CSA Membership
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a relationship between our farm and those interested in receiving the freshest certified organic produce available. Rather than simply purchasing food, our customers become members of our farm who receive a portion of the farm’s harvest each week during our main harvest season.

Our Low-Waste Commitment
In our effort to make our operation as eco-friendly as possible, we introduced reusable totes and bags to our CSA four seasons back. It was a huge step forward and one we continue to refine. All totes and produce bags are sanitized in industrial strength hydrogen peroxide.
We are no longer using a deposit system for totes and sincerely request that members return any totes and reusable bags to us at the end of the season. In previous seasons, members have been very considerate of this and we feel confident in your support.
Common questions
What can i expect in a csa box each week?
Your weekly box will be a reflection of what we're harvesting each week. Each box has about 10 different varieties of veggies and herbs, with staple items (i.e. lettuces, herbs, garlic, kale, etc) repeating often. We occasionally partner with other local growers (who are also committed to "beyond organic" practices) to provide our CSA members with unique items we don't grow. Each week's box feeds 1-2 people, depending on how much you love vegetables (and cook at home).
How Do I get home delivery?
We have partnered with Reno Mobile Market to bring the convenience of home delivery back. You are welcome to prepay for this service to have your box automatically routed for home delivery each week, or you can opt to buy home delivery week by week, via our online store. While we love seeing you at the market, or at our convenient Co-op pick up location, we know how helpful it can be to just have your local harvest land right on your doorstep. Huge shout out to Reno Mobile Market (a local nonprofit) for helping us pull this off!
Why Would i pay so far in advance for my veggies?
It might seem strange to purchase "your share" of veggies months ahead of the time they're even ready for harvest. Doing so ensures you a spot on our CSA, which has a tendency to fill up before the season begins, but it also plays an important role in supporting your local farmers. We make all of the big purchases for our season in the winter in order to be able to bring you fresh deliciousness in the late spring and summer. That's why CSA stands for "community supported agriculture." Huge government
subsidies don't support small organic farms — people
in our community do.
Are half or split boxes available?
While half CSAs (or split boxes) aren't available, we encourage those interested in a smaller weekly harvest to find a person to split your CSA with each week. A neighbor, friend, or family member might be interested in some ultra fresh local produce
as much as you are.
Can I see Where My Veggies Are Grown?
Why yes! We host a special, CSA Member-Only Farm Tour during our CSA Season. It's our members' opportunity to see exactly where and how their food is grown, and to meet the sweet folks bringing them the harvests!

CSA Box Weekly Pick Up
CSA Members are responsible for picking up their CSA share from their chosen site during the times listed. If you cannot pick up your CSA share for any reason, you may send someone to pick it up for you instead. Going on vacation? Have a friend or neighbor experience the delicious vitality of truly farm-fresh food!
left-behind boxes
If a CSA member fails to pick up their weekly share, these left-behind boxes of produce will be donated to those who don't normally have access to farm-fresh, organic produce.
pick-up location change
If you need to change your pick-up location, you must inform Prema Farm (at info@premafarm.com) at least 3 days before your scheduled pick-up day. This notice is necessary for us to reorganize where your CSA share is stored and delivered.
refund policy
If you need to cancel your CSA membership, we require notice via email (to info@premafarm.com) at least 2 weeks before your stop date. Members will only receive a refund of the remaining weeks and not for the time prior to their stop date.
CSA means shared Risks/rewards
All CSA members share in the risks and rewards of the farm. At Prema Farm, we promise to do our best to provide you with a bountiful share each week, but the quantity of produce can vary from week-to-week due to extreme weather, overwhelming pests, or other production factors despite our best efforts. In the unlikely event of a crop failure, your CSA share will be supplemented with other crops grown on the farm that are ready for harvest at that time.
OUR 2023 CSA IS CLOSED FOR NEW MEMBERS.
PLEASE CHECK BACK IN JANUARY 2024!
