Will I have to buy vegetables I don't want?
THREE GOAT FARM-CSA believes in choices and just like our share pickups , with THREE GOAT FARM-CSA MARKET you get to order what you want, in the quantities that you want, from the farms that you want. The monthly email lists the produce, milled products, fresh flowers, and artisan goods available that week, and you can browse the items on this website before you place your order.
How do I order?
On the sunday evening before that month’s market, a list of available products is sent to all our registered customers via email. Customers must place orders for the month no later than that wednedsday evening at 8pm. Orders can be placed here on our website. Ordering through the website helps you plan meals and order what you want instead of hoping the item is on the market that month. It also helps the grower know what to bring that month.
Please realize that there may be sometimes when an item runs out because of heavy order volume.
Also when ordering item sold by the pound. Your total price may vary at delivery due to total weight of the item
When do I pay?
We accept cash or checks when you pick up your order. Because we may have to adjust your total then (to account for unnanounced items you decide to purchase or items that were unexpectedly unavailable), we do not accept advance payment on the website.
You will be picking up and paying Three Goat Farm-CSA for your order. We inturn will pay the individual farmers.
When and Where do I pick up my order?
This market will run on a monthly basis. It is in addition to and a supplement to you CSA share. You are under no obligation to do so. You will pick up your order at your share pick up on the week following your order placement at the farm on South Street in Westmoreland, NY
Why Support Locally Grown?
Enhance your local economy: By purchasing produce and other items from local growers you are providing stability to your local economy through the support of local businesses.
Save natural resources: Buying locally makes you an invaluable link in the process of saving resources such as fossil fuels and packaging materials. Also, we are right here in your community so the expense of transportation and delivery is kept to a minimum.
Provide learning opportunities: Locally Grown supporters provide member growers the means to help educate our community about the importance of sustainable agriculture.
Supporting a way of life: The number of small farms in the United States has decreased dramatically in the last decade. Please help us preserve an honest and worthy means of making a living.
We believe that small, diverse, family-owned farms contribute to society’s overall health.
