How Our CSA Works

Your-Choice CSA

How CSA works:

Choice and flexibility. High-quality and nutrient-dense. Fresh and pesticide-free. Connection and community.

CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, is a simple way for you to access fresh, local produce from farmers you know and trust using a subscription-like model.

Committing to a farm in the pre-season enables the farmers to purchase the supplies they need to start the season early in the year. In exchange, they plan for and reserve a share of the harvest for you at a discounted price.

We offer different sized shares, sliding-scale pricing, and flexible payment plans. We accept SNAP/EBT and Work-For-Share arrangements. Each week we send out a member newsletter with farm news, photos, recipe inspiration, and tips and tricks for the kitchen.

Memberships are limited each year and signing-up early reserves your share. We’ve sold out the last few years, don’t delay!

Your-Choice?—what’s that about?

For on-farm pickups, you get to choose what kinds of produce you take home each week from a market-style set up. We call it a Your-Choice CSA. Don’t like fennel? No problem, choose something else!

There are two share sizes:

A large-share member chooses 12 items each week, sized to feed one household with 2-4+ veggie loving people. This is by far the biggest veggie bang for buck and the best deal on the farm!

A small-share member chooses 6 items each week. This share is sized for one household with 1-2 adults.

An “item” may be one head of lettuce, a bag of spinach, a pound of carrots, a bunch of basil, etc. depending on the harvest.



A Pitch for the Large Share:

12 items can feel like lot of veg, and it is! It’s great for bigger families and serious veggie eaters, but there are many ways for others to utilize a large share too:

*If eating healthier is a goal of yours, bringing home a lot of produce is a good place to start! We’ll help with veggie-heavy recipe inspiration.
*Cook big meals to share with others!
*We offer more than veggies! Flower bouquets, local fruit from other farms, ground beef, seedlings etc. are sometimes available and often count as 2+ items
*Think pesto, tomato sauce and other big batch things. And smoothies! And soups! And and and!
*More herbs! Everyday!
*Put some food away for winter! We love to freeze basil pesto, tomato sauce, cooking greens, and string beans, to name a few.
*Fill the “root cellar” with storage crops at the end of the season for winter eating.

What produce will I get?

The vegetables available will change according to the season and growing conditions. There are usually 15-20 different things coming out of the field each week, and over 40 different crops throughout the season.

Spring: spinach, lettuce, arugula, radishes, dill, cilantro, bok choy, snap peas, beets, carrots, kale, scapes, chard, scallions, cabbage, salad turnips, kohrabi and…

Summer: cucumbers, summer squash and zucchini, green beans, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, fresh garlic, fresh onions, basil and….

Fall: Like spring all over, but with added storage crops like potatoes, turnips, celeriac, winter squash, onions and shallots and garlic and…

Plus! All members have access to you-pick flowers while they are in season, usually mid-July through first frost.

We’re committed to making fresh food financially accessible. We believe that everyone should have access to organic, high-quality food regardless of income and economic status. We also believe that farmers and farm laborers should be paid fairly. Please do not let the cost of the share get in the way of you joining.

How much does it cost (2026)?

We use Sliding-Scale Pricing, which asks you to consider your financial resources before choosing how much to pay for the share.

There are three levels:
Level 1 “Deeper Discount”— for those who face financial hardship
Level 2 “Regular”–this is the base price for the year which includes a standard CSA discount
Level 3 “Contributor”–this tier is for those who don’t need any discount and who choose to pay in full (closer to our retail prices)

All levels are eligible for flexible payment plans (see below).

Vestal-Organic YogaLarge (12 items)$790.00 ($39.50/week)$875.00 ($43.75/week)$960.00 ($48.00/week)

We trust you to decide for yourself which level is right for your situation, no questions asked. Level 3 inches us towards a thriving, hopeful, and sustainable future here on the farm where we can keep up with rising expenses, earn and offer living wages, and be sure our food remains accessible to anyone who wants it. 

We know the cost of a share may still be out of reach for some. In addition to accepting SNAP/EBT, we can also offer a limited number of subsidized shares through our community supported Share Fund. Email us if you need to tap into this support! info@wandercreekfarm.com

How to sign up and reserve your spot:

It’s simple! Head to the Join Our CSA page to fill out a sign up form.

Your spot will be reserved once you make a payment. We will email you with a confirmation of receipt.

We prefer checks and cash payments, but can accept Venmo if necessary. For other payment methods, please email us.

We’ll message you later in the spring with details about the start date.

If you can, please consider supporting our food access efforts through our Share Fund!

Payment Options

Upfront payment is best for the farm, however we also welcome you to pay in chunks between now and the start of the season. Payments may be made in 2-5 installments before May 1st in whatever amounts work for you. We suggest sending post-dated checks with your first payment/deposit so you don’t have to think about it again!

We can accept SNAP/EBT, Work-For-Share arrangements, and are open to barter–email us for details!

When and where do I pickup my share?

On-farm: Thursdays from 3:30-6:00 pm. Simply come to our farm (301 Quinn Rd in Greene) and you’ll see a pickup pavilion from the road with a small parking lot. Just bring your bags, sign in, and select your number of items, as if you were at a farmers market. That’s it!

Oxford: Saturday mornings in Lafayette Park from 9:00-12:00pm. Come find us in our market tent and shop away! We’ll keep track of your market credit balance and let you know when you’re low.

Vestal: Wednesdays from 4:00-8:15pm at Organic Yoga and Wellness (108 N Jensen Road, Vestal). Just pop in and grab your box, or stick around for a class–CSA members get a discounted 10 class pass!

Oxford Farmers’ Market Memberships

We offer “Market Credit Memberships” to our committed customers in Oxford. Here’s how it works:

*When you pay up front, you receive 10% extra credit to be used at the market. Sign Up here!
*Market Credit can be used on anything that we’ve grown or raised at in-person Oxford Markets during the current season.
*No weekly commitment, shop as you please.
*We’ll keep track of your balance.
*Don’t worry, members still get our totally amazing weekly emails 😉
*The membership starts at $500.00 and gets you $550.00. Spread out evenly over the market season, this would be about a small share’s worth. Credit may be added in increments of $100 with a 10% added credit. You can add credit throughout the season.
*Memberships expire at the end of the year and credit cannot be carried over into the next year.
*You can still pay in installments! We ask that your membership be paid in full before utilizing the credit.
*The main season market is from Memorial Day Weekend through the end of September.
