Join our Buyers Choice CSA!
What is a CSA?
A traditional community supported agriculture (CSA) model is an arrangement between the farmer and customer that provides cash in advance to the farmer during the planting season when there is no cash flow to operate the farm. The farmer uses the proceeds to pay for seasonal expenses such as seed, fertilizer, rent and labor. In return for their support, CSA members are given weekly boxes of produce or other farm products produced by the farm throughout the growing season.
High Point Farms,LLC puts a new twist on the traditional CSA model. We at High Point call it a “Buyers Choice Meat CSA”. Our web-based Meat CSA is completely flexible which allows members to customize their order in terms of what they want, when they want. Members pay for a “share” up front then order from our web store before deliveries. There is NO obligation to order each delivery. And because we partner with other farms, our product mix is diversified. With our main product being frozen local meat and most of our members living in the NYC region with, usually, small freezer space, we offer BI-WEEKLY deliveries.
A CSA model is useful for small sustainable farms like ours. It eliminates our farm’s reliance on bank lending and wholesale sales. It is also more enjoyable for us to deal directly with appreciative customers.
High Point Farms uses your money to buy hay, pay our small family owned USDA butcher for meat processing, pasture rent, utility bills for running our farm freezers, or to buy products from other farms.
Order only what you want!!! Use your credit during the distribution period to purchase local humanely raised meats and other local products (cheese, honey….) from our online farm store.
We will deliver to your scheduled drop location every other week (on Wednesday) Some exceptions around July 4th
