.
