CSA Membership

By becoming a member of the Alstede Farms CSA, I agree to the following terms:

  • I understand that the advertised share weight is only an average weight, and is subject to fluctuation throughout the season, due to seasonality.
  • I also understand that Alstede Farms makes no explicit guarantees of specific items and that from time to time I may receive different items in my share than what is originally on the list, due to the nature of the growing process. At times Alstede Farms may experience shortages of specific produce and may substitute items for other produce without notice.

If I am unable to pick up my share due to vacation or other circumstances, I am able to do one of the following:

  • Change my pickup day from one weekday to another. (admin fee req’d)
  • Skip my share pick up for one, or more, weeks and receive a double share the following week(s) (admin fee req’d)
  • I can designate someone else to pick it up for me (free of charge)
  • I can donate my share to the food bank (free of charge)

Alstede Farms will gladly accommodate changes to my pickup/delivery location or date; however, I must give Alstede Farms a minimum of 2 business days’ notice, and pay a $7 admin fee in advance.
