MarketShare CSA
The 3 Most Important Things About The MarketShare CSA:
(1) This CSA gives you flexibility.
-Your CSA share will come in the form of a pre-loaded e-gift card - essentially, farm credit to spend with us throughout the season in a way that works best for your household. After purchasing, you will be emailed an e-gift card with your unique code, as well as directions on how to track your purchases, and current balance.
(2) This CSA is 100% "free-choice"
-Each week (or every other week, or whenever you get to the market or farm stand...), you select the products you want. You are welcome to spend your farm credits on our fresh seasonal produce, herbs, fruits, cut flowers, fresh eggs, canned goods, and/or baked goods. Basically anything our farm has produced and is available at that market or farm stand!
(3) Weekly CSA participation is not required
-You purchase from the farm on the weeks that suit your schedule. Each week, there are 2 ways to shop using your MarketShare credits:
(a) shop "honor-system style" at our contactless farm stand open daily June-September. Simply shop for the products you would like to purchase, write down on the provided spreadsheet your purchase amount, and we will email you a digital receipt and current account balance at the end of the day.
(b) shop from our stand at the Barre Farmer's Market each Wednesday evening in downtown Barre and we'll ring you through on your e-gift card. We will email you a digital receipt and current account balance at the end of the day.What Else Do I Need To Know About The MarketShare CSA?
What happens if I spend all my credits before the end of the season?
-If you spend down the full value of your Share, you can purchase additional credit at any point through our online store, or in-person. We will then reload your e-gift card account, and you will be set for more market trips and delicious food!
What happens if I don't spend all my credits before the end of the season?
-The balance on your MarketShare card will roll over between seasons, though we don't think you will have trouble using it all during the season!
What is NOT eligible to be purchased using my MarketShare credits?
-Please note, your MarketShare credits are not eligible towards purchases at our farm stand of products by other farmers (raw milk, pork, maple syrup, etc.), and are not eligible towards custom bakery orders.Once you sign up and pay the deposit on your CSA, you have secured your place in the CSA program for that season.
There are no refunds, either full or partial, for cancellation of a CSA once purchased. Members may choose to find an alternate person to buy out the rest of their season’s share, and the share ownership will be transferred to the alternate person, once we, the farm, have been notified in writing. The alternate person is responsible for paying the original shareholder directly.
