Houston's First & Largest Community Supported Agriculture Farm (CSA)
Although we are Houston's first and largest Community Supported Agriculture
(CSA) farm, we are NOT into being BIG. In fact, we are currently focusing on our committed members by serving them the highest quality 100%
local food available. We recognize the we CANNOT feed ALL of Houston...
Instead, we work
to feed a small community who is committed with us in restoring our local
food system, for the health of all involved. CLICK HERE FOR A DETAILED MAP >> WHAT IS A CSA? Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a direct connection to your farmer. In support of clean locally produced food we develop a relationship with our community and our land. We create a unique opportunity for families to receive a weekly share of seasonal produce harvested fresh from our farm. We share a commitment with our members and hope for a bountiful harvest worth celebrating.
We use Farmigo to process our new share members. On Farmigo you will create a unique account, be able to track and make payments, shop in our Farm Store and renew your subscription in a few easy steps! Commitment and payment are on a seasonal basis. We do this because we need to know how many shareholders to grow for. New accounts will be placed on hold for 7 days. This gives us time to process your account. You will receive your share on the closest delivery date for your designated host site after the 7 day hold. CLICK HERE TO JOIN ONLINE >>WHAT IS THE COST? Members commit for a year and pay $28-31/week, depending upon the drop-site for a 30 week share. Some months there may be a few weeks with no delivery (Aug-Oct and Jan-Feb.). Our goal is to deliver 30+ weeks per year, and your commitment makes this work possible. If you JOIN in the middle of a season, your fee will be different according to the time of year. View the Harvest Chart to better understand seasonal availability. PAYMENT OPTIONS: You can pay for the entire year up-front or in 3 installments covering each season in advance. Payments are due the first of Jan., April, and August. Checks only please. WHERE DO WE DELIVER? This is a community building effort: In order to keep prices as low as possible, we have organized dropsites throughout the Houston Area to serve multiple local communities all within 80 miles from our farm. These dropsites have become supporting networks of like minded individuals concerned about their family's health, the local environment and our local economies (that's what a TRUE CSA is all about). For 30+ weeks during the season we deliver to these locations...
WHAT WILL MEMBERS RECEIVE? You will receive at least 6 to 10 different types of vegetables and herbs each week during the growing seasons. Our farm grows a large variety with a focus on unique and nutritious heirloom vegetables. Our purpose is to provide the freshest, chemical-free produce harvested within 12 hours of delivery. View the Harvest Chart or FAQ to have a better idea of what is seasonally available. MEMBER'S FARM STORE... By working with other local farms that are 100% committed to our "righteous food standards", our CSA members can order online sustainably raised grass-fed beef, lamb, pastured poultry, artisan cheeses, eggs, local olive oil to be delivered each week with their shares! Your ultimate RIGHTEOUS FOOD connection makes an impact to support our local farmers and ranchers! WHAT IF I’M OUT OF TOWN ONE WEEK?Please let us know so that we can provide more food for our other members, or we recommend that you find someone who is able to take your share. The garden still grows and we still need to harvest. If you so choose, any shares not picked-up will be donated in your name. THE WAITING LIST...Each season is planned in advanced and there is limited space available. Membership is available first-come, first-served until we are full. If farm membership or a specific drop site is currently full for the season, EMAIL US to get on the Waiting List. You will be contacted when a space or next season becomes available. HOW DO I GET YOUR CSA DELIVERED TO MY COMMUNITY? We need a host and at least 15 families. To learn how to develop a drop-site in your community, please read this article... BRINGING LOCAL FOOD TO YOUR COMMUNITY.
