It's true. We've decided to do a CSA this year, with pickups to be held at our booth at the Schlafly Farmer's Market. We're doing things a little differently than how typical CSAs are set up: We are offering shares in more affordable tiers of $500, $200, or $100. This is structured so that you get to enjoy our specialty produce and still have enough money in your pockets to spend throughout the farmer's market. It also serves as a great introductory CSA plan if you're a newbie to CSAs, if you're hesitant to sign up for one based on expense, or if you're afraid you'd waste unused produce.
There are roughly 30 market days at Schlafly from April-October. Our $500 share provides for pickups of items at nearly every market date, with the value of each pickup being $18-$20. The $200 share allows for half the number of pickups (to be set up, for example, every other week, or however you like), with $15-$17 as the value of each pickup. The $100 share provides a small taste of the items we offer, with pickups valued at around $8. It won't be enough produce to fill the fridge, but it'll provide a great opportunity to sample and try our unique items.
