SOUTHSIDE FARMS

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. This is an agreement made between the farmer and 

his/her customer. 

By completing the checkout process on our website you are agreeing to become a member of Southside Farms CSA for one season. This agreement will grant the exchange of resources between CSA members and Southside Farms. Members will provide capital in exchange for produce from Southside. By doing so you are engaging in a mutually beneficial relationship that ensures the sustainability and prosperity of local food production on our farm. The concept of a CSA grew out of a need for farmers to gain access to capital. By acquiring up-front “seed money” from known customers, farmers are able to plant crops and purchase fertilizer without going in debt. Instead, the farmer is indebted to his/her members, who are repaid with the fruits of the farmer’s labor. Without access to this seed money, small-scale farming would be even more challenging.

Southside Farms will provide vegetables, fruit, honey, or other homegrown items from the farm to all its CSA members during the current growing season. This will be done in exchange for a contribution dependent on the members selected box size. Membership is for 12 weeks and will begin the week of April 22nd. Each box will vary in the type of produce as it is dependent upon the harvest of the week. Weekly availability of vegetables and fruit will also vary due to climate, biological, and other unpredictable variables. Southside Farms cannot promise the delivery of any certain item on any specific date. Examples of items in your box in early spring would be strawberries, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, kale, squash  and other spring produce. Boxes later in the summer season may include blackberries, blueberries, tomatoes, sweet corn, watermelon, canteloupe, cucumbers, green beans and more.

CSA Memberships are to be paid in full, up front using our on-line shopping cart after registering. The shopping cart accepts Credit/Debit Cards. If you prefer, you can mail a check made payable to Southside Farms after you complete your online registration. However, you are not a member of the CSA until membership is fully paid. Weekly and Monthly payments are not accepted.

We do not offer refunds. A CSA is about commitment to a local farmer and our commitment to you.

1. I will return my box faithfully every week and agree to a $5 charge if I fail to do so. Returned boxes are used the following week.

2. I agree to arrive at my drop-off / pick-up location on time. I understand that I can make arrangements for a friend or relative to pick up my box if I am out of town or unable to pick up. 

4. I understand that by becoming a member I am sharing in the risk and rewards of the growing season.  I realize there can be issues related to harvest and bounty that may preclude produce from being available (for example disease, insects, bad weather and other unforeseen circumstances.)
