….Farming is perpetual motion, and our CSA members keep our wheels moving toward the future.
By purchasing one of our CSA shares, you become an early investor in Balsam Farms’ coming season at a time when it is most needed: While we transition from one growing season to the next. In the cold weather “gap”— between late fall and early spring—the revenue from your CSA membership directly translates into Balsam Farms buying better tools, sourcing the best seeds, and investing in the health of our soil. Since a CSA membership is a contribution ahead of the harvest, it also means that you are prepaying for a portion of Balsam Farms’ bounty to come.
When the CSA season arrives, you will receive a weekly selection of our freshest-from-the-field produce—the vast majority of which will be grown in accordance with the same OMRI guidelines followed by certified organic farms. On top of this, you will receive a weekly newsletter replete with recipes and information on the contents of your share and, when you shop in-person during CSA pick-up windows, you’ll get an additional 10% off Balsam Farms produce!
Although share values will vary from week to week, the items included in your share over the course of the season will have a retail value far greater than what you paid for your membership. And, when it comes down to it, we hope there is a “value-added” feeling that goes along with your experience, too; the satisfaction of knowing that when you purchased your CSA membership you directly nurtured the earliest moments of the harvest nourishing you.
