For summer and fall of 2018, Sweetwater Farms will be trialing a CSA Program. CSA stands for "Community Supported Agriculture." CSA programs link farms and communities by allowing customers to prepay for produce that will then be available to them in monthly installments throughout the season. The prepayment provides the farm with the funds needed to start and maintain the crops until they begin to produce and sell.
Our CSA Program will offer a limited number of spots for this year as we trial out the program. Customers will receive produce in monthly installments during July, August, September and October. Each installment will contain at least $20 of produce. The produce in each monthly batch will vary based on what is ready for picking that month. Your batch could include everything from carrots, lettuce, and squash, to bell peppers, tomatoes and eggplant.
Feel free to split your allotment with another family or friend. Splitting orders should be done after payment and pickup as we are unable to accept payment from both parties and split the order for pickup.
Customers will be notified when each month's produce box is ready for pickup. Pickup can be made at the farm or from the roadside stand. We can deliver to local addresses for a fee if needed.
The cost to join the CSA Program will be $80. Payment can be made in cash, or through PayPal or Zelle. Payment is due by June 15, 2018 to be part of the program. We will offer discounted enrollment at $75 if signed up by May 25.
Hot pepper lovers can purchase the Hot Pepper Add-On, which will add our hottest peppers to your monthly box. Hot peppers will include a mix of Habanero, Cayenne, Devil's Tongue, Scotch Bonnet, Trinidad Scorpion, Ghost or Carolina Reaper. The Add-On can be purchased individually for each month for $5, or $15 for all four months.
