CSA Shares

Ela 2012 CSA Fruit Share Pricing and Locations

 

CSA shares are available from Ela Family Farms at our Front Range Farmer’s Market locations shown below. Prices vary based on market closing dates and market limitations. The share provides enough fruit for a family of 2-4 people. Each week members receive the best of our cherries, peaches, pears, plums, apples and heirloom tomatoes plus fresh apple cider in the fall. Often we sell out of prized fruit, but CSA share members get first dibs on our harvest. 

Because harvest dates are dynamic, flexibility is required. We only include fruit we grow on our farm in our shares. If we are short of one fruit, we will substitute the full retail value with another fruit or our delicious processed goods. We guarantee our fruit and that members will receive the full retail value of their share each week.

Fruit Date Predictions - While we feel confident in our late season share, the early season portion is a bit more risky. Therefore, members pay only for the late season portion now. After the threat of late spring frost passes in late May, we will offer our members the early season share if it is available.
