**Summer 2024 CSA signups have now closed, but our store and market booths remain open to the public as always!**
FREE CHOICE CSA AT OBERCREEK FARM
Instead of the traditional model where us farmers decide what’s in the share each week, this free choice CSA model allows members to choose from any produce available at the farm stand — both from Obercreek and from other local farms.
NEW for 2024, we are thrilled to announce two improvements to our free choice model: you can now choose from two different share sizes to meet your needs, and you will now be able to use your share to purchase the local fruit and mushrooms that we stock, as well as the Obercreek and third-party produce you know and love.
The full size share is great for two folks who love vegetables or are vegetarians, a family of three or more, a cooperative household, those who love throwing seasonal grill nights or dinner parties, or those who’d like to use their CSA to purchase enough in quantity to preserve the season. The full share costs $700, and will translate into an account at our farm store loaded with $770 of value.
The small size share is great for an individual who loves vegetables or wants to preserve the season, a family of two folks, or a larger family who’s planning to be away for a portion of the summer. The small share costs $350, and will translate into an account at our farm store loaded with $380 of value.
The share will begin in June, and members are then free to visit the store any day it’s open — come once a week, twice a week, or every day! —to spend down the balance. For full shares, we recommend spending about $30/week, and for small shares, we recommend spending about $15/week; these amounts will make your share last about 24 weeks, as the share will close the weekend after Thanksgiving, however you are certainly able to spend more in any given week and use up your balance in a shorter time frame. We do ask all members to observe a roughly $60(+/-) weekly spending limit on your share, simply to help ensure we have enough for all, every week. If we have something in stock that you’re interested in buying in larger quantity for food preservation or other purposes, please feel more than welcome to be in touch directly and we can make sure we have enough for you and all our other members!
