Our farm is a hybrid of the popular Community Supported Agriculture model and a Farmers Market. Members get a box of food each week, but we let you decide what you want and how much, and you pay only for what you get.
Members join the farm by starting a prepaid account. Each week, the farm sends an email to our members with a list of produce available. Members place their order, we harvest their food and prepare a box to be picked up at the farm. The prepaid account is debited for the food that you buy. When your account runs out, you can choose to recharge it or pay for your food on a week-by-week basis. You never get veggies you don’t like or more food than you need.
We developed this model of membership farm to be flexible and to fit the unique needs of the Illinois Valley. We know that many of you grow your own gardens and don't want a big box of summer squash in August. We let you choose the what and how much produce you get. We also know that times are tight and it is not easy to pay for a season's worth of produce up front. We are asking for each member to start an account of $95 - this is about 4 to 6 weeks of produce for a familiy of 2 to 4. (Noone will be turned away for lack of funds - please talk to us to work something out.)
Your prepaid account is invested directly into getting the farm up and growing for the season. We appreciate the support of our members!
