Tagge's Famous Fruit and Veggie farm Utah CSA program 2012
"We are thrilled to provide our customers with the freshest fruits and vegetables, delivered weekly – all grown on our farms."
This is our 3rd year of growing and distributing to our Community Sponsored Agriculture (CSA) customers.
Last year's harvest was incredible. Please look at our existing customers comments on how they viewed the success of last year's program on our Testimonials Page
We took pictures of the distribution days and have them available for your interest in our CSA Gallery, well most of them to give you an idea of what to expect but we still will want to also give you the surprise items. Notice how the box grows in volume over the harvest period. We calculated 2 distribution days as high as a $40.00 value. We want to earn your loyalty one season at a time.

What Is A CSA?
CSA programs help local farmers by deferring their common early season farming costs. Over the years it’s been proven when both the farmer and the consumer anticipate each season’s harvest together, the overall success of the harvest is greatly increased. The result is more bountiful harvest at a lower cost to the consumer.
Here’s How It Works
As a CSA Share Holder you will receive a specially packed box of fresh fruits and vegetable each week, for 15 weeks. We will start the week of July 4th and continue until the week of October 10th, 2012.
Boxes in July and early August will not have as many varieties of fruits and vegetables due to the Utah growing season, but in August and especially September your membership box will overflow with different varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables grown on our farm.

CSA Share Pricing
Each HALF share feeds 2 adults and is $300. The volume of the box will grow as the harvest accelerates. You will receive a half bushel size box each week in volume or weight and beyond that in the later months. Please see our pictures of sample distributions. We are very generous and you will see the value as you look at the season as a whole. For a greater harvest, order a FULL share for $575 which will feed a family of 4 to 6. Natural grown Shares This option feeds 2 and is focused on all of the products that we do not spray with insecticide. It does limit the amount of fruit you get because we need to lightly spray our fruit. |
Early Frost Special If you sign up before April 15, 2012, you will receive a discount on your share membership. For a half share you will pay $275.00 and for a full share only $535.00. Prior Year CSA Customers and Former Food COOP members We had a great first year of CSA Distribution. We go great feedback and really enjoyed getting to meet all of you. All those that signed up last year will receive special pricing because you showed great trust in what we are trying to do. |
Please consider using the PDF form to save us on fees. Cari prefers it this way and we will give you a free peach salsa on the first distribution day. Additional CSA items
