​​​​FAQs

 

What is a CSA and why join?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, but at its heart, it’s a simple idea: eat with the seasons and have a closer connection to where your food comes from.

​

By joining our CSA, you receive a share of what our farmers are harvesting throughout the season. What’s in your share changes as the fields change giving you a chance to enjoy produce when it’s at its freshest, discover new favorites and experience the natural rhythm of a working farm.

 

Your membership also has a direct impact. CSA members commit to the farm and its harvest, helping us plan ahead, invest in our fields and crew, care for the land and continue growing food right here in our community.

 

And because farming isn’t about uniformity, CSA shares celebrate food as it actually grows. A tomato might have a crack. A pepper might have a curve. What matters is that it was grown with care, harvested close to home and tastes great. It’s more than a weekly share of produce. It’s a season of eating locally, trying new things and taking part in the farm’s harvest right alongside us.

 

How do I know the contents of my share each week?

You receive an email each Monday evening sharing the contents of your share. Contents are subject to change.

​

What is the weekly value of each share? 

Fruit & Veggie Combo is $33/week and the Fruit Share is $27/week. However, our farmers always generously provide extra exceeding the weekly value.

​

*****Note: The first 2 of weeks of the CSA are naturally always much lighter as crops are just starting to come in especially with spring weather is so unpredictable. So the first 2 weeks are valued at ~ $28 (combo) $22 (fruit). Those who have participated in a seasonal CSA know firsthand, this more than balances out come August and September when shares are overflowing with abundance, often going well beyond the weekly value. In short, it works out great.

 

Do you have recipe suggestions for items in the share?

Recipe inspirations are in your email each week. Not sure what to do with something new or have an abundance of something? Ask your farm share greeters for pointers. Nearly everything you receive can be preserved.

 

What does the pick-up process look like?

​Pick-up is farmers market style with crates of crops on tables with clear signage above of how many to take of each item. Utilize the swap table where you may exchange an item for one you prefer more. As always share contents are subject to change with harvesting. The CSA is monitored with greeters from 10 am - 6 pm with after hours sign-in from 6 - 8 pm.

​

What if I am unable to pick up on Wednesdays or I miss my pick up?

If you cannot make the pick up, you may designate another party to pick up your share. We cannot credit your share for the following week.

 

Do I have payment options?

Either pay:

  • Online - By credit card online in full amount + 3% processing fees or

  • Mail or hand deliver check - Pay in full by check (no fees). Print this registration form and deliver with your check in the full amount to the farm store between now and December 13, 2026 or mail with your check to Cider Hill Farm, 45 Fern Avenue, Amesbury MA 01913. Payable to Cider Hill Farm and have your check in a sealed envelope labeled 2027 CSA.

  • NOTE: If you are paying by credit card in the farm store at the registers, a 3% fee will be added.​

 

Are farm shares limited?

Yes. Based on our growing and harvesting capabilities, shares are limited. Please don't wait to register. Our farmers need to plan ahead.

 

Is everything in the CSA grown on the farm?

Nearly everything in our CSA is grown right here on our farm! To give the land time to rest and account for seasonal challenges, we began a partnership with Pioneer Valley Growers Association in Western MA to source as needed. This network of small farmers helps us provide members with a diverse selection and maintain high-quality, locally grown produce throughout the CSA season. We have been more than pleased with their attention to quality and service.

 

I am uncertain which share is right for my household.

You are always welcome to make adjustments during the CSA season. You are not locked into anything. Additionally, we offer a popular spring Market Card Sale each March where you can get a pre-loaded card to use in the farm store priced at $300 with a value of $350. This is great if you think the above share options are too large for your household, just purchase a card (sales goes live in March) and shop for your goods in the farm store instead. It's still a great options that benefits you and the farm. Still have questions? Email Valerie at events@ciderhill.com.​​
