What is a Farm Box Subscription (formally CSA)?

Dive into local agriculture with The Farm Box Subscription. Your subscription brings together a community of members who support the farm by purchasing a subscription before the growing season begins. By paying in advance, members help cover planting and production costs, and in return receive a share of the harvest throughout the season. Members share both the risks—such as weather-related crop losses—and the benefits, enjoying fresh, seasonal produce and a closer connection to the farm’s work. The model fosters long-term sustainability for the farm and builds a direct, transparent relationship between growers and eaters.

How can I tell if the subscription is a good choice for me and my family?

Review our “Farm Box Subscription Quiz” in the drop down menu of the dashboard above to see if this option is a good fit for you!

Do I get to choose the vegetables that are included in the box?

In our box, the farmer selects the vegetables that are ripe for harvest. At times past seasons have allowed us to offer limited choices — often in herbs, lettuces, and a few other items — but availability depends on what’s at peak freshness when we pack.

What's in an average box

The bi-weekly box contains a wide variety of fresh, seasonal food, approximately 8–10 items. The three staples that define our lineup throughout the season are various greens, root vegetables and herbs(and we usually include various microgreens). Bunches are comparable in size to those found in a grocery store. Our goal is to provide you with top-quality produce in quantities you can actually use. The box is designed to help you with your family menu by eating in season fresh food without waste.

When does the subscription start and how long does it last?

The Farm Box dates are tentatively Mid-May through September.

Will I know what will be in my box in advance?

You will receive an email a couple of days before each pickup showing what to expect that delivery. Each delivery is a box brimming with vibrant colors and earthy scents of the season-crispy greens, tender microgreens, fragrant herbs-all selected to bring variety, nutrition and the unique taste that only comes from truly fresh, local food. We often include one or two simple recipes to help you make the most of the box. Because farming depends on weather, pests, and other variables, contents may change at the last minute — which sometimes adds a pleasant surprise to your farm box.

What if I can’t pick up my share during the allotted time?  Or, what if I'm on vacation?

It is important to find a way to get your share during the allotted time frame. If you cannot pickup your share, we suggest sending a friend or family member in your place. Due to storage restraints, we cannot guarantee that the farm box will be available outside of the stated pickup time.  Communication is the key factor so that we can respect each other's schedules. Another option is to give to a “family in need” and we would be more than happy to provide that service.

I grow my own garden so why would I subscribed?

That’s great that you grow your own produce! Our farm box is designed to complement your garden — perfect for the gaps when something isn’t ready or after a big harvest. We grow a wide variety of vegetables so you can explore new flavors and varieties you might not have tried yet. Use the box to extend your season, fill in missing items for recipes, or discover a new favorite to plant next year.

Can I split a share with someone?

Absolutely yes!  You work out the details and just communicate with us who is paying and who is picking up. In previous years, we had several members that teamed up with their extended families. It worked out great for everyone involved!

Is there a risk for Members?

While we have been growing vegetables for many years, we cannot control the weather or other factors (pests!). Weather can have a detrimental impact on our crops. As members, you share both the blessing and the risk of growing food. We are committed to doing our best to provide you with healthy, abundant weekly produce boxes. We will communicate with you promptly if there are any negative impacts on our farm.

How do I become a Member?

First, make sure you take the quiz on the Farm Box Subscription dropdown menu to confirm we’re a good fit for you. Then email us at thegoodmanfarms@gmail.com and we will send a contract for you to review for the season.
