We have really enjoyed selling through the CSA model, as it allows us to get to know the people that are eating our vegetables! In our CSA, customers pay in for the growing season, and then pick up an assortment of produce each week throughout the summer. Our CSA will run from June through September, with one week off in the middle, for a total of 16 weeks. We have two weekly pickup options to choose from, one in South Bend, and one on the farm in Buchanan.
We do a fill-your-own-box model. So each week at pickup you choose your 8 (or 4) items from the organically grown produce that we have available that week, according to what is in season. If you are unable to pick up for a week, we would ask that you have a friend or family member pick up the produce for you, as we don't offer double pickups in later weeks if you miss a pickup.
Below are some examples of produce that we plan to have at different times in the season, but all together we grow over 30 different types of veggies! We also offer add-ons that can be purchased in addition to your vegetables each week.
Produce: salad, onions, garlic, peppers, beets, summer squash, tomatoes, bok choy, carrots, and many more
Add-ons: beef, honey, bread and flowers available for add-on purchase at pickup
