The 2019 Season
CSA members get to try unique varieties of common vegetables such as this purple cauliflower.
2019 CSA Season (sessions)
We heard you needed more flexibility in your CSA season. This year our season is broken up into two sessions. You can sign up for the full season (both sessions) all at once or either of the two sessions individually. Space is limited. If you know you want to participate in both sessions, please sign up for the Full Season.
- Full Season is 28 weeks long, this includes two 14-week sessions, with a one week break between the two.
- Session ONE (14 weeks) is the week of May 13th through the week of August 12th
- Session TWO (14 weeks) is the week of August 28th through November 25th

Our share options are Full Share and Partial Share.

Signups and Payment
Common Harvest uses the Member Assembler platform for online signups. Member Assembler will send reminders when payments are due.
- Returning members can login to their existing Member Assembler account to choose sessions, share size, and site locations for the 2019 season.
- New Members can inquire about share availability.
- Pay online through Member Assembler (returning CSA members can use the link below to sign in) by using PayPal or send us a check by mail.
Add-ons
- Weekly Add-ons In addition to your regular share of vegetables, there are opportunities to add other farm products such as weekly Egg shares from the Red Tractor Farm and flower bouquets from Moon on the Meadow Farm. This will be added to your share through Member Assembler, and the additional cost will be added to your season payment or installment payments.
- Spontaneous Surplus Add-ons Some of your CSA farmers may have seasonal surplus that can be purchased in larger quantities. This will be advertised through the E-Newsletter and the Common Harvest Facebook Page. You may add these to your weekly share through Member Assembler as they become available.
More Good Stuff
- Give-A-Share You can sign up to give a CSA share to someone else. We believe that anybody who wants to eat nutritious, locally raised, and organically grown food should have the opportunity to do so! So we have partnered with Sunrise Project in Lawrence to match us with families or individuals in our community who would not otherwise have access to a CSA subscription, enabling them to receive a season's worth of fresh, organically grown produce. When someone chooses to donate a CSA share through us, they send us the cost of the full or partial share, and Sunrise Project then puts us in contact with a suitable family or individual to receive the share. Please contact us directly to set this up.
- E-Newsletter Each week we send a newsletter to the email address you supply in Member Assembler. The newsletter acts as a reminder to pick up your share and provides a list of possible vegetables that will be included in your share. We also provide recipes, storage tips and farm updates.
- Common Harvest CSA Facebook Page Each week's newsletter will also be posted to the Common Harvest page on Facebook. Farmers will also pass along additional information about farm happenings and recipes. Members are encouraged to share their own recipes and CSA pictures. If you follow the Common Harvest CSA Facebook Page, please check the "get notifications" box or you may not see all the posts.
- Swap Basket! If there's something you don't want, you can leave it in the basket and take something else from the basket.
- Vacations or Out-of-town? Members can also use Member Assembler to schedule a hold for a week while they are out of town as well as to schedule a double share after they get back to make up for the share they missed.
