- be personally involved in supporting local farmers and foods,
- trying new veggies that grow in the North, and
- save money as just harvested produce stays fresher much, much longer.

Additional produce will be available à la carte
- Your order will be ready to pick up on Wednesdays from 4:30-6:30 pm at The Boreal Farm
- Always keeping plastics and packaging at a minimum: you will need drop off two 28 quart coolers at the beginning of the season; then rotating these each week by picking up a full one and dropping off a clean, empty one
An email will be sent out each week as a reminder with a farm updates.
Note: a clean 28 quart cooler (only size we accept) with your name on the top and front, for us to fill and have ready to pick-up each week. Our past members have found this to be a super way to pick up their share and keep it fresh for hours from the summer heat. A 28 qt cooler is the same size as the typical grocery bag.
We look forward to filling your table this season!
The 2025 Summer CSA season will be 10 weeks from June 25 - August 27, 2025 (no pick-up week of July 4). Pick-up will be at The Boreal Farm on Wednesday from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m.
In joining The Boreal Farm CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), I understand and agree that farming is a seasonal and unpredictable undertaking. Pests, predation, disease, and weather can cause crop failure at any point in the growing season and we cannot issue refunds in the case of crop failure partial or in full.
I understand the size and number of items in my box will fluctuate each week throughout the growing season.
My certified organic share will vary from week-to-week depending on what is best in season at the time, and the farmer has the discretion to make substitutions.
The Boreal Farm will, to the best of its ability, provide the freshest, highest quality produce possible—however, I understand I am assuming a mutual risk with my farmer. Risk can include partial or complete crop shortages and/or failures.
Payment for CSA membership is due at the time of sign-up. Memberships are non-refundable, any full or partial refund is at the sole discretion of The Boreal Farm.
I agree to provide two clean 28 qt coolers labeled with my last name on the lid and front by June 15 and subsequently, provide a clean cooler each week for my share.
I agree to pick up my share at the agreed upon location and time each week or arrange for someone else to pick up my share and notify The Boreal Farm.
I understand that if I do not pick up my share it will be donated to a local charity of The Boreal Farm’s choosing.
