Frequently Asked Questions

What Does CSA Stand for? 
Community supported agriculture (CSA) is actually pretty simple....think of it as a food subscription.  You purchase an annual or seasonal subscription and we deliver a weekly, every-other-week, or monthly box of fresh seasonal foods.  Most CSAs only offer vegetables, but because the Bayfield Foods CSA has 22 producer-members we can offer you veggies, meats, fruit, bakery, and even fresh cut flowers.  Here's how it works
How Does it Work?

  • Vegetable (Small, Medium, and Large ) 
  • All Inclusive (Small, Medium, and Large) 
  • Cheese (One size
  • Flower (One size)
  • Tulip (One size) 
  • Fruit (One size) 
  • Bakery  (Small or Large) 
  • Sweet (One size) 
What Time of year  do you offer Shares?
Shares are available year around! The year is split into 3 different seasonal subscriptions
  • 22 week Summer Subscription (Beginning of June to the end of October)
  • 8 week Spring Subscription (April and May)
  • 16 week Winter Subscription (First of November to the end of March)
What are your payment options? 
We offer a PAY AS YOU GO payment option: 
On sign up your initial payment is for your first share delivery.  Once the season starts - you pay only when you receive a delivery
You can also pay in full - please reach out to the csamanager if you would like to do this
What is harvie? 
Harvie is the software platform we uses to help us run our CSA! They allow us to help create customizable boxes for our members!
How frequent are deliveries
Most seasonal subscriptions offer shares that can be deliveries weekly or every other week. 
Can I skip or reschedule a share?
Members can skip as many shares as they need to.  You will only be charged for shares that are delivered.
​
Members can also reschedule shares for different delivery dates if need to.  
I missed my box pick up what do I do? 
1st. Contact the pick up host at your designated pick up location to let them know.  You can reschedule a time to pick up your share directly with them.  
You can also contact the CSA Manager if you are unable to reach the pick up site host
