What is a CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture

CSA stands for Community-Supported Agriculture. CSAs are a very popular on the west coast, upper Midwest, the northeast and now in parts of Texas. CSA programs have become a great alternative for obtaining high quality food from a trusted local farm.

Being a member of our CSA means that each week you get to pick up a box of delicious, freshly harvested herbs and vegetables that is representative of that week’s farm bounty. This is a win-win arrangement as this program provides the member with

Healthy produce for your body.
An opportunity to participate in our farm and in local, sustainable farming.
Support for our local community and economy.
Enhanced environmental benefits for the Planet.

Wood Duck Farm currently offers a Fruit & Veggie CSA. The Pork and Poultry CSA is currently not being offered.

Customers living or working in The Woodlands in zip codes 77380, 77381, 77382, and 77384 are encouraged to read about our new home delivery service here.

What will CSA members receive?

Subscribe in advance to ten weeks of fresh, delicious fruits and vegetables from Wood Duck Farm, nestled in the Sam Houston National Forest north of Houston. Three choices are currently offered: a weekly Full Share, a weekly Partial Share, and a Full Share every other week (Alternate Week Full Share). An example Full Share is shown in the image at the right; Partial Shares typically include the same items, but about a third less.

Our farm grows several produce varieties and will strive to give members the best quality produce possible. CSA members will receive at least 5 to 8 different types of vegetables, fruits, and herbs each week during the CSA growing seasons. The amount and selection of produce in each share is largely dependent on what our soil yields, and will vary from week to week. Your diet will reflect the season and the land.

Given the prospect of adverse weather and crop failures, we may from time to time supplement member shares with local produce sustainably grown within 180 miles of our farm. Examples include Ruby Red grapefruit, East Texas blueberries, and satsuma oranges.

For our Winter CSA we are planting varieties such as:
arugula	cauliflower	mustard greens	sweet turnips
brussels sprouts	onions	salad mix	butternut squash
beets	cilantro	radishes	strawberries
radicchio	purple kohlrabi	spinach	collards
broccoli	curly kale	onions	bok choy (pac choi)
carrots	micro greens	potatoes

Our Winter CSA will run for ten weeks. Once the harvest begins, members will pick up their produce at various distribution points located in and around Houston. (Please view the Pick-Up Locations page for delivery times and days near you.) Shares not retrieved during pick-up hours will be donated.

Concerned about forgetting? Not to worry; we’ll remind you via email. In fact, when joining Wood Duck Farm’s CSA program you agree to read our email communications as soon as you see them—we don’t want you to miss receiving your share!

How are shares picked up?

Pick-up locations are at businesses and private residences throughout the Houston area. To retrieve your share, first find your name on the pick-up list and write your initial along side it. (If you do not find your name, we have not packed a share for you; please contact us so we can address the problem.) Note the type of share you have ordered, then select a box labelled with a “P” (for Partial Share) or “F” (for Full Share). Place your share in the bag, box, cooler, or crate you brought, then break down the box and stack it adjacent to the boxed shares. The boxes will be used for delivery again. If you take a box home, please return it to your pick-up point the next week.

Out of courtesy to our wonderful hosts, please keep to the designated pickup times. Shares not retrieved during pickup hours will be donated.

What is the cost?

Winter CSA prices are $330 for a Full Share ($33/week) and $240 ($24/week) for a partial share delivered weekly over the ten-week program.

Our Alternate Week Full Share allows customers to skip every other week, providing shares over six alternating weeks for $180 ($36 every other week). Pickup weeks are the weeks of Jan. 30, Feb. 13, Feb. 27, Mar. 12, and Mar. 26.

If there are shares remaining, prices will be prorated for those joining the CSA once the ten-week season has begun. Orders received after Monday will be delivered the following week. Please give us a call if you have questions about your order.
