A community-supported agriculture (CSA)
program is a special relationship between a farmer
and its members. Members purchase a share of a
farm’s harvest, and in doing so, they share with
the farmer the risks and benefits of food
production. Throughout harvest season, members get
local produce straight from the farm. The amount
varies depending on the weather and other vagaries
of nature, but a full share is usually plenty for
a family of four.
The Wickham Farms CSA experience is much
more than a weekly produce box. It is a chance to
be more connected to the community and to have fun
as a family. Your CSA membership will include:
A weekly share of our farm’s harvest of
veggies, herbs, flowers and a few fruits
during the 20-week growing season
(approximately May through October). An
every-other-week share is also available. By
partnering with a farm in Canandaigua, we’re
even including freshly picked sweet corn as
part of the CSA. Click
here to see what we grow.
A fun farmer’s market-type environment at
Wickham Farms on pick-up days (Mondays or
Thursdays). An advantage of pick-up at the
farm is that you have some choice in what
you receive, so you can choose more of your
favorites and less of things you don’t like.
(A lot of CSA members, though, find that they
expand the veggies they enjoy as a result of
the experience.)
Two Wickham Farms Fun Passes, good for a
total of 10 admissions to mini golf, jumping
pillow, corn maze, or batting cages.
A weekly email newsletter that will keep you
informed about the vegetables you’ll receive,
what’s happening in the fields, events at
Wickham Farms as well as recipes and cooking
tips.
Frequent U-pick bonuses, when you can pick
your own vegetables, herbs and flowers. If
you have children, you will find that most
love picking veggies. (We do not require CSA
members to work on the farm.)
A CSA family event that includes our chicken
BBQ, dishes prepared from our veggies and fun
Wickham Farms activities.
A 10% discount on birthday parties at Wickham
Farms.
Discounts (or cash back) for referring friends
-- $25 for a paid full share, or $10 for a
paid biweekly share. CSA members will receive
additional information on the referral program
upon receipt of their deposit.
