What does it mean to Purchase a DeFeo Family Farm CSA share?
Your community supported agriculture (CSA) share is not just a subscription for high quality produce, it's a pledge to support a local, family farm and the community we serve.
Your purchases will help us grow high quality, nutritious food that supports both your health and those community members that participate in programs with our partners.
Together we hope that the DeFeo Family Farm community can grow and learn to reconnect with local food, home cooking and with each other.
Choose your CSA preference at our online store. We currently offer different sized fully customizable option, or you can purchase a share by buying store credit to support the farm through the season.
CSA subscriber orders are filled first, and you will have access to weekly recipe ideas and to a private DFF community Facebook group.
Also, we want to offer you flexible sizing options. For instance, if you want a little more carrots with your purchase let us know! Want small cabbages, but not large ones, let us know your preference. Want to block a particular veggie, no problem!
We then deliver to your doorstep, or to our community sponsors early on Friday mornings. For our Frederick County neighbors, you have additional delivery options. Send us an email if you would prefer a different delivery day or would rather pick up at the farm!
How does it work?
OPTION 1: Customizable Peak-Season Subscription
With our Customizable Peak-Season Subscription you will receive 20 deliveries between May 17 and Oct 28.
You are allowed up to 3 weeks where you can skip your delivery and still reach 20 deliveries before the last CSA delivery week.
You can choose to purchase a small (~4 items), medium (~8 items) or large share (~12 items). The amount of items in your box depends on what's seasonally available and the value of the items. Ultimately, your box will be packed so that it is roughly discounted 10% from retail prices.
We will send you an email with your suggested CSA box items a week before delivery and offer you the opportunity to swap out or double up on certain picks. If you want to keep the farmer’s pick, no action is necessary.
You always have the option of adding onto your order each week by buying from our online store.
OPtion 2: CSA Store Credit
Want the most flexibility in your CSA share?
You can pre-purchase store credit to use throughout the whole year.
Pre-purchasing store credit helps to support the farm and allows us to plan and pay for seasonal help, and gives you the freedom to order when you can.
With store credit you don't have to wait until May to receive your CSA delivery. Our online store is open year round. We hope to deliver every other week through March and then weekly between April and Christmas.
When you purchase store credit we will credit you back an additional 10% off your purchase price!
