CSA Members have two options to connect with our farm, through purchasing a Farm Share or a Farm Membership. Both options provide our Members access to the freshest vegetables and fruits that we and other local farms (in our county and surrounding counties) can produce during the growing season. We partner with at least 10 local growers from: Alexander, Caldwell, Catawba, Davie and Wilkes counties, for our CSA Program and to supply seasonal produce in our country store. That way, our business truly helps the local food shed and economy. Did you know that shopping local puts $0.70 of each dollar back into the local economy, vs. $0.40 of each dollar, when you shop at a chain store?
Our Commitment to Each Other
When you choose to join our CSA Program, you are committing to being our customer for the growing season. That doesn’t mean that you can’t shop for greens from another local farm that grows great greens year round. It just means that you will show up, talk us up, and promise to try to cook meals from fresh produce.
By joining, you provide The Farmers’ Daughter and at least 10 other local farms with a market for their crops, before they are harvested. Likewise, when you join our CSA Program, we dedicate ourselves to being you farmers. We do all the hard work for you! All you have to do is visit the farm or our Hickory pickup location weekly to pick up your bounty.
Option 1 - Farm Share:
Farm Share Members will receive a weekly “Farmer’s Choice” Produce Box of seasonal, fresh picked vegetables and locally grown fruit. Each week, we pack our produce boxes with several different types of vegetables (5-8) and we try to put one type of locally grown fruit in as well. The shares will vary, depending on the season. We offer two sizes of shares to fit your household needs. Check out 0ur, “What’s In a Share” page to learn more.
2025 Farm Share Add-on Share Option:
The only Add-on option that we will have in 2025 is our Strawberry Share. We will still have milk, eggs, beef & pork available in our store for your shopping convenience. You must purchase a Farm Share in order to purchase Strawberry Share.
Option 2 - Farm Membership:
Farm Memberships are a store “tab” for shopping throughout the season at our country store or satellite locations. We offer three different levels of Memberships. They can either be used alone or added to your Farm Share to compliment your share as needed.
Farm Membership holders get a discount (5-10%) on their store purchases, based on their level of commitment. These discounts are not applied to consigned items in the store, such as, beef, pork, chicken, soaps & lotions, etc. Farm Membership participants will receive a Farm Membership Card to use throughout the season. It can also be reloaded, if you run out of credit and want to add more. You will use it more than you think. Especially after you discover our deli sammiches and hand dipped ice cream; both of which can be purchased with your Farm Membership card.
