SAY  HELLO  TO  FRESH  FOOD  DELIVERED WEEKLY.

Welcome to the Common Harvest CSA. Juicy heirloom tomatoes, crisp salad greens, sweet peppers, earthy baby potatoes, strawberries and more — look forward to these fresh produce items through the Common Harvest CSA. Common Harvest CSA is a collaboration of four certified organic growers located in Douglas County.  We are excited to offer healthy, organic food straight from our farms to  Lawrence and Kansas City residents, University of Kansas staff and students, and to employees at several area businesses and organizations. 

CSAs, or community supported agriculture programs, provide weekly produce deliveries for individuals and families, who in turn support the farms growing the produce through the purchase of a share, or subscription.

We take pride in providing our CSA members with the highest quality local produce available, as well as the opportunity to support sustainable agriculture, reduce energy consumption, contribute to a cleaner environment,  strengthen the local economy and enhance the economic viability of family farms.

Here's how the CSA works: 

• Subscribers receive a bag each week of seasonal produce that is fresh and ready to eat from the fields of our four farms in Douglas County.  The bag will typically contain a variety of vegetables, herbs, some small fruit, and sometimes eggs.  
• Quantities are always a manageable size, and generally based on the amount required for a typical four-serving recipe.
• Prices are based on grocery store prices of produce of comparable quality.  Depending on the CSA you sign up for, the price of the bag will be $13-$18 per week, including sales tax.  Payment can be made in six installments or for the entire season.  
• You can pay by installment - options for monthly payments and reminders will be offered when you sign up.
• We use the website, commonharvestcsa.com,  Facebook and a weekly e-newsletter to feature news from the farm, information on the different types of vegetables, tips on produce preparation and storage, and recipes to try.
• If you will be gone for a pick-up please arrange for a family member, friend, or neighbor to pick up that week’s bag.  We will donate the produce to a charitable organization if it is not picked up. Payment is your responsibility whether you pick up your produce or not.

New this year!

• We are now using Small Farm Central for online signup and payment. You'll get your own account with regular reminders of payments, and even schedule CSA pickup reminders. 
• We now have an individual home delivery option in the city limits of Lawrence.
• You can also sign up to give a CSA share. 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. 
  
• We'll still offer the take one/leave one basket -- if there's something you don't want, you can leave it in the basket and take something else from the basket. 
• Larger item sizes. We heard from many of you that sometimes, there wasn't enough of something in the bag to make a recipe, so we will strive for larger amounts when possible. A partial share will be 4-5 items, and a full share will be 6-7 items.
• We now offer a consolidated campus CSA pick up location at Watkins Health Center, pickup at Sunrise Greenhouse, 1501 Learnard Ave., and at City Hall. 

The signup period for the 2018 season will open Feb. 1.
