Our season kicks off in June with our first pickup on June 3, and runs for 20 weeks through October 14 (rain or shine!). We'll text you a reminder before your first order, too!

Pickup is every Wednesday between 3:30-9pm at First Rain Farm (19832 Rector Rd, Nevada City) and 3:30 - 9pm at Starbright Acres Farm (12575 Polaris Dr, Grass Valley).

We'll text you each week before we harvest, and you'll have until that week's cutoff time (9am Friday) to add extras to your order.

While we'd never advise skipping your veggies, we understand that life gets busy! Every week, you'll receive a text message alert when our harvest start. If you're heading on vacation, you can alert a friend or family member to pick up for you, or let us know and we can donate the share on your behalf!

Absolutely! Along with members-only add-on subscription offerings from our partners, CSA members get access to our online add-on store to shop extras (like fresh eggs and produce!) to include in your weekly order.

Yes - our collaboration of farms are all CCOF certified organic, and practice sustainable farming.

You can give your box to a friend and have them pick up for you. You don't need to tell us in advance or you can let us know and we will donate it. We understand that life gets busy and many people travel in the summer, for that reason we allow you to skip up to twice a season at no cost to you if you let us know by the Sunday before your Wednesday pick up! You will receive a credit that you can cash out at the end of the season, use for a second box on a week when you will need more or roll over to next season.

Once you buy your veggie share you will be given the option to add on to that, we offer bread, eggs, canned goods, flowers, microgreens, and proteins.

Our farmers curate a balanced mix of veggies (with some fruits and berries) that changes seasonally throughout the growing months. However we do offer weekly options of things to add to your order. For example if you sometimes want bread but don't want to sign up for the whole season, that will be a weekly option. Or when things like tomatoes or blueberries are in abundance we will offer the option to add more to your order.

We offer a regular and small sized box offering. The regular has 8-10 items, the small 6-7 items per week. If this is still too much you can consider buying with a friend and picking up your boxes every other week so that you can keep up and not waste food. Also watching our culinary videos and recipes can give you ideas that will help you maximize the use and storage of your veggies. If all else fails, you can make a soup at the end of the week and freeze it for winter. If you have a larger household and need more than one box you can also buy a regular and small box.

Having a CSA is a great opportunity to try new vegetables and expand your palate. That said, if there is something you know you won't eat, you can put it on the sharing table for someone that loves that thing and you might find something you love on the table to take in exchange!

We provide recipes in our newsletter each week to help inspire you with new ideas on how to cook the veggies. In addition, Wendy Van Wagner does cooking videos on our youtube channel each week that will inspire you with simple, delicious ways to cook your veggies.

We offer a payment plan where you can pay in installments rather than all at once. To use installment payments, check the "Pay over time" box on the right-hand side during the final step of checkout and you will be all set.

Not yet but we are working on it.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, which means customers pre-buy a set portion of the farm's harvest so they can have access to the freshest food available and directly support their local farms.

Yes. While our farmers do plan their cash flow around the pre-sales of veggie boxes, if at any point you are not satisfied with the boxes or it is just not working out for you, you can change your box size or cancel and we will give you a refund for the boxes remaining in the season.

If you gave us your email, we will send you a reminder on pick up day. Our pick up sites are open until 9pm on Wednesdays. If you forget to pick up your box it will be donated on Thursday.

Our farmers sometimes have specials on boxes of tomatoes for canning etc. and many of our add on vendors will be offering one off purchases of products weekly. So for example if you want bread or flowers occasionally you can do so. Pickup is every Wednesday between 3:30-9pm at First Rain Farm (19832 Rector Rd, Nevada City) and 3:30 - 9pm at Starbright Acres Farm (12575 Polaris Dr, Grass Valley). We'll text you each week before we harvest, and you'll have until that week's cutoff time (9am Friday) to add extras to your order for the following week.

Keep an eye on your email – we send an email every Friday with the next week's anticipated harvest, plus available members-only add-ons.
