🌿 CSA Membership — Rooted in Support & Community
Our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Membership has been part of Harvest Gathering Farm since the very beginning. Each year, I open enrollment once, for just a few weeks, with only 50 memberships available. This program is designed for those who want to support the farm more deeply while receiving meaningful, year-round benefits in return.
✨ Who This Membership Is For
This enrollment is for NEW CSA MEMBERS only.
(If you are a returning member, you’ll sign up under the CSA Renewal Membership.)
The CSA is best suited for customers who typically spend under $600 per month on farm products. It includes Harvest Gathering Farm meats and eggs, with some exclusions noted below.

💛 How the CSA Discount Works
•10% off year-round on eligible purchases
•If monthly spending exceeds $600, the discount automatically adjusts to 5%
•Some items are excluded from CSA discounts, including:
•Holiday meats
•Special handmade items
•Any product clearly marked “No CSA Discount”
This structure helps protect the farm. The $275 annual membership is a direct way to support the high costs of ethical, regenerative farming — and offering unlimited high-volume discounts simply isn’t sustainable for us long-term. Thank you for understanding and valuing what it truly takes to run a small farm with integrity.

🧺 What’s New This Year
•You’ll receive a physical CSA Membership Card
•Please show it at the farmers market to receive your discount
•For online orders, we’ll send an updated invoice reflecting your CSA discount
⸻
🐓 A Note About Eggs & Monthly Boxes
•Eggs are not included in CSA discounts this year
Raising laying hens is extremely labor-intensive and costly, and this helps us continue doing it responsibly.
•We sometimes offer monthly freezer boxes that provide your essential meat needs
•These boxes are already 15% off
•CSA discounts do not stack on top of box pricing
•Boxes are available for pickup at markets or delivery locations

💬 One of the Most Loved CSA Benefits…
CSA members get direct access to me 📱💛
You’ll have my personal text number to:
•Ask questions
•Request special items
•Share feedback or photos of your meals
•Or just check in (yes, really 😄)
As a customer myself, one of my biggest frustrations has always been not being able to reach the owner or decision-maker. This program was built to create a real relationship — not just transactions. I truly love staying connected with my CSA members.
