What is a CSA Share

Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is an intentional relationship between the folks who grow food and the folks who eat it.

A CSA share is more than a veggie delivery service. When you become a member of our community, we commit to using the most sustainable methods to produce the most delicious and good-for-you veggies, in return for a season-long commitment from you, our valued share member. 

This means you are guaranteed a bountiful supply of healthful, local, organic produce at a lower price than shopping at the farmers' market

Customizable Baskets

We now offer customizable boxes!  

We grow over 50 varieties of fruits and veggies to create diverse and delicious boxes. Rather than forcing you to take what we have, we're now letting you customize your own box!! 

How it works: 

On Fridays, we create a "standard box" for everyone. Once you receive the email with what's in your share you can log into your account and switch out anything in your box with whatever else we have loaded onto the online store. For example, if you don't want kale, you can trade it for another bunch of carrots. If you prefer eggplants, you can switch out your lettuce for a unit of eggplant. 

 

Credits: 

We issue credits every week. This year you will get 14 credits to work with. each credit is worth $3.21. An then we assign each vegetable a number of credits. One bunch of Kale will be 1 Credit, a head of lettuce will be 1 credit, while a quart of carrots will be worth 2. If you trade in a quart of carrots you will have 2 credits to work with and could get a bunch of green onions and a head lettuce. 

Depending on the availability, we may change the portion size of say tomatoes from one credit to 2. You will recieve more tomatoes if you're paying 2 credits. 
 

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRADE!

If you're busy and are totally fine with what we've put in your basket, that's great! Ignore our emails and simply go to your pickup to get your vegetables, like previous years! 

What to expect in your share/online store: 

The season starts with lots of greens and a little bit of summer fruits (zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes) but after 2 or three weeks it quickly ramps up and the harvest starts coming in abundance. So the first 2-3 weeks are still wonderful but you will have less options (ie. limited tomato and cucumber quantities, more greens!)

This is the fair year our family has participated in a CSA share and we love it. The CSA has enabled our family to increase its vegetable consumption significantly and this is directly due to the amazing taste and quality of the vegetables. We will definitely be bask next year.

I really do like tomatoes and Roots and Shoots grows yummy & juicy tomatoes. I eat them raw, in grilled cheese and in tomato sauce. Look at how bug this tomato is! I like them really big!

We look forward to our Roots and Shoots farm share every 2 weeks. It’s nice knowing where our delicious and nutritious veggies come from; as well as getting to meet the smiling faces that hemp to grow them. It has been an awesome way to learn and discover new foods.

I started as a customer due to an oral allergy syndrome. Due to the fact that the veggies are so super fresh, I have not had any symptoms! I eat more veggies now then I ever have!
