Longhaul Farm Stand Shares

The Longhaul Farm Stand Share Program is our enhanced version of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). CSA** is a relatively new idea in farming based on a relationship of mutual support and commitment between local farmers and community members.

How does it work?

Longhaul’s patrons and friends (our community members) purchase Farm Stand Shares before the growing season, long before the harvest. This early pre-buy enables the farmer to plan the growing season, to cover pre-season expenses (such as organic fertilizer, seeds, and seedlings) and to pay for labor.

With a typical CSA, you use the share on a weekly basis when you are provided a basket of freshly harvested produce from the farm.

At LHF, we take a more flexible approach with the FSS program, knowing many members of our community aren’t here all summer. We also understand our community members prefer some choice in what they purchase, so our program expands beyond the harvest and lets you use your share for what you want, when you want it.

There is also a built in savings. When you buy a Farm Stand Share, you get 10-15% more value than what you paid in.

The value of your share can be used all season long to purchase:

  • fresh produce
  • baked goods
  • meals and specialty foods prepared in our farm kitchen (eat here or carry out!)
  • local dairy products
  • humanely raised, antibiotic & hormone free meats
  • local eggs & meat
  • wholesome bread & rolls
  • Mom’s homemade fudge, jellies & jams
  • maple products
  • local ice cream & cheese
  • homemade pies
  • cooking and garden classes
  • special events
  • BBQ Grille events
  • brunch events
  • and much more
