We often sell out of prized fruit at our markets. Therefore a CSA membership is a great way to ensure your share of our fruit crop. Because ripening dates are dynamic, flexibility is required of our members. If we are short of one fruit, we will substitute the full retail value with another fruit or artisan fruit product. After all, taking the twists and turns and bumps in the road with your farmer is part of the agricultural adventure! We guarantee our fruit and that members receive the full retail value of their share.
While we feel confident in our peak season weekly share, the early season fruit is more risky. Therefore, we divide our weekly share into two parts, the early season share and the peak season share. Members may purchase the peak season share and/or the canning share between March 1-June 15. We sell the early season shares from June 1-15 if the cherry crop makes it through frost season. We welcome your membership in one or all of the available shares: peak season, early season, and canning!
Eat organic fruit for less than conventional prices with our Canning Share!
Our 120 lb. Canning Share is great for those who want to savor Colorado fruit season year round by processing fruit while it is in season. Members receive a 20 lb. box of our “imperfect” fruit every couple of weeks or so. Can it, freeze it, jam it, dry it….or just gobble it up at a bargain price. Though not cosmetically perfect, our seconds are just as delicious and are easy on your local organic food budget.
To become and CSA member, proceed to the CSA purchase page of our online store and choose Stapleton as your pick up site. If you have further questions or would like to pay with a check, contact jeni@elafamilyfarms.com and request information for the Stapleton CSA.
