CSA POLICIES: THE MEMBER/FARMER AGREEMENT

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a relationship between farmers and eaters. It's a step beyond just buying vegetables. When you sign up for the Farmdog Veggies CSA, you're paying in advance for your share of the farm's harvest. You're also taking on part of the risk of planting, growing, and tending to crops. Farming is unpredictable. We can't guarantee there won't be variations in the quality and quantity of the produce we're able to harvest, depending on circumstances that are beyond our control.

In return for your support, we're excited to grow the very best vegetables we can for you. Each week, we'll share recipes, ideas, and inspiration to help you in the kitchen. We consider the CSA to be much more than a way to sell vegetables. CSA members are an extended part of the farm. If you're a new member, we hope to meet you, get to know you, and have you out to the farm. You're the fuel that keeps this farm running.

When you join our CSA, you're agreeing to these terms:

  • The 2021 season is 25 weeks of fresh, naturally-grown produce, starting on June 1st, 2021 and ending on November 16th, 2021.
     

  • It’s a great benefit to us for CSA members to pay for a full season share upfront so we offer discounts: the value of each box is $30 per week, which equals $750 for the season, but upfront payment discounts are as follows:

    Full Share: 25 boxes = $650 ($26 each)

    Seasonal Share: 9 boxes = $260 ($28.90 each)

    Monthly Share: 4 or 5 boxes = ($30 each)
     

  • We plant over 50 types of vegetables each year for CSA members. Each week's CSA box will typically contain 7 items, enough to feed 1-3 people, depending on how serious they are about vegetables.

  • If you live in the Fox Run or Woodmont neighborhood we’ll deliver to you free of charge or you can pick up at the Farm! For our friends in Louisville, we offer two pick-up locations: 1909 Sils Avenue in the Highlands and 277 Pope Street in Clifton. Pick-ups will be available on Tuesdays from 1-7 pm.

  • You're responsible for picking up your share every week, or designating someone else to pick up your share for you. (In that case, please make sure they know the pickup location hours, and also know to only take the box labeled with your name.)
     

  • If you're going out of town or will be otherwise unable to pick up your share, please notify us no later than one week before the pick-up. We will hold your box that week. You can request a double box for a future delivery.
     

  • If you miss a pick-up (without scheduling a vacation hold beforehand), then the box is forfeited and the pick-up host will donate or share your box. This is because our pick-up locations are usually members' porches, and they would prefer not to have people showing up at all hours of the night. (If you're going to be just a little late to pick up your box, you can text the site host to let them know.)
     

  • Cancellations: if you need to cancel your subscription, email us at  farmdog.veggies@gmail.com. If you cancel your subscription after the first delivery, then we will issue a refund on a pro-rated basis.
     

  • Refunds: if you are dissatisfied with the CSA for any reason and would like to cancel, then we will issue a refund on a pro-rated basis.
