Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How many people will this harvest box feed?
We have found that the amount of produce a household consumes varies greatly. This depends on how often people eat out or entertain, whether people are vegetarians, vegans, or omnivores, and whether they are going to supplement their diets with things like bananas, oranges, avocados and other things that don’t grow in the Fort Worth area.
2. Will your box supply all the produce needs of my family?
Probably not if your household has 4 people who eat as many fruits and vegetables as current dietary recommendations (half your plate should be vegetables and fruits). If your goal is to eat that much produce, you should expect to supplement what is in your weekly box. Many families will find that the box suits their needs. Others will love our box, but desire more greens and fruit than we provide, so they may purchase additional local produce at our farmers collaborative market, or they may supplement with bananas, oranges, grapefruit and other non-local produce from the store, (if desired we will endeavor to get some of these goods from organic farmers in south Texas).
3. Is there a way to get extra quantities of berries, tomatoes, peppers, basil, etc. to preserve for the winter?
Yes, you can ask to be notified when we have specials on bulk quantities. As mentioned, we will periodically give classes on preserving food for our members.
4. Vacation Credit
If you’re planning to be out of town for vacation, tell us at least 10 days in advance and we will be sure to stop preparing your food basket until you return.
Note: If you need to skip a week for any surprise reason, you must let us know by Tuesday.
5. How much does our CSA/Co-op cost?
We have two options:
$55.00 for a grande share feeding 3 to 5 people weekly.
$35.00 for a sprout share that feeds 1 to 3 people weekly.
A yearly membership fee of $50.00 dollars for administration is charged as well as a onetime rental charge of $12.00 for the produce baskets provided. If the basket ever breaks we will replace it when the broken basket is returned without additional charge.
If you lose the basket, another one can be purchased for $10.00.
6. When will the food be available for pick-up?
Food will be available on Friday Noon-5pm and Saturday 9am-5pm every week.
If you would like to know exactly what produce you will be receiving, you can sign up on our email list for a weekly newsletter.
Please fill out the CSA CONTRACT and bring it signed to your first pick up.
Joining our CSA is easy and we are fun people to work with. We are always open to suggestions as to how we can make your experience more enjoyable
