HOW IT WORKS

A CSA Share is a subscription service (like the newspaper - but for delicious food). You sign up in advance, and then we assemble a collection of organic produce, meat and eggs for you to pick up on a weekly or every-other-weekly basis.  We offer a Summer Share (June-Oct) and a Three Season Share (May-Dec), and accept both up front payment and payment in automatic installments.

WHAT YOU GET

Our full-diet CSA share is a direct reflection of all the fantastic culinary diversity New York State has to offer. Letterbox Farm provides the herbs, flowers, you-pick veggies, eggs, poultry and pork and we source the rest from an ever-growing list of esteemed regional farms. Thanks to the magic of collaboration, our weekly share includes:

  • Organic Vegetables & Greens: 5-7 per share

  • Pasture Raised Eggs: 1 dozen per week

  • Flowers, Herbs, Medicinals & Snacking Veggies: From our ever-expanding you-pick garden

  • Seasonal, Local Fruit: 1-2 items, peridodically throughout the season

  • *Fresh* Chicken, Steelhead Trout & Lox: As is never frozen! Available by choice using the flex credit system, May-October (available frozen November/December)

  • Pasture Raised Pork, Beef & Lamb: Available by choice, using the flex credit system

  • Mushrooms & Other Special Items: Such as our scratch made chicken pot pies, slow simmered bone broths, quiches & more. Available by choice, using the flex credit system


SHARE TYPES

We offer a variety of seasonal memberships. Our three-season members stay with us for the whole growing season, May-December.  They receive the biggest price discount and access to fantastic produce, meat and eggs far beyond the usual CSA and market season.  In addition, we offer a classic summer share, June-October, and a fall share, October-December.

Memberships are available on weekly or bi-weekly basis.

Our standard payment method is by online bank transfer, a secure, no-cost, and hassle-free way to pay. Credit / debit cards may also be used, but invoices paid by this method will include a 3% online transaction charge to cover the credit card fees. We will follow up with an easy online payment form for all payment options and methods, within two weeks of completing our signup form below.


VACATION POLICY

Our staffed on-farm CSA pickup window will Thursdays from 4-7pm, however members are also welcome to pickup their shares, self-serve, anytime between 10am-7pm on Fridays & Saturdays, and 10am-5pm on Sundays.  If you need to miss a week entirely, you can send a friend to pick up your share.  You can choose to gift just your produce (and redeem your meat and eggs another week) or gift the whole thing.  It's a wonderful way to "share your share" and bring newcomers in to the world of local food.

If you miss a week and are unable to find a friend to pickup your share, you are welcome to stop by the farm any Sunday, between 5 and 7 pm to help yourself to one of the remaining shares that were not picked up by other members, if there are any. Typically, a handful of members each week miss their share, so there will most likely be an extra share for folks who have missed one previously, however we cannot make any guarantees. If there is no extra share when you arrive, you are welcome to try again another Sunday. We have found that this self-regulating system between members to be a highly effective way to make sure everyone has the ability to get 100% of their CSA shares, even if they miss a scheduled pickup from time to time!
