2025 FALL CSA - MARKET STYLE

ENJOY AN ABUNDANCE OF CGF-grown, FRESH VEGGIES THIS FALL

While we are known for our U-Pick CSA and hold it dear in our hearts, we know that not everyone is able to spend an hour harvesting their share every week. Last year was our first year offering a more traditional CSA during the fall, and we’re bringing it back this year by popular demand! Early fall is, in our humble farm opinion, one the best times of year for vegetables. We still have summer favorites like tomatoes and peppers hanging on, while we start to bring in the first of our fall greens and root veggies.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The farmers will do the work of harvesting the veggies, herbs, and flowers each week. We’ll greet you as you come to the farm to pick-up your share and give you a run down of what’s available. We’ll display the produce market-style, that way you can pick which veggies and herbs you’d like to take home.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR SHARE:

Every week, you’ll take home 6-8 different farm-fresh veggies. On top of that (and subject to availability), members can take home 1 bouquet of field flowers (8 stems) and 1 bundle of fresh herbs. Below is a list of crops we are planning to grow this fall.

• Beets

• Carrots

• Cauliflower

• Chard

• Cherry Tomatoes

• Cucumbers

• Eggplant

• Green Beans

• Heirloom Tomatoes

• Kale

• Kohlrabi

• Lettuce

ADD-ONS: EGGS, FRUITS, MUSHROOMS

This year, we are expanding our offerings and piloting a CSA add-on program! Each week, we plan to offer additional items from local, neighboring farms including eggs, fruits, and mushrooms. We’ll send out more information to members in the spring about purchasing CSA add-ons.

Dates: 

September 3rd - October 11th (6 weeks)

PICK-UP WINDOWS:

Wednesdays 4:00pm - 6:00pm OR

Saturdays 11:00am - 1:00pm

Cost:

• $162 ($27/week for 6 weeks)

PAYMENT:

We offer two ways to cover the cost of your Fall CSA membership: paying in full upfront, or applying for a work share membership.

Purchase in Full

Paying the full price of your CSA membership upfront greatly helps our farm- it provides financial security for us as we purchase the seeds, compost, supplies, and equipment necessary for production.

The last date to purchase a Fall CSA membership in full is September 1, 2025. Payable either on our online storefront or by mailing a check to PO Box 148, Beacon NY 12508 with “U-Pick 2025” in the memo line.

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept payment plans for just our Fall CSA. However, if you sign up for the combination U-Pick CSA and Fall CSA before February 28th, 2025, we can set you up with a payment plan (with payments occurring once a month for 4 months). See our U-Pick CSA webpage for more information.

Work Share

For folks who are interested in getting their hands dirty and helping out with field work, we offer a work share CSA membership. Work share members get their weekly share of veggies, herbs, and flowers in exchange for working with the farmers in the fields. No prior farming experience is required. We will train you and work alongside you in the fields. We have 15 work share spots open for the 2025 season. Please note: your application does not guarantee you a spot in our CSA. We will get back to you no later than February 28 , 2024 in regards to your application status. For more information on required hours and shift times, navigate to the application form below.

Refund Policy:

A full refund (minus a $25 processing fee) is available upon request prior to Sept 1, 2025, after which no refunds will be granted.
