What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a relationship between community members and our small farm. Members commit to a whole season, allowing the farmer to crop plan with assurance. Members receive access to the widest variety and abundance of nutritious vegetables from our farm, access to bulk preserving packages, and occasional discounts.
How does it work?
NEW FOR 2024!
Due to a number of factors we are changing the way we do CSA.
This year when you buy a CSA with Moon River Farm you will get:
A package of 18 visits to any 2024 Moon River Farm sales event
(Wolf Moon Farm Stand, Pop Ups, Manzanita Farmers Market).
Show up to any of our farm stands or market booths and pick out 6 items from the stand. Come any time between late May and November, no need to schedule them. We will track how many weeks you've used so you don't have to.
Gone for the month of August? No problem! Hate kale and love cucumbers? Take whatever you want!
More details:
Use any time during our season, late May to November
Market style pickup, pack your own share
Your choice of vegetables
Flexible schedule
Try new things, eat more vegetables
Available at any of our market or stand locations
Support the farm by committing to eating locally
Shares are $525 for the year, (payment plans available upon request)
Where can I use my share?
You can pick up vegetables at any of our market or farm stand locations:
Wednesdays, 3 to 6 Farm stand behind WOLFMOON Bakery
mid June to early November (and winter pop-ups)
Fridays 4 to 7, Manzanita Farmers Market
late May to late September
Although we sometimes sell out of popular items, our availability has increased a lot in the last few years. We almost always have a good selection of veggies throughout the day. But, if you have your heart set on a particular thing, make sure to get there early.
What counts as an "item"?
This varies from crop to crop. It could be a bag or a bunch or a pound. A few popular items are:
1 bag salad
1 pound tomatoes
1 box cherry tomatoes
1 bunch beets
1 bunch or 1 pound carrots
1 bag green beans
1 pound cucumber
*You also don't have to pick 6 different items, you can get more than one of any of the veggies.
What if I want more than 6 items?
Sounds great. You'll just pay for the additional items in person.
Can I share with a friend?
Sure. Just let us know if you want somebody else to be able to use your shares and we'll add their name to your "punch card."
Can I use more than one share a week?
Yes. If you have company coming or just want extra veggies, you can use more than one share at a time. However, we can't split a single share over multiple weeks (eg, get 3 items one week and 3 the next).
What if I don't use up my shares?
Shares are only good through the end of 2024. No refund or credit is available for shares left over after December.

What does it cost?
Flex Shares are $525 for the 2024 season.
We accept SNAP payments for CSA shares. Snap members pay half price! Read here about how we accept SNAP and then proceed to the sign up page and select SNAP when checking out.
It is our preference for members to pay in full at the beginning of the season. However we understand that this can be a burden, if you would like to pay in installments please reach out to us to arrange a payment plan.
Is CSA right for me?
Do you like vegetables?
Do you value local, nutritious, tasty produce?
Do you like to cook or have an interest in cooking more regularly?
Is a relationship with a local farm important to you?
Are you up for trying new types of vegetables?
If you answered yes to most of these questions, then CSA may be for you!
