We forage for the fruit. It is as local as possible. Not always organic. Where ever it is from we know the growing practices and the farmer. We know it is fresh and delicious. Often times we do the harvesting ourselves. Every week for 20 weeks add $300* or every other week for 10 weeks add $150*.
1 gallon of local raw cow milk for 20 weeks add $100* or for a half gallon add $50* (very limited shares).
Summer Shares
The most traditional of all the seasons. You do not have to be too adventurous to sign up for this season. Plenty of the main stays that you will recognize and probably have eaten more so then any other season . We still introduce you to and array of healthy new veggies that folks just do not typically eat or find in the store.
Baskets start out light you might see greens,peas ,radishes then it begins to get heavier with beans,cucumbers ,tomatoes and leaves you begging for mercy with eggplant,onions,zucchini pumpkins and winter squash.

Rather volunteer for a CSA share ?
Each season we accept a limited number of volunteers for our “Volunteer for Veggies Program”
Not limited to only field work, we need computer,tech and other work done as well. Some work can be done at your own home.This is a structured program with set times, dates, and place. You must commit to 4 hours once a week, 4 weeks at a time. We ask for this commitment so we know in advance who will be coming when and where and that they are trained on certain tasks as we do not have time to retrain people every week. In exchange for this commitment and work you will receive a Family veggie share for every week you work. If you would like to add any of our other options (cheese, eggs, honey, fruit, etc…) you can simply add additional hours to your shift or work more than one shift. If you are interested please send an email ,call or text.
Each share comes weekly in a large reusable bushel basket. The first harvest is planned for May 16th, with the last one on September 26th. Mother nature decides: it could be a week earlier/later or end a week earlier or last a week longer. Produce is harvested the day before or morning of pick-up. Sometimes the baskets are full to overflowing and sometimes they are not as full.
We have never had less then 4 different items in a basket.Sometimes the baskets are full to overflowing and sometimes they are not as full. That is the beauty of living in season! Look to see what our shares have in them each week http://www.redacrefarmcsa.org/newsletter/
Each week your share will include the “Weekly Weed” a newsletter that gives you hints and helps on what to do with foods that might be a new adventure for you and how to store your weekly basket of produce.We also have a recipe exchange that includes recipes from our experience of over 25 years of catering and doing events.
Your basket will be available for pick-up every Wednesday between 12 and 2pm at the farm.
Delivery to Sprindale and St George every Saturday between 8 and 12. Arrangements can be made if you go on vacation.
