Q: How much produce is included my CSA box each week?
A: Members will receive approximately $20 worth of vegetables per week.  Each box will include between 6-8 different items.  {For Example: 1-bunch carrots, 1-bag lettuce, 1-bunch spring onions, 1-bag kale, 1-pint cherry tomatoes, 1-lb squash, 1-bunch turnips}

Q: Will I get to choose what's in my CSA box each week?
A: The farm will select what is included in shares each week based on field conditions and product availability. We'll send members an email each week with a list of veggies you can expect to receive in your box as well as recipe ideas.

Q: What types of produce can I expect to find in my box?
A: Produce will vary by season.  You can expect more greens and roots in the spring and fall.  While things like tomatoes and squash will only be available in the summer (at least until we get a hothouse).  We grow a lot of greens in our garden. So if you don't like greens, this is not the CSA for you.  At this time, we are not growing fruit, but we will occasionally include fruit from other local farmers (in season).  If you expect a lot of fruit in your box, this is not the CSA for you.  For a full list of produce we plan to provide this season, click HERE.

Q: Where and when do you deliver?  How much does it cost? 
A: We deliver to most areas of Pitt County & Beaufort County on Thursdays between 1-4pm.  Please view the map of our delivery area to make sure your location is included before registering for home/office delivery.. The delivery fee is $5/week and is included in the cost of membership..

Q: Do I need to be at home (or in the office) when my order is delivered?
A: You do not have to be home when we deliver your order.  We ask that ALL members receiving HOME delivery leave a cooler (with icepacks) for us to pack your order.  If you do not leave a cooler for us to pack your order, Locavore Market can not be held responsible for the condition of your order.  If you are having your order delivered to your office, please make sure you or someone else (receptionist, co-worker, etc) is available to accept your delivery.

Q: What happens when I go out of town or on vacation?
A: Please let us know at least one week in advance when you plan to be out of town on delivery day.  We are happy to deliver your share to a friend or family member in your absence. We cannot postpone and then double-up subsequent deliveries.  Due to limited product availability on our little farm, we require a reliable and somewhat predictable harvest from week to week.

Q:  I would prefer to receive a CSA box every other week.  Is it possible to get delivery every other week?
A:  Yes, members who sign up for a Half-share will receive delivery every other week.

Q: Do I have to pay the total membership fee at once?
A: If you are unable to pay the entire cost of membership at once, you may pay half down and the remaining balance no later than April 5th.  Email us to set up an installment plan.

Q: Do I have to make an online payment?  Can I pay by check instead?
A: The preferred method of payment for CSA membership is online using your Debit/Credit Card or PayPal account.
