2026 VEGETABLE CSA SUBSCRIPTION

unnamed (1).jpg

​Why join our CSA?

  • Enjoy eating seasonal, local, and chemical free produce!

  • Learn about seasonality through food!

  • Expand your cooking repertoire with quality ingredients and recipes handpicked for each vegetable! 

  • Know that your dollars are supporting a family farm in your community, keeping your investment local. Our farm is proudly small scale, meaning we - Mikey and Erin (and now little Arlo!) - are your farmers along with a couple of other part-time community members. 

  • Invest in the care of 122 acres of greenspace! Promote sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices for soil and water health and the most nutrients possible in your food!

​

What are my options for signing up?

We offer two CSA experiences for your enjoyment! We offer a traditional CSA that is a curated box of veggies that are in abundance and peak freshness, and we offer a market card for those who would like to select their veggies weekly at one of our two farmers market locations. There are pros and cons to each - with the traditional model, the guesswork is taken out for you and you get to go on a culinary adventure of discovery! With the market card, you get to select what you like and take it home! Both benefit us through your investment in the farm - the dollars you spend now, at the beginning of the season, go directly towards purchasing seeds, materials for starting seeds, fuel for the tractor, and wages for us during the leanest sales time of the season. It really takes the burden off of us to get things going at the beginning of the season so that we can grow the best of the best for you! Read on for more details!

​

Veggie CSA Details

​

Our vegetable CSA is a weekly box of the best of what's growing on our farm. We choose 7 -10 veggies and deliver them to conveniently located pickup spots throughout the city. You'll get salad and leafy greens in the spring, tomatoes and beans in the summer, root veggies and squash in the fall, and much more! It's a seasonal tasting tour of Kentucky that lasts up to 30 weeks, from the first of May to the end of November. We also have a limited number of egg shares available from our small flock of free-range chickens that are fed non-GMO soy-free food. 

​​

We have two seasonal options:

  • Regular Season - 21 weeks of veggies, starting May 6 through September 30.

  • Extended Season - 28 weeks of veggies, starting May 6 through November 18.

  • A note on our calendar - We take a break the first two weeks of August to give ourselves time to rest and reset the farm for fall and winter plantings. 

 

​How much does each option cost?

  • Regular Season - 21 weeks at $26/week, for a total of $588 for the season if paid up-front. We offer a 5% discount if you pay in full before April 1, 2026!

  • Extended Season - 28 weeks at $26/week, for a total of $780 for the season. We offer a 5% discount if you pay in full before April 1, 2026!

  • SNAP/EBT Subscription - $25 per box, billed weekly.

​

Can I get eggs, too?

  • We offer an add on share that includes one dozen eggs per week.

  • $210 for the extended season and $157.50 for the regular season (this equals $7.50/dozen).

  • If you would like eggs less frequently, you can add them to your box from the online store on a weekly basis. 

​

How can I pay?

  • Preferred method - checks mailed to us! Or cash at the farmers market! This saves everyone on credit card fees, which really add up. 

  • Debit/credit card - This is an option at checkout when you sign up. We will add a fee to cover those costs on your invoice.​

  • SNAP/EBT -  Select this form of payment on the signup form and we will follow up with more details on how we are able to accept this form of payment. 

​

When and where do I pick up my box?

  • On the farm in Eminence, KY! Come say hey to the cows and chickens and grab your CSA!

  • Some wonderful friends of the farm host pickup sites around Louisville and Prospect on Wednesdays:

    • Crescent Hill

    • Original Highlands

    • Prospect​​

  • We also host pickups at our farmers markets on Saturdays:

    • Original Bardstown Road Farmer's Market​

    • New Albany Farmer's Market

  • Pickup at all Wednesday locations start after 5pm. Farmer's Market pickups are on Saturday from 9am - 12pm.

Market Card Details​

 We're super excited for this offering. Ever since we began running a CSA years ago, we have had folks ask for more customization of their share. We are a small operation - just the two of us that are full time with 2-3 part time folks during the height of the growing season - and we just don't have the capacity to do a fully customized share for every customer (and just worth noting, this is an intentional choice! To grow our business larger means a move away from the intentionality and specialization that we are able to put behind what we grow. Our goal has never been to be the Kroger clicklist of organic farms!). So, we are offering a debit card style program for use at our farmers market booths! The idea is that you still pay in advance as with the regular CSA, helping us with the costs we have for the season. In return, we will mail you a debit/gift card before the start of the CSA season that you can use to shop at the market. You pick out the veggies you want and pay with the card. 

​

How it works:

  • You buy what is essentially a gift card from us. When you click the link "Join Here" at the top of this page, it will take you to a Google Form to sign up. On that form, you will click that you want the Market Card, and how much you would like loaded on that card.

  • We will mail you a card before the start of the season in May that you will use at the market when you make your produce selections. 

  • You will come to either market location (you can shop at either with the card!) and pick out the produce that you want that week. When paying, present your card and we will swipe it to deduct the value of the produce.

  • You will not have a prepacked bag of produce - you will select everything yourself!

  • If you miss a week, no big deal! Your balance rolls over week to week. However, all balances will expire on November 1, 2026 so you will want to spend your balance before then!

  • You can track your balance online as you would any gift card.

​

Other Considerations​

​

  • CSA shares and Market Cards are non-refundable. If you choose to end your subscription early, you can transfer the remainder of your shares or your market card to a friend of family member, and the details of that transfer will need to be managed by you. 

​

  • All Market Card balances expire on November 1, 2026. You can of course still shop the market, but we will not accept Market Cards after that date.

​

  • We cannot guarantee any specific produce items for you! We bring as much produce as we think we can sell to the market each week, with the intention of selling all of it! Some items move fast (i.e. the first tomatoes of the season, lettuce mix, carrots). We will do our best to communicate each week what we intend to bring, but we suggest you arrive early if you have specific items that you want. â€‹â€‹

Additional details about the CSA will be sent once you sign up, but please reach out with any questions. Thank you for choosing us to be your farmers!
