CSA Premium Box

Back by popular demand! The Premium box will allow you to choose from available items each week, giving you more control and flexibility with your Boxed and Delivered Share. With the Premium Share, your CSA Share will be more suited to your personal preferences.

Here's how it will work:

Each week-Monday-we'll email a list of the produce we expect to harvest for the week. The day prior to your pickup day, you'll login to the Member's section of the web site, visit the Web Store, and from the Premium section of the web store, place an order for the items you prefer. The following day (your normal pick up day), you'll go to your pick up point, find the box with YOUR NAME on it, unpack your box into your reuseable bag-as usual-leaving the empty box for Pete to retreive and reuse.

Here's an EXAMPLE:

The list of available produce for the week might include:

tomatoes, potatoes, onions, arugala, baby lettuce mix, eggplant, bellpeppers, turnips, jalapenos, basil, and dill.

You will choose the items you prefer to be included in your box and simply ignor those you don't want. For members who don't like arugala and turnips, you would simply NOT SELECT these items on your order. If you love potatoes and dill, choose more of those to indicate you prefer to substitute the unwanted items with potatoes and dill. We'll pack your box with extra volume of the items you want, and omit the one's you ignored, giving you more control over your CSA share so it better suits your family's preferences!

The Premium Option is not a way for you to place an order that is filled exactly as you specify. It is a way for you to tell us what you prefer. There will be times when you place an order for, let's say POTATOES, that the supply may not be available on your delivery day and we'll need to substitute the lack of potatoes with another item on your list.

The Premium Box takes extra co-ordination, detailed packing, and unusual handling. The process is totally separate from the regular CSA Share packing process. That's why the additional cost of $5/week for the season. One more note: Premium Option is designed for boxed and delivered shares. Shares picked up at Stono Market or the Farm already have more flexibility built in simply because of location and setting.
