Michigan Farm to Family CSA Share
Program Description:
Our Weekly Farm Box is made possible by the Michigan Farm to Family: CSA program. Program participants using Michigan Bridge Cards (SNAP/EBT) pay 25% of the retail cost for the Weekly Farm Box, and the program pays the 75% balance. It’s a great way to save money and get healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables, recipes, and more for your family while supporting local farmers. Michigan Farm to Family: CSA is a Michigan Fitness Foundation program funded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the State of Michigan.
Half Share (suggest for 1-2 people)
You pay $5.78 a week on your SNAP card and the Farm to Fitness program covers the other 75% (Half share costs $375 total with you paying 25% of that ($92.48) on your SNAP card over 16 weeks).
You can expect to receive 5-7 items each week
Full Share - SOLD OUT
WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR SHARE
Share size recommendations are based on average produce consumption. Our shares are not meant to satisfy a full vegan/vegetarian diet for the recommended number of people. This list gives you a sense of what types of produce you’ll receive. Each week’s box of fresh produce is based on what is currently in season and how successful each crop has been. Because of this, you will not see every item every week.
The first 6-8 weeks is very greens heavy! You pay weekly at each pick up, which is every Tuesday from 3-6 at our farm stand located at 26262 Tikkanen Road. Calumet.

HOW IT WORKS
From mid June through mid October (16 weeks), a weekly produce share is provided to you every Wednesday. The produce in the share depends on what is in season that week.
Shares can be picked up at a members house in Houghton or on our farm in Calumet.
CSA SIGN UP
We open up membership to our previous members first. After two weeks, if we still have shares available, we extend membership to new members. Please wait to complete the signup form until you have received an email letting you know shares are available.
Our final membership count is based on those who have paid. Signing up will hold your spot, but payment will secure your membership. We accept cash or checks made out to North Harvest CSA. You can also now pay your invoice with credit card or ACH payment. If we do not receive your payment by March 1st 2024, we will have to release your spot to the next person in line.
Please review our CSA membership agreement before signing up.
