CSA PROGRAM
Community Support Agriculture (CSA) programs are a popular method of serving the local community while also supporting local agriculture. It's a win-win for everyone! The consumer is able to benefit from receiving fresh produce directly from the farm it's grown on and getting to know the farmer who grew it. Meanwhile, the farmer has the benefit of guaranteed payments, usually paid early so they have working funds at the beginning of the season, they don't have to transport their produce and they get to know their customers well and share with them tips and info about the produce. It's a really great model of community supporting agriculture...hence the name!
We started with a small number of shares in 2009, today we have more than doubled that amount! In order to address the growing number of members and also to offer more flexibility for people, we added a couple of different programs. Our hope is to offer more options thus allowing more people to experience fresh, local food!!

Small share: $250 (Comfortably feeds 2-3 people. A typical bag might be: 4-5 carrots, half of a large cabbage, 2-3 zucchini, 4-5 beets, 6 ears of corn, 1lb tomatoes and 1/2lb bag of green beans)

We also offer add-on items for the CSAs! We offer a meat add-on and also a coffee bean add-on each week! It’s super easy to add these to your weekly pick-up by filling out the form we send each week. Then when we pack your bags, we’ll add-in your extras and you can either pay at pick up or Venmo us! One stop shopping at its finest!
2) Fall Harvest Share: We are offering a 4 week share in September/October. These bags will be loaded with all the wonderful fall harvest crops. We focus on providing you with lots of storage crops to help you get through the winter. If you have a summer share, you can add this on for 14 full weeks of fresh produce. Maybe you’re going to be traveling most of the summer? This is a great way to still get in on the fresh produce of Turner Farms! The pick-up for this share will be on Mondays from September -October. This is an exceptional value and it is very popular with our customers!
