Chance Farm 2024 CSA Membership

Build a closer connection with your food.

When you become a Chance Farm CSA member, not only will you get a weekly box of the freshest, tastiest, seasonal food from our fields, you'll be a part of something bigger -- creating a secure local food network for our community. We invite you to become a member of our CSA and let us be your farmers.

How It Works

Become a CSA Member by purchasing a share in advance of the 2024 season. In return, you get 18 weeks of our high-quality, vegetables carefully grown, and harvested by us.

As a CSA member, know you are helping close the loop in our community. In our growing practices, we use compost from Happy Trash Can Curbside Composting as a soil amendment.  All their compost is made with 100% collected food scraps from local businesses and households.

Plus, you will receive:

  • A weekly newsletter about what’s happening on the farm, the vegetables in your share, recipes, storage tips and our “get to know your farmer” series

  • A CSA Member Appreciation Day which includes a tour of the farm & a potluck where you will learn about where your food comes from and meet your farmers

  • Multiple pickup sites and the option for home delivery

  • A variety of other local products periodically included in your share such as : rhubarb, flathead cherries, sweet corn, Kimm’s Organic potatoes, pickles by Roots Kitchen & Cannery and other value added items created by local producers

  • The option to add-on other local products like Black Dog Farm Eggs, Furrow & Fly English Muffins, SporeAttic Mushrooms or Black Dog Farm Pork Sausage & Belcrest Farms Ground Beef

  • Fresh, seasonal, local produce that you can trust

Your early support of the farm helps us purchase seeds, supplies, and pay our farm crew a living wage in the first 5 months of the year, setting us up to grow our best produce for you!

What is a CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) connects individuals and local farms in a mutually supportive relationship. “When individuals pay their membership fees upfront, CSAs guarantee that the farmer has enough financial backing to meet harvest demands, while the customer receives fresh produce directly from the source…"

"Supporting community farms is imperative to keep them as just that: in the community. It’s vital for our local economy, sustainable for all involved, and requires less thought than a trip to the grocery store—it’s all decided for you.” Source

What our Members had to say…

  • "We loved the CSA. Just the fresh lettuce greens alone made it worth our while. Thanks!"

  • "It is great to get salad greens every week. I have a goal to never buy vegetables at the grocery store again and having lettuce really helps with that. I noticed the care with which you packed the boxes. I really loved the CSA and it made my life better. Truly. It feels like a gift every week. Like a team of veggie ninjas are looking out for you. I will definitely be back. Thank you."

  • "It got me to cook lots of new vegetables I don't normally buy. It was very exciting to learn new foods. I loved the blue bag system and pickups at the farm were a breeze!"

  • "The variety and amount of veggies was fantastic! And a lovely surprise at the end with pickles! Yum!"

  • "The blue bags were a very nice amenity. They seemed to keep things fresh and crispy."

  • "I so appreciated the newsletter coming out BEFORE pick up. Knowing what was going to be in our box before we picked it up helped me out so much with meal planning. I knew what ingredients I needed to pick up from the store and what was going to be in the share. It helped me plan meals that utilized everything so nothing went to waste."

  • "What I liked most about the CSA were the smells, the freshness, the variety, the condition of the veggies, the fact we were supporting a business locally, the opportunity to use these veggies to become healthier and to go back to my recipes and try new ones!"

  • "I really looked forward to seeing what vegetables I was going to get! I loved the weekly emails. And the vegetables were beautiful. And thank you for allowing me to add the English muffins - I'm so happy to discover Furrow & Fly."

  • "The veggies were gorgeous. You took so much time individually caring for them and presenting them to us. Plus everything was delish!"

  • "I loved the variety from week to week. My meals were planned around the contents of the box, so I tried recipes I hadn't thought to try before."

FAQs

  • We follow organic practices, but are not yet certified. We began farming at Rocky Road in 2022 and are working towards Organic Certification. To our knowledge, no sprays have been used on the property since at least 2015.

  • Last year our half share was by and large our most popular share. We want to provide an affordable share to a larger community of members and streamline our processes, while still keeping to our ethos of quality over quantity.

    This years share is equivalent to our half share last year, plus 1 extra item per week.

    If you feel that the share is too large, we suggest asking a friend or coworker to split it with you!
