Summer CSA Membership

Free Choice CSA

Community supported agriculture does not necessarily mean a box of vegetables you don’t like! Our memberships are in dollar amounts. Every week you choose what you want from our market-style pickup.

FLexible Shares

We offer a range of memberships: full or half share value, 15, 20, or 26 weeks, market-style shopping or preordered bags for pickup later. We have something that fits your needs and schedule.

Low cost Options

Members paying with SNAP (EBT) pay half price through CSA is a SNAP. We also offer solidarity shares at a reduced price. We will never turn you away for lack of funds.

share size

Full Share: $36 in vegetables, or around 9-12 items weekly.

If you cannot make all 26 pickups, you can manage yourself to take a double share the following week (or spread it out over multiple weeks).

We offer 20 and 15 week full value shares if you’ll be away often: choose your own off weeks (your season will start on week 2). The more weeks you sign up for, the lower the price per week (see chart).

Half share: $21 in vegetables, around 5-6 items weekly. Runs all 26 weeks.

Pickup

Pickup is on the farm (map). You’ll choose weekday or weekend pickup for the season, May- November.

• Wednesday Pickup: 2:30pm to 6pm from May 29 until November 20.

• Saturday Pickup: 8:30am to 12:30pm from June 1 until November 23.

Pre-Bag Members: order through an online form each week. We’ll pack your bag for pickup anytime after the start of your chosen pickup. This option costs $1 extra per week for additional labor and inputs. Bags can be picked up after hours.

Market-Style Members: shop from our market display, totaling the value to meet your share amount. If market-style customers need to order a bag for late pickup occasionally, use the order form up to 2 times per season.

Why choose Tributary Farm?

Taste

Nutritionally dense, harvested fresh, long lasting produce. Joining a CSA allows you to try new delicious varieties that you won’t find in your local supermarket. Each week you’ll get vegetables of the highest quality.

Community Supported

We strive to offer a flexible membership, but we believe in the model of community supported agriculture. Your commitment to the season with us is valuable to us! We have financial support we need early in the season and over time we’ve built a relationship with you, our neighbors. We’ve been able to hone in on what we grow well as well as what you’d like to eat most, while building our community with mutual support.

Value and flexibility

For a full season share you pay $34 per week but receive at least $36 in spending power each week. We usually have 10-20 items to choose from each week and during bountiful times we give away extras. You can choose the produce you want, in the amounts that you want, for pickup in a number of ways.

Variety

We grow over 40 types of vegetables, with many varieties within each crop. Please see this link for our produce calendar by crop with projected monthly availability. We maintain a balance year-round so you’ll always have some greens, some roots, and some special items of the moment.

Extras

We make our own pestos, soups and jams with our farm produce, and carry local mushrooms, eggs, flowers, and meat. Fresh bread, baked goods, honey, syrup, and more will all be for sale at pickups.

perks

Included in the cost of your share are: pick-your-own flowers, herbs, and vegetables that are free of charge when available. Stroll around the farm and have a picnic anytime during business hours. We will hold events for members at least once per season and hopefully more! Occasionally we offer volunteer opportunities if you want to get your hands dirty.
