CSA or Community Supported Agriculture is a growing trend across the country with people who like to know where their food is grown and that it is picked fresh.  Members join before the growing season begins, giving the grower the capital necessary to begin the season.  Members receive a share of fruits and vegetables weekly for 20 weeks starting in May and ending in September.  By supporting the farmer, you are contributing to your community and your health in many ways.  CSA’s promote local jobs, protect valuable farmland and create sustainable food resources for the local area.

Participation Terms and Conditions
Our 20-week CSA season is May 9th  through September 27th
By signing up for the CSA, you are committing to the entire 20-week season.
If you are unable to pick up your weekly box you may send a friend or neighbor to pick it up for you.  MFN must be notified of any changes at least one day before the scheduled pick-up.  If it is not picked up without advance notice, we will redistribute your produce and you will forfeit the box for that week.
The box will be filled with a variety of fruits and vegetables according to availability.
CSA Members enjoy the bounty but also the risk of the farming season.  All produce is subject to availability and may vary according to climate factors and not guaranteed.  The items in each weekly box will be the freshest and best quality available and picked and packed carefully.
Mayfield Farm and Nursery reserves the right to obtain produce from other local farmers if we experience unpredictable loss due to unforeseen weather conditions.
