A traditional CSA model usually has a member purchase a full share of the harvest for the season - they have to pay up front and then get a set box of produce each week throughout the season. Some CSA programs provide more options for their members - sometimes providing a core list of produce and then some options on top of that, some allowing members to choose all of their items each week, some even partner with other producers being able to provide meat, dairy and baked good options.
One of the CSA's we offered at Sole Food was a Corporate CSA option. A local business is able to help subsidize the cost of a CSA share for their staff. We worked with Vancity to provide CSA shares to 6 of their staff. Vancity helps to pay for the share and we drop off a box to their work place each week. Above is an example of a weekly Corporate CSA share. Included: beets, carrots, cucumbers, dill, eggplant, radishes, strawberries and zucchini - all organically grown!
