2022 CSA SUMMER SHARE OPTIONS

Members who join Hart|Beet Farm's CSA will receive regular deliveries of fresh vegetables throughout the growing season. The produce from our farm is grown without the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. The majority of the produce you receive is harvested just the day before. Our CSA runs for 24 weeks, starting around late May and continuing to around through the end of October. At the time of signup, members are required to make a season-long commitment with Hart|Beet Farm. A payment is required at the time of signup to secure your membership. All payments must be made in full by May 1st. 

Currently, we can only accept members who can pick up in Lincoln, St. Charles, St Louis, and St Louis City counties. Let us know if you are interested in becoming a member but live outside this area. See our pickup locations.

    Optional Donations

    We believe that everyone, no matter their income, should have access to fresh, local produce. We have created 2 initiatives to expand access to our produce in the local community. Any funds contributed will go directly to these initiatives. However, please be aware that, as we are a for-profit organization, your contributions are not tax-deductible. Also, your decision to contribute to these initiatives does not effect your own Member Application in any way. 

    Fresh Produce for All
    During the farmers market season, individuals participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will receive $1 worth of additional fresh produce for every SNAP dollar spent with us. Seniors participating in the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (MoSFMNP) receive a 50% discount on fresh produce. 

    CSA Pay-It-Forward
    For the 2022 season, we are working to make a limited number of Half Shares available at a reduced-rate for community members on a limited income.

    Membership Guidelines

    As a member of Hart|Beet Farm, you will share in the bounty and risks that are a part of farming. Membership with our farm is a season-long commitment. You will have the opportunity to connect more deeply with the food you will eat, the farm and people growing that food, and our larger member community. Our commitment to you, starts the moment you become a member. As such, we do not offer refunds for shares. If you cannot finish out the season, we encourage you to find another household that may be able to take on your share. 

    We have a limited number of memberships available. Your place will not be officially held until we receive your first payment. Payments must be made in full by May 1st. If you are having trouble completing your payment, please contact us immediately. 

    All shares will be delivered weekly to your local host site. You will have a specific day and timeframe in which to pick up your share. If you cannot pick up in the designated timeframe, it is your responsibility to make other arrangements, notify your site host, or contact us to cancel you share for that week. Your shares will be delivered in 3/4 bushel, wax-coated boxes. Please bring a bag or other container with you to your pickup site to transfer your produce into. The wax boxes should be left at your host site where we will pick them up during the next week's delivery. 

    A newsletter will be emailed to you each week on delivery day. These newsletters will list the contents of your box each week, recipe ideas, and news about the farm. From time to time we will use the newsletter to convey important information.
