CSA Harvest Boxes

French Prairie Gardens Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program allows families with busy schedules a chance to get farm fresh produce each week.

Participants receive 18-weeks of farm fresh produce over the course of the growing season. The harvest boxes can be delivered weekly to your neighborhood or picked up right at the farm. The 2008 season starts Wednesday, May 28, and will end Wednesday, September 24.

CSA Season Membership

The CSA pick-up share program is an option for families that have the time to pick up their harvest box at the farm or are interested in picking their own when the opportunity is available. With this program, you will pick-up your harvest box every Wednesday, filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables.

You are also given a u-pick bonus two different times during the summer, based upon crop production.

Our farm animals are out so CSA members can to bring their children for their enjoyment, and the kids are welcome to slide down our tube slide. This is a way that your family can enjoy the farm and create a “farm-day” in your life to de-stress and spend time getting back to nature. CSA membership program benefits that are included are the 18 weeks of harvest boxes picked up at the farm, a u-pick bonus value, and free admission to our annual Strawberry Festival on Father's Day weekend. The total cost is $350, but you get to save the delivery charge of $108, and you get to visit the farm!

CSA Box Deliveries

The CSA delivery share program is an option for busy families without the time to visit the farm each week. This is our most convenient program, as we will deliver your share weekly to your neighborhood. The cost for delivery is an additional $108 per season, within a 15 mile radius, and a minimum of five deliveries are required for your area.

For Your Sweet Tooth...

You'll enjoy homemade pies, cookies, breads and more in your weekly Bakery Basket from French Prairie Gardens of St. Paul, Oregon"Another great option includes goodies fresh from the bakery. Our Bakery Basket is for those interested in muffins, scones, fruit breads, cookies, and pies made fresh daily on the farm.

The Bakery Basket will cost $275, and will run for 18 weeks. The basket can either be delivered or picked up at the farm. The same delivery requirements apply as the CSA box.

Each basket will contain around $15 worth of baked goods. For example a basket could contain; a large pie, a small loaf of zucchini bread, and two pieces of coffee cake.

Don't need that many goodies? You can add a bakery item to your harvest box each week and will cost you around $7.50 per week, totaling $135 for the season.
