HOW THE CSA WORKS
Springdale Farm CSA
As a member of Springdale Farm you will receive the freshest possible, certified organic produce harvested by us and delivered to you!
The CSA season starts in late June, and continues until early November, for a total of 20 weeks. Following the 20-week season, the CSA carries on with a Late Fall share, comprised of three bi-weekly deliveries in late November and December. Then during the months January through March we offer home deliveries (or pick up at the farm) of all farm products. Find info below about our share sizes, delivery options, and other add-ons for your share. The shares are delivered in reusable plastic totes to our 19 different pick-up locations.
If you are wondering what a 'CSA' is or have questions about our program please check out our CSA FAQ page,
or feel free to send us a message!
All vegetable shares are customized to your desires! See CSA FAQ for details!

Share benefits
Purchase Farm Extras
Order “extra” items that we would include in your share, drawing from either our own extra veggies, or those sourced from other farms.
Delivery Flexibility
Vacation planned? Or perhaps you don’t need any veggies for one delivery? You can easily re-schedule, or put on hold, your delivery for that week.
Reduced Food Waste
Because the contents of your share will be customized according to your wishes (see CSA FAQ), you will have less veggies to toss or compost!
Payment Plans
You can either pay all at once, or you can pay for 4 deliveries at a time. If you pay all at once by check, you will be offered a 6% discount on the total amount due. (No discount with full payment using a credit card.) If you choose to get billed for 4 deliveries, your credit card will be automatically charged for the first 4 deliveries, and then upon completion of those 4 deliveries, you will automatically be charged for the next four deliveries, and so forth for the duration of the season.
Payment for the 3-delivery Late Fall Share will be only available as a payment-in-full basis, either by check or credit card. (Same 6% discount with payments made by check.)
Payment for the winter home deliveries will take place by credit card, and will be billed for each delivery separately, at the time that the a la carte orders are placed.
