Weekly Farm Box

New Roots SLC offers a weekly farm box, providing market exposure and supplemental income for refugee farmers through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). CSA’s are a business model that allows consumers and producers to share the risks and rewards associated with food production. CSA members make a monetary commitment to the farmer at the beginning of the season and receive local, organically grown produce throughout the growing months in return.

CSA Membership Models

Pre-Packed Option:

In seasons past, New Roots has aggregated produce from multiple farmers to provide pre-packed vegetable bags for CSA members. We are adjusting our farm incubator model to better support farmer independence. In pursuit of that goal, each farmer will have their own CSA with technical assistance from New Roots staff. Want to learn more? See the table below for more options.

If you decide an individual farmer CSA membership works best for you, we ask that customers supporting this exciting new program enter the season with patience and flexibility top of mind. This is the first time some of these businesses are operating under this model.

Free Choice Option:

Free Choice CSA members still pay ahead of time for a set number of weeks of produce, but they will get to choose what goes into their vegetable bags that week at the time of pick-up. This is a great option for folks who want more control over the types and quantities of different vegetables they receive.

Upon arrival at their pick-up location, free choice CSA members will receive tokens from New Roots staff equal in value to their prepaid share. Members then use these tokens to shop for produce from multiple New Roots vendors on-site, including our youth farmers. Please note that free choice CSA membership is only available at our Redwood Farm pick-up location.

The pick-up day and time for the Redwood CSA options is on Wednesdays 4:00-7:00 pm. Just make sure you choose the “Free Choice” model when checking out.

All CSA memberships are available for purchase on our CSA Online Store.

Please note that our individual farmer CSA options are part of our farmer training program. 2024 was the first year we offered this as a business development option for participating farmers, so we expect lessons to be learned and mistakes to be made along the way! If you decide an individual farmer CSA membership works best for you, we ask that customers supporting this exciting new program enter the season with patience and flexibility top of mind. This is the first time some of these businesses are operating under this model.

We are working with the individual farm businesses to create membership agreements that outline cancellation, refund and missed pick-up policies. Customers who purchase memberships with any of these farmers will be contacted later in the spring with more information and will be able to cancel their membership at that time if needed.

Testimonials

Blog: Testimonials

The New Roots CSA was an incredible experience! We learned about some new vegetables we had never had before and cooked some delicious new recipes! Every share was packed carefully; we could sense the love and care that had been put into the growing and picking of all the produce. We so appreciated the freshness and ease of collecting our goods. I would highly recommend to everyone!

— Sarah G.

Participating in the New Roots CSA was an amazing experience for my family. The quality and quantity of produce exceeded our expectations and we also enjoyed working with varieties of things like African eggplant and Amaranth greens that were new to us. The CSA always provided helpful tips and recipes in a weekly newsletter.

— Eric S.

Could not ask for higher quality food, I was simply blown away by the amount of flavor everything had! The staff seem friendly and responsive, and when the season really gets going the variety of foods is exceptional. If you have the dollars to spend, this is definitely worth the buy.

— Ali B.
