Signups are now open for this summers CSA! 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. Our South Bend pickup is on Friday nights from 4-6, and our on farm pickup is Saturday morning from 10-noon.
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 will be growing 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

There are two ways to pay and reserve your share for this summer. You can mail a check to the farm with your payment (2030 Bakertown Rd. Buchanan, MI 49107), or you can pay with a card online using Square with an additional 3% processing fee. If you are mailing your payment, please include your name, address, and phone number in the envelope. If you would prefer to pay in monthly installments, please email us (produce@upstreamfarm.com) and let us know and we will be happy to do that as well.
We also offer a work for your share option where you would work a set amount of hours in exchange for your membership. If you are interested in learning more about this, email us and we'll explain how it would work.
