Crossroad Farm CSA
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What can I expect to receive in my weekly share and when do I pick it up?
A: In fact, for Crossroad Farm there is no weekly share or pickup. We use a CSA program where you simply pre-purchase credit purchase any items you choose from our farm stands and greenhouses. This allows you the flexibility to shop for what you want, when you want.
Q: What can I purchase with my CSA share?
A: Anything and everything we have for sale at our Norwich farm stand as well as our Post Mills greenhouses and farm stand. Yes, this includes things like produce, fruit, flowers, meat, cheese, t-shirts, and hats!
Q: When I come to use my CSA, how will you know I purchased a share?
A: Your online or mail-in CSA purchase will be entered in our system at the start of the season and can be used seamlessly in either location. No cards needed!
Q: When can I start using my CSA share?
A: You can start using your CSA share as soon as we’re open! Our Norwich farm stand and Post Mills greenhouses will open at the end of April.
Q: Why a discount?
A: When you become a member, you are investing in the farm and, in effect, the discount is a percentage return on your investment. We offer our best incentive for CSA purchases in January and February when we begin investing in the upcoming season.
Q: What are the discounts and when are their deadlines?
A: Our early bird discount is 7%, ending February 29th. We then offer a 5% discount until April 30th.
Q: If I don't use all of my share this season, will it roll over to next year?
A: YES! Your remaining balance from this year will roll over into the next season
Q: How do I find out if I have a balance left over from last season?
A: Of course! Send Phil an email with the full name on your CSA card and he can tell you your balance. If you do have a balance and choose to re-purchase for the current season, the two amounts will be added together.
Q: How do I sign up?
A: Head over to our CSA page for links to purchase online or by mail.
