The Full Diet CSA is a partnership between several farms in the area to bring you high quality, local options for everything you eat. We partner with Valley Spirit Farm, Faul Family Riverside Farm, Rootbound Farm, On Tapp Dairy, and other farmers and producers in the area to offer vegetables, beef, pork, mushrooms, chicken, turkey, lamb, milk, honey, bread and grains, fats, ferments, bone broth, and more!

Have questions? Here are some FAQ's answered below!

​

What kind of vegetables can I expect?​

​

One of the most exciting things about participating in a CSA is the opportunity to learn to eat seasonally. The beginning of the season brings a lot of greens, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and roots like carrots and beets. As we move into summer there are often still those veggies plus tomatoes, squash, beans, peppers, corn, eggplant, and melons! As we move into fall, we often still have summer vegetables long into October, plus a return of all of the greens and roots of spring, winter squash, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. It really is a full tour of the availability of seasonal produce - a farmers market delivered straight to you!

​

Are you organic?

​

We, and all of our partner farmers, grow vegetables and raise livestock in ways that we feel are best for people and the planet. We are not certified organic by the USDA, and while we would consider it in the future, right now we find the cost and paperwork just don't make sense for us. However, we grow using methods that we call organic equivalent - we (and our partners) do not use synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and all of our practices center around regenerative agriculture to improve the health of the soil, provide space for pollinators, and maintain water health on and around the farm. We are very proud of the way we grow our food and the difference it makes in growing nutrient dense foods for ourselves and our customers!

​​

I'm going out of town for work/vacation. Can I skip a delivery?

​

If you know you will be out of town for a delivery, please let us know as soon as possible (at least one week!) so that we can make sure we know what you'd like to do with your share. Options include:

​

• Prorating your CSA rate. We are only able to do this once during the season. If you are going to miss more than one delivery, you can:

• Ordering more on the delivery before you leave or after you return. Again, please let us know as soon as possible so that we know that's what you're planning to do!

• Giving it to a friend! We've had lots of "guest CSA members" over the years that step in to take over someone's order that is out of town. It's always a treat for them!

​

My kids don't eat that much. Do I actually need to include them? ​

​

We find that our pricing structure works very well for most families, so we ask that you include any child over 3 when signing up for the CSA. We look at our each family's order right before and after each delivery to make sure no one is severely over or under ordering. If that seems to be the case, we will contact you directly to find a solution to make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck!

 

What if I don't know how to cook some of the vegetables?

 

We send a newsletter with every order form that includes information about new vegetables offered that week, as well as suggestions about how to cook some of the more unique vegetables. And, if you ever have questions about how to cook something, we're here for you! We are avid home cooks and love to share our love of vegetables!

 

Other questions? Please don't hesitate to shoot us an email at boxcaracres@gmail.com

 

We look forward to feeding your family!
