CSA SHARE DETAILS

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A LITTLE FLOWER FARM SHARE?
When you sign up for a vegetable share with little flower farm and make your season’s payment in March you will receive a weekly bag of seasonal vegetables every week for 18 weeks beginning in June and ending in October. In the fall we are also hoping to provide apples to our members. Members also get first dibbs on milk shares, and other first come first serve opportunities to reserve whole chickens, pork shares, and to purchase our free range cage-less eggs at a discount. Members will also be invited to come join us for work and tour days, which will give you and your families an opportunity to meet the animals and experience a day in the life on a small family farm.

HOW DO THE WEEKLY VEGETABLE DELIVERIES WORK?
Each member will be issued 2 little flower farm vegetable totes. We will use these to pack your weekly share in. There will be a designated drop off site in Stillwater (Loomes’ Theological Booksellers) and in Marine (TBD) as well as in White Bear Lake. Each week your bag will be dropped at your preffered site and the remaining tote will be used for the following week. When you pick up your weekly share at the drop site, please bring your empty tote with you to leave for us to pick up. Your shares will not be refrigerated at the drop sites, so please be prompt in picking up your bag. Shares will be delivered in the morning on Thursdays. If you are interested in purchasing eggs in addition to your weekly share we can deliver those as well.

WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE SOME OF THE VEGGIES INCLUDED IN MY SHARE?
We recommend that members set up an area at the drop site where you can leave the produce you don’t want and trade it for something someone else has left. Otherwise, we repeat what your Mother used to say: “EAT IT ANYWAY! IT’S GOOD FOR YOU!”

WHEN CAN I COME VISIT THE FARM?
Pretty much any time! Email us.
