What Is A CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. When you become a member of a CSA you buy a 'share' of a farmers harvest/products at the beginning of that season. You pay for the share upfront. This upfront payment helps farmers with the start of season costs and guarantees you the products delivered throughout the season. Shares are delivered and picked up at pre-arranged locations once a month. Currently we offer two (summer & winter) CSA terms at 6-months each.

How Does It Work?
Payment: We have two payment options for our CSA shares. The first option is full payment due when your contract is submitted. The second option is half payment due when your contract is submitted, and the remaining half payment is due upon pickup of your first CSA share. Please email us to request pricing and a contract. Pick Ups: You will pick up your share at a pre-arranged location during a set time frame. Your contract will list the pick up locations available during that term. Pickup locations will vary depending on the season. We will have your CSA bagged and ready for quick and convenient pick ups so you can easily stop in on your way home from work or in between errands. Each pick up can take a little as 30 seconds or you can stay and chat with us while the other customers pick up their items. We are generally at each pick up for about 20 minutes. Currently we offer four pick up locations: Raymore, Lee's Summit, South KC (martin city) & KCMO (midtown). |

What Would I Receive In My CSA?
Each month you will receive a mixture of our products: beef, pork, chicken, and/or turkey. The variety of products you receive will depend on the current CSA term contract (summer or winter) and what products are available at that time. Your monthly bag is filled using a dollar amount value. Meaning, we will fill your bag with a variety of our products that total to a value of around $100.00-$110.00, per month. This dollar amount may fluctuate from summer to winter terms and is affected by the products we have in stock during that season. Below is an example of what you might receive in one month of your CSA bag. You will receive a variety of our products throughout the 6-month CSA share. These offering may change depending on time of year and product availability. Email us for a current term contract. |
