What is a CSA? Fancy word for us Sharing our garden with you, and you helping us out by paying ahead to cover the input costs of the garden–The garden harvest season in the Big Horn Basin starts in July with our first frost around the second week in September. After the frost, cold crops continue into October, with Brussels sprouts and Deadon cabbage the last to be harvested! We start planning in January, plant starting in March, and garden planting in May…
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture–You are the Community of members (participants, shareholders, supporters) and we are the Agriculture (garden, farm, dirt, plants, food…).
Cost to join–$350 for a 13 week Weekly Share, and $200 for a 7 week Leap-Frog Share (every other week). You can tag on an additional 2 weeks in October–$50 more on the Weekly Share, and $25 more on the Leap-Frog Share.
Payment terms are easy–pay upfront before May 5th and get an Early Bird Voucher to use in The Store on Thursday’s at Pick Up. (Voucher is $20 for Weekly, and $10.00 for Leap-Frog.)
