UPDATE 3/1: All Wright-Locke vegetable Shares are SOLD OUT for the 2021 season. Sorry, but we have a very limited number due to our small acreage. We hope you’ll consider purchasing a Carrot Card, buying through Farm to Go, and visiting our Farm Stand and Farmers Markets this season.

Another option is to buy a CSA share from New Entry Sustainable Farming Project! We will be a host site for their CSA pickup this season on Tuesdays. Signing up for a share will give you access to great, local produce and will support beginning and immigrant farmers at the same time! Learn more at New Entry’s website

Carrot Card – By buying a “Carrot Card” (a virtual card), you support the farm in the same way a CSA member does, but you get the flexibility to choose what and how much goes into your shopping basket. When you purchase a Carrot Card, that money goes into an account in our Farm-to-Go online store where you can order from our Farm Stand or Farmers Market.

Not only can you buy fresh veggies, but you can buy any product available at our Farm Stand, including meat, cheese, dairy, breads, seafood, and plenty more! You also get a bit of a bonus with the carrot card:

Buy $225 – Get $250 in your account

Buy $450 – Get $500 in your account

A Message from our Farmer

Thank you for choosing to participate in the Wright-Locke CSA as a sustainable way to bring fresh, local, organic vegetables into your household. Your participation is a vital component to making this farm a truly successful Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) endeavor. CSA is a partnership of mutual commitment between a farm and a community of supporters which provides a direct link between the production and consumption of local food.

Supporters cover an integral part of a farm’s yearly operating budget by purchasing a share of the season’s harvest. CSA members make a commitment to support the farm throughout the season, and assume the costs, risks and bounty of growing food along with the farmer or grower. Members payments help pay for seeds, water, equipment maintenance, labor, etc. In return, the farm provides, to the best of its ability, a healthy supply of seasonal fresh produce throughout the growing season. Becoming a member creates a responsible relationship between people and the food they eat, the land on which it is grown, and those who grow it.

There are many variables that will ensure our farm’s success this year. While the vegetables that grew last season thrived, there is always a chance that the shares may not meet your expectations in the future. However, we are confident in our farm operation and that our efforts will lead to another great harvest in 2021. I hope you will join us as we grow fresh, local produce for our community.

Sincerely,
Adrienne Altstatt, Farm Manager
