How Pahl’s Community Supported Agriculture Program Works
Pahl’s offers a 15 week Farm Share CSA program that allows members to become more involved in our farming operation by purchasing shares at the onset of the growing season. In return, CSA members receive fresh homegrown produce straight from our fields to your table from the end of June through the beginning of October, as well as exciting opportunities to visit the farm on special Harvest Event days.
Each box will contain vegetables and/or fruits at peak harvest season for that week. The first share box of the season also comes with a $20 gift card to Great Harvest Bread Company and a $20 gift card to Von Hanson Meats! All share options include weekly share boxes and access to special Harvest Events. Harvest Events are a great opportunity to get involved with the farm! Details about Harvest Events can be found by clicking here.

Communication:
We will be communicating with all Farm Share CSA members weekly via email to let them know what to expect in their share boxes, how the crops are doing and what kind of successes and challenges the past week presented. We will post blogs, You Tube videos and Facebook updates with vegetable preparation techniques and fun new recipes to try. We will provide a forum for our members to share ideas and provide us with feedback on their share boxes and experiences. If you receive something in your share box you normally wouldn’t purchase you will have access to ideas on how to enjoy the new treat. Don’t be afraid to try new vegetables!
