Community Supported Agriculture

Posted on: January 21st, 2021

It’s that time again to decide if you’re wanting to be a part of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)! This year we’re going with Aspen Moon Farm CSA. This one is handled differently than how Black Cat Farms handled theirs, and this past season offered many weeks of plentiful produce along with the ability to choose which veggies you will receive each week.

I’m Liz Wiig and live on Main Street in the old Sand home. I’m your new coordinator for this CSA and will organize the pickup and distribution of the shares. Debra Yeager and I have decided to go in this direction and I will be handling all of the elements of this opportunity for us so Debra will be free to focus on the Food Pantry and other community programs.

Aspen Moon Farm is located near Longmont and grows a large variety of organic and biodynamic produce. In addition to their 18- or 22-week summer CSA, you can add on a flower share (grown on their farm), fruit share (from Ela Family Farm), or bread share (from Moxie Bakery), with an option to sign up for their extended Fall CSA.

If you would like to sign up, please follow the instructions below and SEND ME AN EMAIL once you have done so. You are welcome to team up with others to split shares or purchase one just for your household. They will likely sell out of shares so I’d recommend doing so sooner than later!

**Please mark “Boulder” as your pickup location and write that you are with the Gold Hill group in the notes section at check-out.

Remember to send me (lizwiig@nullgmail.com) and email letting me know that you have signed up!**

The fruit and bread add-ons will be available for signup in the Spring.
Flexible Payment Plans We know paying up front for a share can be tough on the budget. With our shares, you’ll have two different payment options. We’ll review them here:
1. Pay in Full at the time of sign-up
2. Payment Plan
a. You’ll pay 25% down at sign-up
b. You’ll pay an additional 25% + 1st share the first week of CSA
c. Then, the additional 50% balance will be split evenly throughout the
remainder of the season. This will be charged to your card on file.

Once your order has been completed and your card has been charged, you will receive an email series that will provide you with info about how to use your Harvie account for Aspen Moon CSA. *If you prefer to pay by check, please email us directly at info@nullaspenmoonfarm.com.

We now offer CUSTOMIZABLE shares through Harvie, our online farm share management software. Once you sign up for a share, you’ll be asked to rate all the products we have to offer on a scale of “not for me” to “I love it.” Your share will be built based on those preferences and what we have available in season at the time. Don’t like zucchini? Rate them a “not for me” and you won’t ever see them! Love carrots? Give them an “I love it” and we’ll try to get that to you every time they are available!

Read about preferences here.

Swap your veggies! Prior to your delivery, you’ll have the option to swap out items if you want! Already have enough greens this week? Just swap them out for something else we have available that week.

And don’t worry, if you love the surprise of not knowing what is in your share, you can simply skip setting preferences and customizing and we’ll pack a regular ‘ole awesome share for you to pick up!

Read about how to swap items here.

Going on vacation? Traveling? No problem. Harvie has a built in tool that will allow you to place your share on “hold” or reschedule it for a future date within your season.

Read about how to reschedule or hold your share here.

Join us this season and we’ll provide shares of farm-fresh produce customized to your personal preferences!
