MARKET UPDATE
REMINDER: 2025 CSA Information
As mentioned, farms incur many expenses (seeds, soil, labor…) long before they are able to sell any produce. CSA programs were developed to allow communities to invest in future crops, guaranteeing that farmers could afford to plant food and members were given a share of the bounty. At Oak Hart, we have adopted a slightly different CSA model that fits our market customers.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
👉 Members choose an initial share size in $100 increments ($500.00 – $1,000.00 or greater)
👉 Shareholder Card is issued when payment is received (or simply refilled if you are returning)
👉 Shareholder card can be used to purchase anything in the market
👉 Members have a year from payment to use their card balance
MEMBER BENEFITS:
👉 Receive 10% off all produce, flowers and plants each time you use the card.
👉 Members are offered first opportunity to food preservation quantities and surplus.
👉 Flexibility to use the card at the Market for a year from purchase.
👉 Reload your card at anytime throughout the season to continue receiving benefits, no minimum refill amount required.
👉 Special Member only sales/specials.As credit card incur fees, we are asking for cash or check in the market. If you need to pay via credit card then we can accept that payment by following the green button below.
We ask all members, new or returning, to fill out the registration form (red button below).
