Sales Direct to You
If you can't make the Farmers' Market, we are happy to pick produce for you and bring it directly to your home, at a time that's convenient for you, anywhere within a one hour drive of Shaltz Farm. We add a $1/delivery surcharge to the cost of the vegetables, to cover our gas. If you are interested in this service, please contact us and let us know what you are interested in buying.
Mini Community Supported Agriculture
We can also run a sort of mini CSA. What's a CSA? It stands for Community Supported Agriculture. In essence, it's contracting with a farmer to produce vegetables, meats, eggs, flowers, etc, and paying in advance for that service. This helps the farmer cover the cost of her seeds early in the year before there is any income from sales.
Here's how it works:
- By the end of November, you let us know what kinds of vegetables and in what quantity you would like to receive in the following calendar year.
- By January 1st, we will let you know which vegetables we can provide, and will bill you approximately $100 per adult portion, $50 per child (5-12 years of age, under 5 free) portion of our weekly harvest. Prices are subject to change, based on varieties desired and how challenging they are to grow.
- After receipt of your payment, we will begin growing the vegetables you have requested.
- Beginning about the first week of May, you will receive weekly portions of our produce. Early on, these will be limited to lettuce, radishes, and other cool-season, fast-growing crops. Later in the season you will receive larger quantities of a large variety of vegetables.
- The growing season will end in late September with winter squashes and some root vegetables, for a total of about 20 weeks of farm-fresh produce.
- If you wish your produce to be delivered to your home, we will charge an additional $20 per family for delivery on a weekly basis.
- For information about egg shares, lamb shares, pork shares, or flower shares, see those respective pages on our website.
