Meadow Maid Foods Wyoming Farmers Market Natural Vegetables

What is a CSA share of vegetables?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. You purchase a season’s share of vegetables in advance. In return, I raise vegetables and reserve them for you to pick up once each week, from mid-June through mid-October.

With CSA, there is no need to be the first one at market to get the best choice of vegetables. You may come to market at your leisure; your vegetables will be waiting for you.

Veggie Bucks: The Meadow Maid^® Foods CSA share differs from some CSA shares in an important way. Each share includes $25.00 in “Veggie Bucks” that you may use to obtain extra produce from Meadow Maid^® Foods farmers’ market stand. Each share customer receives the same amount of all produce in their basic share. But Veggie Bucks allow you some flexibility.

If you want extra tomatoes to freeze, pickling cucumbers, some grassfed beef (beef is not included in normal share), or other extras, you may obtain these using your Veggie Bucks. I will track your Veggie Buck balance at market. Of course, when your Veggie Bucks are all used, you may also purchase extras with cash at the Meadow Maid^® Foods stand.

Share customers also receive recipes and other tips for utilizing the bounty of harvest.

Share customers always have first choice on all Meadow Maid^® Foods produce. I will maintain a list of “what’s coming”, and you may reserve your extras for the following week when you pick up your share.

Finally, share customers are invited to visit the farm by appointment, to observe, learn, or help!

Where/How will delivery be made?

Cheyenne, WY: All vegetables will be delivered at the Wyoming Fresh Farmers’ Market, on Tuesday afternoons. The planned delivery period is mid-June through mid-October. No delivery will be made if market is cancelled due to weather. If we are unable to deliver to market, we try to give you advance notice, and we make up the missed vegetables in another week.

What happens if I can not take delivery one week?

Please let us know in advance!! Some vegetables can not stand in the field an extra week, and will be lost to you, but many can wait until you return! If I know in advance that you are gone, I will save as much of your share for the following week as possible. If you do not tell me in advance, you may forfeit all of that week’s share - once the vegetables are picked and waiting for you, most will not wait until the following week, and become chicken food.

If a life change or other difficulty requires withdrawal from the CSA program, a prorated refund may be issued at sole discretion of Meadow Maid^® Foods, LLC.

What happens if I try the CSA, and don’t like it?

We and you may try to find someone to assume your share. If we can do that, then we will discuss issuing you a prorated refund.

Meadow Maid^® Foods, LLC limits its liability to the full purchase price. In no case shall Meadow Maid Foods, LLC be liable for more than the purchase price of the CSA share.
