Cultivator CSA

Not Your Ordinary CSA!

How does it work?

Our Cultivator CSA is designed for folks who want to support GRuB’s work as well as receive great produce and flowers! For 15 weeks from June to September, you’ll pick up your weekly share of healthy, local produce at the GRuB Farm and we’ll also send good food home with youth in our Cultivating Youth program. These same youth run the Cultivator CSA and are responsible for the high quality of your boxes.

How much does it cost?

We set the base value of your CSA share at $300 (a great deal). Then we ask you to become a Cultivator by sponsoring a Youth Share for $250 (this portion is tax-deductible!).  The total cost of your CSA is $550. Your support enables a low-income youth crewmember to bring the fruits of their labor home. This reduces strain on the family budget and often introduces healthier food into the family diet. Concerned it’ll be too much food or out of your budget? Consider going in with another family or a group of friends!

What’s included in my share?

Each week you’ll take home a box of fresh vegetables as well as a small bouquet of seasonal flowers. Each box will include a newsletter sharing farm happenings, recipes, GRuB updates, and special youth writings. To get an idea of what goes into the boxes each week, and for an insight into summer 2010, check out our archived CSA Newsletters.
