Eat Local-Lee Grown This Season!

Farmers Market Discount Program

 Our new discount program available to all that are interested in a Local-Lee Grown season eating the produce, eggs, fruit, and meat that we carry at Farmer’s Markets!

For those who haven’t heard of a CSA and what this means, I will explain a little bit and tell you how we are adapting this widely used program to fit our farms scheduals and hopefully still match the needs of our community. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. The basis of the idea is that for an upfront fee, usually early in the season, a family would reserve a share of food each week fresh from their local farmer. In this sense it helps the farmer out, in the early part of the season, when he or she could really use the upfront money to make sure all of the plantings happen on schedual and the rest of the farm is taken care of as well. This increases the contact between grower and customer, builds friendships, community and better food security for your family, as they will know right where they need to go to get their eggs/meat/veggies/fruit, etc. when needed.  In this way the customer and the farmer share the risk’s involved in agriculture. Especially those involving weather and the elements that cannot be controlled.  The system is being widly used by farmer’s and customer’s alike. There is no limit to the variations of this that can be thought up to suit a farm and that farm’s community.

On that note, due to a recent interest by some of our friends and customers in a CSA we have decided to arrange a program similar to a CSA but tweaked to fit our farm and our scheduals. We are’t calling it a CSA by name but that name signifies a greater meaning which is still what this program would stand for.  Right now our summer plans put us at at least 2 farmer’s markets and hopefully a third. Our idea is that, instead of making a pre-arranged basket of produce for interested customers to pick up each week, we would be happy to work out a discounted credit system to be used at the farmer’s markets we attend. 

We are offering the opportunity to purchase credit for our produce, eggs, pork and garlic.  This entails paying an upfront fee, of $300 at the beginning of the summer season and receiving $330  credit to spend on our products at the farmers markets we attend. The customer receives the benefit of credit for 10% more produce than they paid for, and they can take home any amount of the produce, meat, eggs, fruits, etc. that they want as long as we have it at market with us and until their $330 credit has been completely exchanged for fabulous food. 

We will be found at the Lee Farmer’s Market on Thursday afternoons from 3-6, and at Newmarket Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings from 9-1. 

This credit could be used on farm as well, with a call ahead of time. You can also have the opportunity to take a walk around our fields and meet our animals while deciding what you would like to take home with you.  Please contact us if you want to sign up to eat Local-Lee Grown food this season, and if you have any questions!

We look forward to a great season,
