CSA Information
Thank you for your interest in Turkey Hill CSA!
Round Earth Farm is proud to offer subscriptions to our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Purchasing a membership for the season helps support local, sustainable agriculture. CSA members receive a box containing a wide variety of delicious produce each week from early-June through mid-October. A fruit option is also available for an additional cost.
Subscribers receive a selection of the farm’s harvest of produce each week. Generally, a full membership will supply produce for two to four people. A ‘half ’ box is perfect for one or two people who don’t need as much produce each week. CSA subscribers share in the farm’s bounty and the inherent risks of farming. We plant a wide variety of crops and do our best to insure success using our many years of experience growing in this climate – since 1993! Just like planting a garden, some years certain crops are more abundant than others, you will receive more of these and less of those that are not as abundant.
The produce each week includes a changing selection what is currently in season. For example, early season boxes contain crops such as baby salad greens, swiss chard, kale, spinach, peas, radishes, cilantro and baby beets. Mid-season boxes contain zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, baby salad greens, lettuce, green beans, carrots, squash and onions. Late season boxes contain tomatoes, peppers, corn, cucumbers, baby salad greens, swiss chard, kale, potatoes and winter squash. Pickup will be at the farm on Powell Mesa outside of Hotchkiss. Delivery to a distribution point in town for out of area subscribers is $120 for the season.
2010 News & Notes
This year we are keeping the price of the CSA the same and will be offering some more add on items during the season – more on that on the website. This year we plan to begin harvest by early June and continue until early October. We will have a hoophouse full of tomatoes – and lots of baby beets, carrots, broccoli and salad. We are also planting more onions, garlic and lots of winter squash. The entire season, inluding the boxes, will be documented at our website – TurkeyHillCSA.com. Members get weekly updates about the box contents and farm progress and are invited to visit the farm. Subscriptions are $500 for the season, or $300 for the half box for 17-19 weeks of produce (exact dates depend on weather). The fruit option is $200/full ($100/half) for 15 weeks of local organic fruit – with lots of variety. Accounts paid in full by May 1st will receive a 10% discount (before delivery charge). Working memberships allow you to pay less or nothing in exchange for helping with planting, weeding, harvest and processing – call for details.
We look forward to sharing the season with you! The Round Earth Crew
