ROLLING PRAIRIE FARMERS ALLIANCE
SEASONAL PRODUCE CSA SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE
Rolling Prairie is the oldest Midwest vegetable cooperative. The original group of farmers joined together in
1994, providing a vegetable subscription service to Lawrence and Kansas City. Subscribers receive a weekly
bag of produce grown by a cooperative of local farmers during the six-month growing season. While not all of
our farms are currently certified organic, we still follow the same natural, ecologically sustainable, organic
practices for growing food we have used since we started twenty-two years ago.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Every week during the growing season (May through October) we deliver a bag of freshly harvested produce
to your work site. There are some choices of seasonal items (say, between carrots and beets, or between
summer squash and cucumbers) and other items that every member will receive. All the produce is washed
and bunched. We thank you in advance for bringing your own reusable bag or box to carry your produce in
each week.
Subscribers pay an $81 deposit to secure their share for the season. The deposit covers some of our
administrative expenses, and the rest is credited to you and will pay for the last three bags of the season.
Monthly payments will depend on the number of weeks in a month. For instance, a four week month will be
$19 x 4 = $76 and a five week month will be $19 x 5 = $95. You may also pay for the entire season in advance:
23/26 Vegetable Bags + deposit (last 3 bags and administrative fee) = $514 Full Season.
NEW THIS YEAR!
We listened to your suggestions from last year, and made some changes
to make your CSA work better for you!

Bags will be family-sized. This means staple items for meals will serve 4 members of a
family. This includes items like potatoes, corn, green beans, peppers, etc. Ingredients like
herbs, onions, and garlic will remain the same size.

Instead of paying monthly in advance, members will pay at the beginning of the new month
for the bags they received in the previous month. For example, when you pay your deposit
and start the CSA the first week of May, you won’t pay for your May bags until the first week
in June.

There is an option to pay your deposit and your full season or monthly bill online. Online
registration is also on the website.

What about vacations? Can I share a subscription?
Members can cancel a bag twice per season without paying for those bags, provided they give 3 days
advance notice for their vacation days. If you must miss more than that, we suggest you have a friend or
family member pick up your bag. If you forget to come and pick up your produce, we will try to donate
your share to a local charity. We must still charge you for the produce we bring for you.
Yes, you can share a subscription. You will have to coordinate distribution and payment with your
partner. Payment will be due in full on the first pickup of each month.
What if I can’t make it during normal pick-up hours?
The pick-up ends at 3:30. If you can’t make it by 3:30, your bag will be left at the security desk in
Building B. We recommend if you join and you regularly won’t be able to pick up your bag that you have
a co-worker pick up your bag for you on the days you won’t be there.
What if I want to make a special order?
Email your site coordinator at least 3 days in advance. The price of your special order will be added to
your regular monthly bill.

Terms: I understand that I am responsible for picking up my bag each week. I understand the price of

administrative fee. Check box to agree.
