How does CSA to GO work?
CSA to GO memberships are available as weekly and bi-weekly deliveries for three, six or twelve month periods. CSA to GO members are asked to commit to a minimum weekly/bi-weekly order of $50/order (plus delivery fees). Each week our web store opens on Tuesdays at 8am and closes on Sundays at midnight. Web store selections are a mixture of meats, poultry, eggs, dairy items, fruits and vegetables and specialty foods. Selections vary from week to week and thus reflect the seasonal availability of different foods. Members are asked to visit our web store on a weekly or biweekly basis within the store hours and generate an order based upon the list of available products posted in our web store. This allows members to create a customized share that best suits the needs of their household and family as well as take advantage of the seasonality of many New England farm products. There are no restrictions as to what a member can order: you can order as little or as much as you like within the order minimum. Once the order has been placed, the order is processed and share contents are delivered to the member based upon the pre-arranged delivery terms. Memberships can start at any point, and arrangements can be made to suspend share delivery to accommodate vacation plans and special circumstances.
