ROVING DONKEY FARM
CSA
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and links the farmer to local community members who pay a sum upfront in exchange for a “share”—a weekly supply of fresh, in-season vegetables. By belonging to a CSA you are actively participating and promoting good land stewardship and the simple but powerful act of local farmers growing good food. As a shareholder, you share in the risk with growing vegetables with us, your farmers. Along with that risk, you share in the reward of the bounty we work very hard to produce.
How much does it cost?
Share prices for 2021 are as follows:
-
$600 full share - 3/4 bushel box
-
$425 partial share - 1/2 bushel box
When do I get my vegetables?
We anticipate weekly deliveries to start in mid-June and should run for 16 weeks. For the 2021 season, pick up is on Thursday evening from 5:00-6:00 pm at Jaycee's Centennial Park in Bismarck.
