IT’S CSA WEEK
Know Your Farmer - JOIN OUR CSA!
Get a great deal on our farm-grown vegetables, sign up by March 1.
WHAT IS CSA WEEK? It’s a week where farmers from across the country are promoting their CSA’s and encouraging customers to signup. Why? As farmers, just before spring emerges (and it’s around the corner!), it’s a good time for us to share our story and connect the general public with family farms like ours.
ABOUT US. We are a family farm, and woman owned and operated. Female farmers increasingly are making the majority of managerial decisions, working in the fields, driving tractors and running the bulk of daily operations. On our farm, I am proud to be a part of this growing trend in farming. Along with my husband Ryan, we live and work on this farm for a living. It is as physically demanding as it is rewarding. Our intent is to grow nurturing food and promote our local food system. Know Your Farmer! And that’s where our CSA comes in…
HOW DOES IT WORK? Join our CSA and get your eMarket card. The card (we use egift cards) is a buy down membership. *** Use it to shop with us in our Farm Store. *** In return for your upfront payment, enjoy discounts all season on our farm fresh produce AND earn loyalty points, redeemable on farm goods throughout the season. No weekly commitment or boxed shares. Shop at your convenience. Our CSA is flexible and you choose what you want. Not so sure? While we are open to the public, membership has its benefits.
EARLY BIRD DISCOUNTS. This is our best deal of the season, and it ends March 1! Applied at checkout on the farm EVERY TIME you shop ALL SEASON! Discounts will be applied ONLY to crops grown exclusively at WBF (other farms' products we sell are not eligible for the discount).
THE MINI $350… includes 10% VEGGIE DISCOUNT
THE BASIC $450… includes 15% VEGGIE DISCOUNT
THE CORE $550… includes 20% VEGGIE DISCOUNT
THE BULK $650… includes 25% VEGGIE DISCOUNT
*** E MARKET CARDS - can be use to: purchase veggies, flowers, pick your own, meats, cheese and other designated items; can not be used to: event tickets or items from other pop up vendors (such as artists or food trucks). ***
WHY JOIN OUR FARM? Our commitment to our ongoing education and due diligence. We are practical and hardworking, both in the field and in the books, farming is our livelihood. The decisions we make on our seed purchases and crop plans over the winter months are well thought out and contribute to the overall success of our farm all season long. Put your faith in our farm, over 15 years growing food for our community. Join our CSA and connect to likeminded consumers and participate in a more localized food system. Thank you for your support!
2024 CSA MEMBERSHIPS – ON SALE NOW!
With the success of our Market Card in 2023, we are making it our standard CSA membership in 2024 and offering a digital version, the eMarket Card.
CSA MEMBERSHIPS
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- eMarket Cards (“eGift Cards”) are a “Buy Down” plan – we find it easier to track our harvest & inventory while offering our customers a more customizable, flexible shopping experience.
- Choose an eMarket Card Level ($350, $450, $550 and $650) – just as you would sign up for a traditional CSA Share. Early Bird Signup includes 10-25% savings on your veggies, all season, based on your membership level.
- Good for EVERYTHING in our farm store – use your eMarket Card for veggies, eggs, local meats, cheeses, jams, sauces and more.
- No weekly commitment and valid for our ENTIRE farm season – shop for what you want, when you want.
- Share your digital account with family or friends – this is handled by Square, our POS (point of sale) system, no need to have a physical card.
WHY JOIN NOW?
- SUPPORT FARMS – running a farm is a year-round business for us. Your upfront purchase helps us greatly now… to buy seeds, plants and supplies, pay for fuel for the greenhouses and tractors, hire staff to work in the greenhouses and get our fields prepped and planted and so much more.
- QUALITY – access to the best, farm fresh produce every week throughout the growing season. Wholesome, healthy food – harvested daily, from our fields, for you and your family. Grocery store produce can be on the shelves for weeks before it reaches your plate; ours is direct from the fields, picked at peak ripeness. This makes a HUGE difference in quality, taste and nutritional value.
- FIRST PICK – members get priority on all crops we grow – at times, certain crops may ONLY be available to our members. Don’t miss out when it comes to our best beefsteak “Jersey” tomatoes – become a member!
- DISCOUNTS – ALL SEASON LONG – the larger the Market Card investment, the better the discount on your vegetables!
- NEW... LOYALTY REWARDS – earn points for becoming a member! Earn rewards throughout the season, EVERY TIME YOU SHOP. Redeem your rewards in our farm shop for a free item or dollar discounts.
- PRE SALES – ticket notifications for limited space events, like concerts and workshops.
We thank you for supporting our farm and helping to fortify this important building block of our community. We look forward to growing your food again in 2024.
