Buyers Club Super CSA
An “ala carte” buyers club for the products listed above with EXCLUSIVE benefits. Eating healthy with convenience!
What is a CSA?
CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) acknowledges the connection between the farmer and those who buy the food from the farm. The consumer buys a share of the farms output upfront and becomes a partner in the farms production, crop risk and harvest. Here at Harmony, I do numerous things to mitigate the risk factor to the point it’s essentially a “non-issue”.
How does it work?
The common model basically involves the customer paying a one-time fee for a season’s worth of pre-packed farm produce. That payment is upfront to assist the farmer in planting and other production decisions, as well as helping with a lopsided cash flow at planting time.
What is a “Buyers Club Super CSA”?
There can be problems, I have experienced in years past, in offering a regular CSA: getting things in your package you don’t want, too much of this, not enough of that, missing packages because you are away that particular week, only produce available (fruit and vegetables, no meat, honey, etc.), limited seasonality, and so forth. Several years ago, after listening to these concerns and watching national trends, I invented what I have called “Buyers Club CSA”. Now, I have expanded it to a “Super CSA”- meaning I am endeavoring to offer you the convenience of “one stop shopping” for your local/fresh food needs. Not only “convenience”, but “flexibility” as well. Some of the ways you will experience these features include:
- Ordering only the produce you want, “ala carte”, from a weekly product menu.
- Year-round ordering (48 weeks per year) of seasonally adjusted weekly menus.
- A broad spectrum product menu, featuring items not only including fruits and vegetables, but also whole and cut chicken (and other chicken products) in vacuum seal packs, beef (choices here too!), eggs, honey, beeswax, berries (including Aronia) and more.
- Multiple drop-off/delivery options weekly, most weeks throughout the year.
- Choosing the timing and processing options for your larger meat purchase options. (Packages, quarters, halves, etc.)
- Using your pre-paid purchase credit for deliveries you select (regularly or occasionally- Rapid City, Chadron, Metro Denver, ???) Otherwise, orders can be picked up at drop-off points without delivery fee.
- Exclusive discounts (from farmers market pricing) on select items (vegetables, produce, eggs, meats).
Here’s an example of what one household’s 12 month “Buyers Club Super CSA” might look like:
| A “Buyers Club” membership fee, credited when 12 month purchases exceed $1000.00 | $150 |
| 40 dozen eggs (over 12 months in this example) | $360 |
| 18 weeks (or more, or less) of produce purchases for, let’s say, $15/ week | $270 |
| 12 pastured poultry chickens, Avg $24.00 each | $288 |
| 2 Qts certified, non-GMO honey | $60 |
| 50lbs grass-fed, hormone-free beef | $750 |
| 2 gallons REAL Apple cider | $20 |
| 5 lbs Aronia berries | $48 |
| TOTAL | $1946 |
Now, a few notes… Those numbers represent the hypothetical purchases choices of one small household, and you might agree that the “total” represents only a fraction of most household’s annual grocery budget. Also, because this fictitious grocery list total price is over the initial pre-paid purchase credit of $850, the customer would make additional payment for the balance of purchases. Additionally, once a Club member exceeds $1000 in 12 months (or less) purchases, the membership fee is credited to their account for additional purchases of product. Prices may fluctuate with market trends.
Product availability will vary throughout the year, but my goal is to make many products available year-round, and others available longer than normal for our region. I am striving to make this offer the most convenient option you have for local food. Further, I am looking to add additional items to the menu, as they become available.
