Thanks for your interest in purchasing a 2023 CSA share. Keep in mind that your share is not officially reserved for you until we receive a deposit. This farm is a partnership between Weavers Way Co-op, Food Moxie, Saul High School of Agriculture and Philadelphia Parks and Recreation.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It's a method of food distribution that directly links farmers and local community members, letting both share in the natural risks and rewards of farming. We use organic practices on our farms, however we are not certified organic.

But we are more than just a CSA -- we grow food for the community while also providing educational opportunities for Saul High School students. Located on the campus of the W.B. Saul High School for Agricultural Sciences, the farm is managed by Weavers Way staff in collaboration with Saul students and teachers. Food Moxie is a non profit offshoot of Weavers Way. At Henry Got Crops, FOOD MOXIE supports experiential education in scratch cooking with whole foods, seasonal and healthy eating and small-scale sustainable agriculture production and community food security. This CSA is also unique in that all your vegetables are grown at our two farms (The Mort Brooks Memorial Farm at the Awbury Arboretum and the Henry Got Crops Farm at Saul High School). We do not buy any vegetables from other farms. By buying a share in this farm, you are supporting agricultural education while sharing the risks and benefits of small-scale, local agriculture.

Thanks for your interest in purchasing a 2023 You-Pick Subscription. Keep in mind that your subscription is not officially reserved for you until we receive your payment. You-Pick Subscriptions are $240, for 24 weeks (see below for more information about discounts and staggered payments.

CSA Options

Please complete the following set of choices. They will help us determine your remaining CSA dues total.

Is this your first year as a CSA Shareholderwith us?

Do you want to sign up for the new You-Pick Subscription?

For the second year in a row we are offering access to the you-pick section without a CSA share. If you choose this option you will not pick up pre-harvested vegetables but you will have full access to the you-pick section. The You-Pick Subscription allows access to the you-pick section which is primarily planted in herbs and flowers and one or two vegetables a season.
The cost of this option is $240.00.


The 2023 is our second year offering the option to purchase a You-Pick Subscription! The You-Pick Subscription offers access to the You-Pick designated area at the top of the field (marked with signs) and does not include the whole farm.

Once the CSA has begun (usually late May),You-Pick subscribers can come pick on days the market is open; on Tuesdays and Fridays from 8am - 7pm and Saturdays from 9am - 2pm. Unlike our regular CSA share you don’t have to stick to the same day week to week. but we ask you only pick once a week.These hours are earlier than last year to accommodate people who prefer morning hours. We request that subscribers stick to these listed times to ensure that there are farm staff present.

We rely on the honor system to ensure that everyone picks the amount set in our newsletter or on the blackboard at the farm. CSA shareholders and You- Pick subscribers will have access to mostly the same amount of you-pick produce (although the You Pick subscribers will have access to a few VIP areas).

If you choose this option you will not pick up pre-harvested vegetables but you will have full access to the you-pick section.

What does the You-Pick Subscription offer?It includes some vegetables, specifically peas, beans, hot & mild peppers, tomatillos, okra, ground cherries and cherry tomatoes. The majority of the You-pick is planted in flowers and herbs, we have around 15 beds of flowers and over 15 varieties of herbs.

Pickup Day

This will be your day for the whole season. Pick-ups are only at the farm across the street from Saul High School, we are located at 7095 Henry Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19128.


Share Size

Shares come in two sizes, small and large. A small share generally consists of 5-6 units of vegetables and is recommended for two people. A large share consists of the same vegetables as a small share but is twice as large, consisting of 10-12 units, and is recommended for four people. A unit is similar to what you would typically buy at a grocery store. For instance one unit could be a bunch of carrots or a head of lettuce.
As part of both the large and small share, you will have access to our You-Pick section. This area of the farm is open to harvesting by all CSA shareholders. What is available on any given week will be listed on a chalkboard with amounts given per item, and in the weekly newsletter.

Discounts

5% Working Discount:
Volunteer 4 hours for a small share, and 6 hours for a large share and earn 5% off on the price of your CSA. Buying a CSA share and being a Weavers Way Co-Op member are separate but related. Both memberships offer a working discount, which is a 5% discount in exchange for working. These hours can be one and the same, meaning if you are a working CSA shareholder, and a working Co-op member, you can volunteer at the farm and earn credit toward your discount for both the CSA and at the store. For more information about working on the farm, or becoming a member of the co-op, please email member@weaversway.coop.

Discounts


Working Share Extraordinaire

We offer $100 discount in exchange for 2 hours of work every week of the CSA season (minus two "free weeks" for unexpected conflicts). These types of volunteer shifts usually involve helping maintain the fields or harvesting, although other creative options are also available!

And new this year, we are offering an additional incentive for people who help staff the CSA table. Since this is the most time sensitive shift, we are only requiring a 12 week commitment for a $100 discount, or 24 weeks for $200 (for this CSA table position only).


Donate to Food Moxie (Weavers Way Community Programs)

Founded in 2007, Food Moxie is the nonprofit offshoot of Weavers Way Coop. While the Co-op runs the business of the CSA and manages all farm production, Food Moxie uses the farm for experiential learning and farm-related education programs, getting Saul students out of the classroom and into the dirt. Educational activities include curriculum-based and hands-on learning activities, exploration of the farm, and opportunities to taste and cook nutritious foods. The cost of your share offsets the expenses associated with farm operations but does not offset the costs associated with Food Moxie's educational programming.

To support these ongoing educational programs please consider donating to Food Moxie online or learn more here.

Additionally, you can opt into our High Five! program, in which you donate 5% of your pre-discounted share price to Food Moxie.


Staggered Payments

If you need to stretch out your payments, you can make your payments in five monthly installments. A deposit is still necessary to reserve your share. Complete payment must be fulfilled by Sept. 30, 2023.

If you need to stretch out your payments, you can make your payments in five monthly installments of $40 each with a $40 deposit to reserve your sharesubscription. Complete payment must be fulfilled by Sept. 30, 2023.

Because this has always been a treasured experience for CSA shareholders we offer this at a pay-what-you-can rate. Your contribution will be kept private, and you are welcome to use the You-Pick as much as you want, regardless of what you pay. This is voluntary but highly encouraged. Your contribution helps make this a sustainable part of our farm and allows it to be available for all shareholders.
Thank you to everyone who contributed last year! Your support helped cover the costs of planting and maintaining the You-Pick area.
What is offered in the You-Pick? It changes from week to week but here is an example of some of the offerings:
Season Spring (4 weeks) Summer (10 weeks) Fall (10 weeks)

Not sure how much to donate?
Here are some things to consider:
When we ran the numbers, we found that on average, shareholders can pick $288 worth of veggies, flowers, and herbs throughout the 24 week season, an average of $12 per week. This calculation is based on wholesale prices, accounting for the labor you all spend doing the picking.
How much is the experience of picking fresh flowers for your home worth to you?
Can you afford to help others have a You-Pick experience?
Here is a snapshot of typical retail prices for local, organic items at a farmers market:

  • flower bouquets: between $12-$24
  • A pint of cherry tomatoes: $4
  • A bunch of herbs: $2-$3
  • A sunflowers: $1 per stem

    Payment

    I understand that payment entitles me to a weekly share of fresh, chemical-free produce harvested at the Henry Got Crops farm at Saul High School and the Mort Brooks farm at the Awbury Arboretum (Weavers Way Farms). I understand that I am sharing the risks that come with the growing season (including weather, insects, crop diseases, etc.) with the other shareholders and the farmers. I understand that the size and duration of my share is dependent on these variables. It is my responsibility to pick up my share on the day and time specified. I understand that my payment is non-refundable. I agree that if I do not fulfill my work commitment by the end of the 2023 CSA season, I will forfeit my discount and pay the remaining balance on my share to cover necessary labor costs.
