Volunteering on the Farm: Working vs. Non-Working Shares
You have the opportunity to volunteer alongside the farm crew throughout the season. When you register, you may choose a "working share" indicating that you will volunteer in exchange for a reduced CSA rate. If you do not want to volunteer, sign up for a "non-working share." To learn more about CSA volunteer opportunities, visit this page.
Payment Plan Options
Most CSA members pay for the entire share in the spring when we have a lot of expenses (such as seeds, seed-starting soil, and labor) and no vegetables for sale. You can also choose an incremental payment plan throughout the season in two or more payments throughout the season. We also offer a limited number of free or significantly discounted shares for low-income individuals and families. Barter shares may be available as well. Email us at info@seedsongfarm.org to inquire.
You-Pick Vegetables and Herbs
You will have the opportunity to harvest you-pick vegetables and herbs as part of your CSA share. This year, some you-pick items will count as a "vegetable units" and other you-pick items will be a free, bonus addition to your share. Planned you-pick vegetables and herbs include peas, cherry tomatoes, husk cherries, green beans, tomatillos, okra, basil, dill, cilantro, and parsley.

- Choice of vegetables: A variety of vegetables will be available each week to choose from, so you choose which vegetables you would like to take home each week.
- Vegetable units: Each share size is associated with a number of "vegetable units." One vegetable unit could be one bunch of carrots, one watermelon, 6 ears of sweet corn, a bag of baby lettuce, a number of tomatoes, a bunch of kale, etc. The number of vegetable units you sign up for indicates the number of vegetable units you can pick each week. If you particularly love kale or some other vegetable, you can choose multiple units of that vegetable when they are not restricted. (Typically, a vegetable is restricted when it first becomes ripe for 1-2 weeks due to limited supply). If you do not like a particular vegetable, you do not need to choose that vegetable at all.
