Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a shared commitment between us, the farmer, and you, a consumer of good, quality food.
Here’s how it works… You would prepay for that season to receive a box of our seasonal, “beyond organic”, and sustainably raised produce. We will deliver the box of fresh produce to the designated market or drop off point each week. Your box will contain a mixed variety of produce, according to what the current season has to offer.
What size share should I get?
We offer full and half shares. What size share you need depends on the size of your household and how much produce you are accustomed to eating. But this is a good guide:
A whole share will typically feed:
- A family of 4 who cooks at least 5 family suppers a week at home.
- A couple who is strictly vegetarian.
A half share will typically feed:
- A 2 member household who cooks at least 5 suppers at home.
- A single person who is a vegetarian.
Please Note: The above is meant as a guide only, each and every situation is different
What if I cannot pick up a week?
We cannot hold your week’s share of produce, nor can we double up on the next week. We suggest you either give it to a friend, or sell it to someone for that week.
What happens if I forget to come and pick up my share?
We will give it to a family of low income for free. Consider it a gift to your community!
If I do not like the CSA program or I get tired of cooking every week, can I get my money back?
No. Once you make your financial commitment to us it is non-refundable. We spend your money on season extension supplies, labor, seeds, and other resources to help secure your produce investment. We want you to have the best food in West Tennessee, so we must invest in our farm to do so.
How will I know what to do with all this seasonal food?
We will help you! Each week, as you venture on this seasonal food journey we will be sending you weekly newsletters, letting you know how our crops are faring, what new items to expect, and an overall education on this new exciting local, seasonal, food movement! We also have a blog specifically for cooking our produce.
How do I pay?
You can pay with a Credit/Debit Card, check, or cash
What kind of meat CSA do you offer?
We are not offering a meat CSA at this time. We are offering “Deep Freeze” Meat packages at a discounted price. You can order online or print an order form and mail us a check.
What kind of produce will you be growing for our boxes?
This all depends on the season. To learn more about what we grow each season, take a look at our produce list.
What happens if a natural disaster strikes Rose Creek Farms?
If a disaster should strike Rose Creek Farms and we lose all our crops, you will NOT get a refund. We will distribute what produce is left, if any, to our CSA members, and recover our loss as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee food in the event of a disaster, if you are not willing to accept this risk; we encourage you to NOT become a member. This is a shared risk between us and you.
