What is CSA?
CSA is Community Supported Agriculture. Our farm utilizes this approach.
Deeper roots:
CSA is a model where a farm accepts members into the farm. A direct relationship between the community of members and their farmers is established. The relationship includes an upfront payment from the member, and a commitment from the farmers to grow for that member for an entire season in return.
At Little Pond Farm, our CSA serves the community of St. Pete, Florida. The upfront payment allows for a portion of the farm’s start-of-season operating costs to be shared by the farm members. In return for their commitment, members receive membership perks for the 34 week harvest season.
In short – our members receive the best price on organic produce from us (10% discount at the market, flower punch cards, and seasonal specials) for an entire season of farmers market shopping.
Deeper benefits – Members choose to support their own health through a small commitment to eating organic vegetables through the season. Plus – members participate in growing a healthier planet by supporting local organic farming.
We encourage farmers market shoppers that are ready to take their love of local organic food to the next level to become farm members.
How?
We accept members year-round.
Membership is $40 for the season. The membership perks activate immediately and last through the end of May.
Our members are the heartbeat of our farm.
So, we encourage you to learn more about what membership could mean for you and your family. And if you think you might be ready to make that commitment, make a plan to join!
