  • **Farm work information: Members can choose to spend time working on the farm for a set number of hours per season based on their share size (8hrs=Full, 6hrs=Medium, 4hrs=Half) to receive the share discount ($15/hour). If the pledged hours are not worked by the end of the season members agree to pay off balance financially.
Anchor Run Farm's CSA Style:
We're a traditional CSA-only farm so 100% of our produce and effort is devoted to our members.
  • CSA Members can choose which size share best satisfies their needs: Full, Medium, or Half.
    • Full Shares pick up an average of 8-12lbs and 10-15 items weekly. Half Shares pick up a Full Share every other week. Medium Shares pick up 2/3 of a Full Share weekly, approximately 6-9lbs and 8-12 items. Weights and number of varieties peak in summer when those crops are most plentiful and could top out at 20lbs when tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and watermelon are yielding well.
    • We offer on-farm pick up on 3 separate days each week during the Main Season (Tue 1-8pm, Thu 1-8pm, Sat 10am-12pm).
    • Members may switch pick up days or weeks if they miss or are on vacation (please e-mail us prior to date to reschedule).
    • Included with each share size for the Main Season is the option to participate in farm work to receive a price discount.
  • On pick up days freshly harvested and washed produce is displayed in bins in the pick up room for you to collect and select exactly what you want.
    • Options and amounts are specified on harvest boards directly behind the produce.
    • Universally loved items such as tomatoes, onions, carrots, lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, zucchini, berries, melons etc. are typically given to all members.
    • More unique items such as kohlrabi, dandelion greens, turnips, herbs, etc. are given as choices so you can select what you want.
    • Ultimately we strive to give you as much choice as possible.
  • Included with each share is a portion that the farmers freshly harvest and wash on your pick up day; the other portion of the share is U-Pick: items that you yourself can collect from the field.
    • The farm is open to members to collect their u-pick allotment 8am-8pm Mon-Sun of their pick up week if time isn't available or there is inclement weather on your scheduled pick up day. Amounts are specified and containers are available.
    • These items are intentionally planted together in fields closest to the pick up room and parking lot and typically include strawberries, peas, green/snap/string beans, tomatillos, husk cherries, edamame, herbs, flowers, raspberries, and blackberries.
    • There is a map in the pick up room as well as signs in the field so you know exactly where to go for your produce.
  • When you create an account and sign up for a share you're registering yourself as the 'primary' share owner and contact person, but you may have someone else pick up your produce for you or with you (friend, family member, etc). Others may also help you complete your work discount. You can even add names and e-mails to your account through your members page (under 'member services' on left side, scroll down).

  • As a CSA member, you receive a share of the farm harvest each week. All of the produce we grow is for our CSA members. We have a predetermined, finite number of CSA members and we design our crop plan to meet the produce needs of our membership with a built in margin for error. Membership is intentionally limited; we've been fortunate to sell out each year.
  • Members receive a satisfyingly diverse array of produce each week including crowd pleasing staples as well as unique crops and varieties. When there are bumper yields of items you'll receive that bumper. For example, in addition to the normal weekly allotment, you might receive 10 pounds of tomatoes for a week or two during the peak, watermelon for a month and a half, or 20 pounds of sweet potatoes over a month. Thus, poundage is mostly a minimum and often is exceeded. Our goal is to provide you with more than what you're paying for, to give you as much choice in the pick up room as possible, and to provide you with kitchen staples.
  • The CSA model is meant to be mutually beneficial for members and farmers. Because all of our members pick up at the farm, do u-pick at the farm, and work with us in the fields each season, we have a direct relationship with our members and community. You can come to our monthly potlucks and classes. We work for and with you!
