Terms and Conditions: During the CSA registration process, members check a box saying that they have reviewed our CSA Terms and Conditions.

SNAP Benefits: If you have SNAP food benefits in 2024, you can participate in Double Up Food Bucks (see below) - we will coordinate to set up monthly autopayments. If you have SNAP cash benefits, we can accept payment at the Salem Saturday Market by special arrangement (contact us at csa@mintogrowers.com).

Double Up Food Bucks: For 2024, we are participating in this program that pays for half of a CSA produce share, if a member has SNAP food benefits. This program makes the CSA share more affordable while continuing to provide income to the farm.

Returning 2023 CSA members can select the SNAP/EBT payment option when registering. We also have a limited number of shares reserved for new CSA members with SNAP food benefits to participate in Double Up Food Bucks.

Contact us at csa@mintogrowers.com if you would like more information.

Box Contents

Your CSA share will include a wide variety of seasonal vegetables, with consistent staples like salad greens and cooking greens, onions and garlic, herbs, plus new vegetables for you to discover and enjoy. Fruit will be in your shares some weeks - strawberries, blueberries, and melons from our farm, and some years we will provide grapes, apples, or other fruit from nearby farms. We’ve learned over the years that our members’ tastes vary wildly - some love kale (like us farmers) while others don't, the same goes for pretty much every vegetable, except for perhaps blueberries. Thus, we try hard to keep your shares diverse, while also providing more of the things people universally enjoy, like carrots! 

Full Share - For families of 2-5 that enjoy vegetables and cook often and/or for those who want to split the share with family, friends, or neighbors. Supplies all of the vegetable needs for a given week depending on your family size and cooking frequency. Full shares receive between 8 and 12 different types of produce each week.

Partial Share - For families of 1-5 that want some vegetables, but may also garden or enjoy shopping at farmers markets or other produce outlets. Supplies all or most of the vegetable needs for a given week depending on your family size and cooking frequency. Partial shares receive between 7 and 10 different types of produce each week.

The Partial share is roughly 2/3 the size of the Full share. It is not simply a Full share minus 1/3, but its own share individually crafted to be diverse yet balanced. Because Full shares receive more items, they often get more fruit and more diversity over the entire season. Partial shares get nearly all the same items, but not necessarily on the same weeks (fruits and vegetables do not ripen uniformly), or in as much quantity (the Partial share is smaller and lower priced). However, we try very hard to make each share full of the produce people like the most - blueberries, carrots, tomatoes, and more. 

Please go to the FAQ page for a list of vegetables, the frequency with which they appear in shares, and answers to other common questions.

Add-On Options - Our CSA also provides options to add on pasture-raised eggs from local Henny Farms, fresh-roasted coffee beans from local roaster Steel Bridge Coffee, sourdough bread from local baker Manna Bakery, or flower bouquets from Homestead Farms. CSA members can choose weekly or one-time deliveries of add-on options throughout the season. In 2024, our seasonal preservation boxes (to make your own salsa, tomato sauce, sauerkraut, pickles, or hot sauce) will be available through the Farm Stand rather than the CSA.

CSA Newsletter

Every CSA week, you will receive an e-newsletter with information about your produce, recipes, and farm news. Your CSA membership also includes a subscription to Cook With What You Have, a wonderful resource for seasonal recipes, storage and preparation tips, and more.

Farm Events

CSA members are encouraged to explore the farm any time of year. We have at least one event each season specifically for CSA members - with vegetable tastings, wood fired pizza, and a farm tour. This year we are adding a monthly volunteer event for CSA members, to provide more opportunities to get to know you and involve you in all the fun activities on the farm!
