Spring CSA (Small) 2025
Spring CSA (Small) 2025
We offer multiple share sizes at a sliding scale cost for our vegetable CSAs! This small share size is suggested for single-person households, which for Spring CSA is around 3-4 pounds of produce (plus bonus items) per week during this six-week CSA session.
How does the sliding scale work? In an effort to make our food more accessible to all members of our community, we offer three price points for each of our veggie CSA offerings.
Consider paying more when you:
Earn above the Ann Arbor median household income of $73K or per capita income of $48K
Own your home
Have retirement accounts, investments, or inherited money
Have access to family money and resources in times of need
If you hold white privilege
Consider paying less when you:
Earn below the Ann Arbor median household income of $73K or per capita income of $48K
Are supporting children, other dependents, or sending remittances
Have significant debt
Have medical expenses not covered by insurance
Have a fixed income or receive public assistance
Identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color)

Membership description
6-week session: May 21st-June 28th 2025
The Spring CSA session will provide members with the first fresh bounty of our field growing season. Members can expect tender salad greens, spring radishes, head lettuce, pac choi, tatsoi, hakurei turnips, and more sweet but hardy early-season crops.
Our Spring CSA is buffet-style where members are able to choose exactly what seasonal produce they would like to take home, and will be able to reference our “suggested poundage” according to the share size purchased in order to decide how much food to bring home each week. This suggested poundage is based on our experience with how much produce our members go through each week before feeling like it is too much or too little food, but this suggestion is just to act as a guide and if you feel like you need more or less during a given week you are welcome to adjust accordingly. “Bonus items” that don’t count toward this suggested poundage will also be available each week.
Certain produce items that we don’t have a surplus of at the time may be offered to our CSA members in limited quantities to ensure everyone receives a share (i.e. a limit of 1 bag of spinach/week).
A CSA newsletter will be sent out to members at the beginning of each week during the session, letting them know what our weekly offerings are as well as any other farm-related news.
An additional benefit of this CSA is a 10% discount at our farmstand during the membership session.
