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.

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).   

 

WhY IS THERE NO HOME DELIVERY THIS YEAR?

Home Delivery was a service we rapidly created in response to the pandemic in 2020, but it is beyond the scope of our operations and strained our farm to keep it available through 2021. The details are tedious, but the good news is that Riverside Farmers Market is working on being able to offer home delivery for its offerings, so there may just end up being a home delivery option for our CSA come summer. Be sure to be on our email list to get this update when we have it.

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!

READY TO JOIN OUR 2022 cSA?

CSA Box HOME DELIVERY

While we are not able to provide private delivery service to our CSA members this year, we are actively working on an option for members to have delivery via Riverside Farmers Market. If the market is able to begin offering home delivery service, all CSA members will be notified of this option and how to enact it for the Prema CSA.

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.
