The Lemon Street Market CSA is open now through May 30th (or until we hit our 30 participant limit). There are two options you can sign up for:
- Full Share CSA – 17 weeks of fresh, local food for $500
- Half Share CSA – 8 weeks of fresh, local food for $250 (a box every other week)
At Lemon Street Market, we work with a number of local farms and growers. Every year, they have an abundance of Lancaster and York counties’ finest fruits and vegetables. Our farmers include (but are not limited to): Horn Farm Center, Hellam; Ruth Lapp, New Providence; Alex Wenger, Lititz; Amy Yocom, Millersville; Michael Dietz; 5th Month Farm, Mount Joy; and Dietz Produce, York.
Pick-up will be every Thursday from 10 AM-7 PM starting June 6 for full shares and June 13 for half shares.
How much produce will I receive?
Each week, you will receive 8-10 items. This includes seasonal produce, salad fixings, onions or garlic, culinary herbs, and seasonal fruits or berries.
What if I don’t like an item in my CSA produce share?
We will provide a swap box for CSA members to swap one item for a different item if desired. Swap box instructions will be further explained in your welcome packet, first newsletter, and at pickup.
What if I’m going out of town?
Full Share CSA members are eligible for two “skip weeks” to use during the season in lieu of picking up their box. Let us know in advance and we will prepare a $25 store gift card. Half Share CSA members are eligible for one skip week.
Is the produce organic?
All items in your box will be local, chemical free (“organic methods”), and non-GMO.
When does the season start and how long will it run?
Full Share CSAs run June 6 – September 26 for a total of 17 weeks. Half Share CSAs run every other week June 13 – September 19 for a total of 8 weeks.
Do you provide recipes or other information about the produce you grow?
You will receive recipes in your weekly newsletter, we will share our Pinterest recipe boards, and you are always welcome to chat with our team members for more ideas!
Has my produce been washed before I receive it?
All produce is field washed to remove soil, but you should wash your produce before it is prepared.
How long will my produce stay fresh?
Storage and handling is key to freshness. All produce is best eaten fresh or frozen as soon as possible. Tips will be provided to give you a 7-10 day window to consume your weekly share.
