2024 Market Membership Program
Market Memberships
Community Shared Agriculture or a CSA is a common way for farmers to sell the produce we grow over the course of a season directly to our customers. But they're not for everyone.
Since my farm is on the smaller scale farmer's markets offer more flexibility than a CSA... but the early season costs are pretty much the same the same as when I offered a CSA.
This year Lucky Bug Farm will be offering a Market Membership program rather than a CSA.
At a Glance
Each week we will bring a selection of seasonal vegetables and herbs to market. We will also be bringing preserved products like pickles, jams and relishes along with vegetable, herb and flower seedlings with us each week between late June and the end of September.
You will get to decide exactly which, and how much of each product you'd like to take home with you from the market.
This year we will be focusing on growing leafy greens, onions, salad mix, root vegetables like turnips, carrots and beets and of course a good variety of tomatoes. There will also be more cucumbers and we have added summer leeks to our crop plan. Expect to see: heads of lettuce, pak choi, salad mix, fingerling potatoes, collard greens, peppers, cherry tomatoes, green onions, swiss chard, kale and more! Most weeks shares will also include herbs like basil, parsley, chives, sage, oregano and cilantro.
