CSA
How does it work?
Our CSA differs from most others because we will not be deciding what the shareholder will be receiving each week. Each shareholder will receive a card that is good for 10 weeks worth of fruit and vegetables. They will then be able to shop at our home farm stand, or at one of our many farmer’s markets we visit throughout the week. (At some of our farm markets, we only sell fruit. Please check below for availability). Each box/share will be worth $23 dollars.
Shares
- Each share will be worth $23 each for 10 weeks.
- Each share must be used in full. Change will not be given.
- In the event that a shareholder cannot make it to a market, their share may be redeemed during another week.
- Multiple shares may be used at once.
- Shareholders may have others use their voucher, but whoever uses it must give the original shareholder’s name when doing so.
Duration
June 15th-August 25th (Shareholders at our traveling farmer’s markets may use shares until their market ends.)
Fruits & Vegetables Offered
FYI- For some people who are new to CSA, or farming in general, fruit and vegetables are NOT all ready at the same time. We are mainly a fruit farm, but we offer a select variety of vegetables listed below. We will be posting on our social media what we will have each week.
Fruit– Raspberries, blueberries, gooseberries, blackberries, currants, strawberries, cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines, melons, apricots, apples and pears.
Vegetables– Corn, tomatoes, peppers, hot peppers, eggplant, zucchini, summer squash, winter squash, lettuce, cucumbers, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, kale, and more! (Our vegetable selection will vary due to time of planting and growing period. Vegetables with a longer growing period, such as tomatoes, corn, eggplant, and winter squash, will only be available to our local customers toward the end of the program.)

Shared Risk
Our goal is to provide members with a variety of options with our produce each week. The variety of produce, however, may vary from week-to-week due to extreme weather, insects, or other production factors despite our best efforts. By joining the Trapani Farms’ CSA, members agree to share the risk of crop failure with the farm. Despite the possibility of lacking variety, all of our members will always receive the full value of their shares over the course of the season.
Helpful tip from the farmers
*Freeze as much as you can! Certain fruits and vegetables are only available for a short period of time. Freezing them is the best way to have delicious local produce well into the fall and winter months.
