Spaniola Farm Summer CSA program Member and Farmer Agreement 

​

​

Section 1. Introducing Our CSA Farm

A. Becoming a Part of Our Farm

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a relationship between our farm and you as our member. Rather than simply purchasing food, our members receive a portion of the farm’s harvest.

​

Our 2025 CSA Season is 22 weeks, from May 27– October 28.

​

When not using our delivery option, members are responsible for showing up at the farm each week, on Tuesday between 12pm-6pm, to pick up their share of freshly harvested produce and goods. Members will generally receive weight of produce, equivalent to two-three (one-two for half share members) grocery bags, with three bags probable (full share members). You should receive 4-15 item weekly. Detailed information regarding pick-up is discussed below in Section 3. Variety and quantity may vary as described below in Section 2.

 

​

Section 1. Introducing Our CSA Farm, Continued

B. Our Growing Practices

Our farm follows the guidelines for food safety practices published as FSMA, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act. And, the Michigan's Produce Risk Assessment Program. Inspected practices are consistent with the current U.S. Food and Drug Administration Produce Safety Rule.

​

Occasionally your produce will be washed, if it needs it, but most of the time it will not be. Even the most gentle washing method causes damage and unwashed produce has a significantly increased shelf life. So, wait until right before you use it to wash it for best results. We don't use any harmful chemicals in our grow operations so there will NOT be any on your food. We control pests with soap and water, vinegar, baking soda and certified organic Suff-X Oil (very rarely.)  We also test our water source and soils for harmful pathogens.

Washing Produce

​

Eggs, meat and dairy products come from animals that are not given antibiotics or growth hormones. Our animals are free range and are allowed continuous access to the outdoors during their production cycle. Our farm goods are produced without using specific conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation. For more information about production please ask. We’d be happy to tell you more.

​

The farm is in the process of obtaining certification from MAEAP Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program to prevent or minimize agricultural pollution risks.

​

Section 2. Our Shared Commitments

A. Sharing in the Risk of Crop Failure

We promise to do our best to provide you with a bountiful share each week. The quantity of produce, however, may vary from week-to-week/month-to-month/season-to-season due to weather, insects, or other production factors despite our best efforts. By joining our CSA, you are agreeing to share the risk of crop failure with us and other members. In the event of a crop failure, our procedure is as follows:

If only a small portion of crops fail, we compensate for the failed crops by filling your share with other crops grown on the farm that are ready for harvest at that time. If a large portion of crops fail, we may not be able to deliver any product in some weeks. Our farm does not supply any produce grown off farm at this time.

 

​

Section 2. Our Shared Commitments, Continued

B. Sharing in the Reward of Crop Surplus

At this time our farm does not sell to farmers markets. Our CSA members receive priority and overabundance during weeks when production is particularly high yielding. After filling your CSA share as much as possible with the week’s harvest, any remainder is recycled back into our regenerative farm.

 

​
