WHY JOIN OUR CSA?
CSA is a mutually beneficial relationship
between us. By making an investment in our farm with a CSA share, you become a
seasonal farm member who shares the rewards and risks of the harvest season
with us, your farmers. This makes you a co-producer. Your investment allows us
to afford annual start-up costs, to pay ourselves fair wages, and to share the
risks of growing food. In return, we provide you and your family with fresh,
healthy, local vegetables, fruits and eggs. Our food not only tastes better
and keeps longer, it also helps us all nourish local agriculture, economy and
environment. Taste the difference!
Members Receive:
- About two grocery bags of 7-10 seasonal sustainably grown vegetables and herbs (more for large shares)
- A weekly email with produce information, cooking and storage tips, recipes and segments about life on and off the farm.
- Access to an online recipe sharing site.
Members Also Enjoy:
- Convenient pick up locations and times throughout the week.
- Access to our farm for volunteering, exploring and relaxing.
- Invitations to on-farm events, such as our annual OktoberFEAST and Spring planting parties.
- Making new friends who share your interest in good food and good farming.
HOW IT WORKS
Join In Good Heart’s CSA by
purchasing a share at the beginning of the season. You then visit the weekly
pickup site to pack your own vegetables from the harvest table. We will post a
guide at the stand explaining what each share contains that week. You will
bring your own bags and pick out the produce for yourself “market-style”. The Fall CSA harvest season runs for 14 weeks
from September through December or January (depending on start date & weather conditions).
Pickup Sites &
Times: We have three weekly
CSA pickup sites.
- Raleigh pickup is Tuesday evenings from 4:30pm to 6;30pm at the Five Points CSA site, 1911 Bernard St., Raleigh 27608.
- We also we have On-Farm pickup is from 4pm to 7pm on Wednesdays at 1000 McLemore Road in Clayton, NC 27520.
- Finally, we offer limited pickup every Saturday morning from 8am to 12pm at the Western Wake Farmers Market, 1225 Morrisville Carpenter Rd, Cary 27519
Share Sizes: We offer three share sizes.
- Our Large Share ($420) is a suitable amount of produce for a large household of 4+ people, or a couple of hungry vegetarians, to eat for a week.
- Our Regular Share ($280) is a suitable amount of produce for a small household of 1 to 3 people, or 1 hungry vegetarian, to eat for a week.
- Our Small Share ($175) is the same size as the regular share, but the pick ups are every other week rather than weekly.

avoid confusion.
