We do not require a work commitment as part of our CSA, because so many of our existing customers are from the Rochester area, which is over an hour and a half from our farm. I want for everyone to have opportunity to enjoy the chance to reap the benefits of organically grown (not certified), truly fresh fare at their table this summer and well into fall. Although a work commitment is not required, we encourage our customers to come up and take part in the gardening experience with our family, and theirs, as well as with their neighbors. We are always open to visitors.

We offer a full CSA share (minimum of 16 weeks) for $600 ($37.50 per week - You would have a difficult time trying to pick up a bushel of produce in the grocery for under $40 - especially when regular (not organic)tomatoes last season were over $3 per lb. and onions are up to $1.49/lb)- this includes a bushel sized weekly box which is well suited for family of 4-6. Pick up at the farm or one of our drop offs between here and Farmington. A half share box is also available for $385 ($24 per week), and is also a bushel in size; however, instead of weekly pick up they are picked up every other week. You can also choose to receive half a bushel weekly instead. The half share box is adequate for a family of 1-3.

If you need home delivery for your share it can be arranged. It will be an additional $75 annually to drop the box right at your door throughout most of our service area (if you live in the Farmington/Birmingham area it is $100 for the season).

In addition to our 2 standard CSA shares, we also offer a senior box, which is at least half a bushel in size, and picked up or delivered each week. This is available to our senior customers over age 65 in our coverage area between Silverwood and Rochester - this includes but is not limited to North Branch, Lapeer, Millington, Birch Run, Frankenmuth, Oxford, Dryden, Metamora, Lake Orion, Oakland TWP, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Caro, and Farmington.

Price for the senior share box is $300 and home delivery is included within the area we cover. The price on the senior share never goes up. My grandparents played a huge role in my upbringing and it is important to me that our program be affordable to area seniors. Tell your neighbors!

We also just purchased a small flock of isa brown laying pullets and will be offering egg shares to our subscribers (they will only be available to the public if we do not sell out to the CSA members). These will be large to extra large brown eggs layed by truly pastured free range chickens. Free range eggs, which are all but impossible to get in the store are by far the most nutritious on the market. Pricing is as follows: CSA Egg shares: 1 dozen weekly X 16 weeks - $50 2 dozen weekly X 16 weeks - $95 Egg Shares alone: 1 dozen weekly X 16 weeks - $60 2 dozen weekly X 16 weeks - $105

CSA shares make wonderful gifts for friends and family members who could use a little lift. If you have a son or daughter who is struggling to make ends meet, its an excellent way to ensure your grandchildren are getting the nutrition that they need to stay strong and healthy in a downturned economy. The senior share is also great for those of you who would like to let your elderly parents know you are thinking about them each week. These beautiful weekly baskets are especially meaningful to the older folks who used to have beautiful gardens, but are unable to maintain them any longer.

****ALSO PLEASE FILL IN THE CONTACT FORM AS COMPLETELY AS POSSIBLE WHEN CONTACTING US AT THE FARM.****

Please keep in mind that the earlier you sign up the cheaper the rate. As we get closer to delivery season the rate increases slightly. This is because most of the expense of maintaining the garden takes place between February and April, so early sign up is helpful and encouraged. The next rate increase takes place on May 15th. At that time, the half share rate will be $385 and the full share rate goes up to $600.
