2024 Flower CSA Shares Information

All shares are OPEN for registration and can be purchased in the Shop

Support your local farmer and revel in all the floral glory with a Flower Share!

A refreshing variety of foliage and flowers, harvested at the peak moment for maximum quality & enjoyment. Each bouquet comes protected in a recyclable paper wrapping.

All bouquets are Farmer’s choice and will be a mix of the best that is available that week, arranged in a complimentary color scheme. Over the duration of the share you can expect the varieties, colors and textures to shift, reflecting the stunning diversity of our seasons.

By purchasing a share you are literally ‘sharing’ in the benefits and risk that is working in agriculture during our current erratic times of unforeseen weather related circumstances and potential crop loss. Please be advised that a CSA share is a good faith purchase in which the intention is to reward members for their investment in the growth and financial viability of the farm with a ‘gift’ of flowers according to a pre-determined bouquet pick-up format.

Farmer reserves the right to make changes to the format or pick-up schedule in order to accommodate the crop readiness, and to best grant the member the agreed upon value of their share within the limits of the full growing season.

Lucia Rising Farm Stand, East Dummerston VT

CSA FAQ’s

  • CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.

    Purchasing a share means you are participating in the losses and gains of farm production. Not all plants are happiest under the same conditions and inevitably when one crop doesn’t do well another will produce an outstanding number of blooms. As a member, unless extreme circumstances deem otherwise, you will receive a flower bouquet on pre-determined days for the duration of your chosen share. If unexpected devastation occurs, members will be notified and if possible, an alternate offer up to the value of the share will be announced.

    The production cycle of a farm is a full year. Your share cost helps me to prepare for the season ahead through the necessary purchase of seed, tools and materials. Refunds can not be made. I rely on memberships to invest in the endeavor of farming, and to grow my business. I deeply appreciate the support of my community.

  • Purchasing a share means that at best, you get to experience the best of the best blooms all season long. Each bouquet will always be a mix of what is currently in bloom. When certain varieties are in short supply, CSA members have first priority. Each individual CSA bouquet is of a higher value than our standard bouquet. Your share purchase helps a local farmer’s efforts to stay financially solvent, supports the environment, and keeps your dollars in our community.

  • We understand that life gets busy. If you know you will be away or are otherwise unable to make a pick-up you may arrange to have a neighbor or friend pick-up your flowers to deliver to you or to keep for themselves. We are unable to arrange for alternative pick-up dates.

  • Yes!

    We love the idea of friends, family, lovers, colleagues, etc. sharing in the cost and bounty of a flower share. A maximum of two people or families can be tied to a singular share and it is up to you to determine who gets the flowers when. Only one recipient name will be required on the membership form.
