farmbelly FALL CSA
The team at Farmbelly loves sharing boxes of the freshest + most beautiful vegetable goodness for your tables each week!
Our Fall CSA session runs for 12 weeks, starting the week of September 5th through the week of November 21st. CSAs are an incredible way to support your local farmers, as it's a commitment to sharing in the rewards (and the risks) that come with small-scale, diversified growing.

CSA SHARE SIZES:
We offer two different CSA share sizes:
REGULAR SHARE – Our regular share includes 7-8 seasonal produce items. This size is recommended for households of 1-4 people who like to eat their veggies! You may also consider splitting a regular share with a friend, family member, or co-worker. Regular shares are valued at $30 per week (total of $360 for the 12-week session, paid in full when you sign up. Payment plans are available, just send me an email and we will make a plan that works for you). Please note that there is an additional $10 service fee for regular shares purchased online, to cover our processing fees.
SMALL SHARE – Our small share includes 5-6 seasonal produce items, sometimes in smaller quantities than our regular share. This size is recommended for 1-2 people / small households who don’t cook as often. Small shares are valued at $18 per week (total of $216 for the 12-week session, paid in full when you sign up. Payment plans are available, just send me an email and we will make a plan that works for you).

CSA FAQs
What does CSA mean? CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture” and is a model pioneered by Dr. Booker T. Whatley, who was an African American horticulturist, author, and Tuskegee University Professor of Agriculture. In a CSA, community members support small farmers throughout the growing season, sharing in the risks and rewards of growing good food, and helps bring people closer to where their food comes from!
Is Farmbelly organic? While we are not Certified Organic by the USDA (due to financial/logistical barriers at this time), we grow our produce using 100% organic practices.
What are the dates of the Fall CSA session again? The Fall CSA will run for 12 weeks, starting the week of September 5th through the week of November 21st (ie Thanksgiving week).
How much will the Fall CSA share cost? Regular shares are $30 per week (total of $360 for the 12-week session). Small shares are $18 per week (total of $216 for the 12-week session), paid in full when you sign up. Payment plans are available, just send me an email (michelle@farmbelly.com) and we will make a plan that works for you!
What if I can’t pick up my share one week? If you know you are going to be unable to pick up your share, we encourage you to have a friend, family member, or co-worker take your share. If no one else is available to pick up your share, just let us know and we will donate it to a family in need.
What if I’m not satisfied and want to stop my CSA share? While we will happily work through any issues you may be having, if for whatever reason you need to stop your CSA membership mid-season, we will offer a full refund on a pro-rated basis.
My desire share is sold out. Is there a waitlist? Yes! If your desired share is sold out, please add your name to the waitlist here. We will offer any additional spots that open up in the order in which they are received on the waitlist.
