CSA share options
2023 CSA seasons Spring : March 30 - June 15 Summer: June 22 - September 7 Fall : September 14 - November 30 (We will do a Tuesday delivery for the week of Thanksgiving this year) We are offering a weekly CSA share running three 12-week seasons for a total of 36 weeks. Each week we will harvest an assortment of vegetables from our farm and put together a share for you and our other CSA members. All food in your share will be grown by us and on our land following the practices mentioned in our mission statement. We had to increase our price a little due to the increasing price of seeds and supplies over the last year. Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions about this! Half Share (1-2 people): $385 per season Full Share (3-4 people, or 1-2 strict vegetarians): $720 per season *Delivery fee to El Portal, Yosemite Valley, and Foresta is an extra $6 / week *Delivery fee to Midpines and Bootjack $3/week *Delivery fee to Jerseydale and Lushmeadows is an extra $4/week *The price above is for one season only If for some reason we are not able to get you your share one week due to us not being able to reach you because of a natural disaster and/or road closure, we will gladly increase your share size another week to make up for it! We will always do our best to figure out how to get you your food every week. If you will be gone for a week, you can either have us deliver your share someplace else (like a friends place) or we can donate your share. Buying a CSA is not just paying for food. Through the purchase of our CSA you are also investing in:
Pick up/Delivery Thursday delivery to your home or office Saturday pick-up at Merced Farmer's Market 
This is a Full share from April 2015!

What more could you want?" ~Katie~ "Lauren and Andrew are passionate about providing delicious, sustainable food to their community.
