What is CSA?

CSA stands for Community-Supported Agriculture. It’s a season-long subscription to fresh food. As a CSA member at ECO City Farms, you have access to the over 70 varieties of fruits and vegetables that we produce and grow in ways that sustain the environment, our farmers, and our communities. Your CSA membership supports our ongoing commitment to treating our communities and our land with love and respect. 

How much does CSA cost?

ECO City Farms offers a sliding scale of pay-what-you-can option! This means you can choose from different options based on your understanding of your own financial needs and other forms of social privilege you may experience in the world. 

ECO follows the solidarity share model of Soul Fire Farm, an Afro-Indigenous centered community farm and training center based in Upstate New York that’s dedicated to uprooting racism and seeding sovereignty in the food system: “We ask that people with more wealth and income pay more for their CSA share subscription to subsidize shares for those with less wealth and income. We empower people to decide for themselves what contribution level makes sense and offer coaching to support that determination. For example, people are encouraged to pay less if they are supporting children, have high medical expenses or immigration costs, or receive public assistance. People are encouraged to pay more if they own their home, have inheritance, work less by choice, or have high earning power based on their demographic position…The goal is that all members pay approximately the same percentage of their income toward their food, practicing economic solidarity.”

The additional funds from our redistribution and sustainer shares are designed to offset the cost of accessible shares, and allow us to gift free shares to our Edmonston neighbors.

Members who purchase the Spring through Fall option will receive a 5% discount. Members are expected to pay in full. However, if you prefer a monthly installment, please contact our farm and CSA manager at maddie@ecocityfarms.org. Thank you.  

(For SNAP/EBT, SUN Bucks, FMNP, SFMNP, or eWIC recipients. Email maddie@ecocityfarms.org to use your benefits to pay for your CSA share.) 

Member Agreement

By purchasing a CSA share, you agree to the following statement: 

By becoming a member of ECO’s CSA/Farm Share program, I am committing to picking up my share for the time period of the season. If I cannot pick up my share, I will try to have a friend pick it up in my place. I understand that there are no make ups or refunds for shares not picked up. I have read and understood the policies outlined in the information provided.

Farm Share Policies

Share Pickups: All members pick up their share only during the designated time. If you’re not able to do so, you may send a friend (in your place) to pick up your CSA share. There are no make-ups or refunds for shares not picked up.

Inclement Weather/Cancellations: Farm share pickups are held rain or shine. In the event of hazardous conditions, ECO will notify members of pickup cancellation or rescheduling via email, and members will be issued a makeup option.

Crop Failure and Risk: ECO’s farmers and staff do their very best to provide consistent, high quality produce to every farm share member every week. However, the farm share members also share in the risks as well as the benefits of the growing season. Risks in farming include pests, drought, excessive rain, wind, and crop failure. In case of shortage in supply, ECO may need to change the variety and quantity of produce, and/or will distribute available produce fairly among its members. Farmer-designated skip weeks will be used in the case of extreme circumstances.

Payments: All farm share members must pre-pay for the season. (If looking for month-to-month payment accommodations or to pay through SNAP, reach out to maddie@ecocityfarms.org.) Members commit to paying any balance by the due date. Checks should be made payable to ECO City Farms.
