Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some commonly asked questions about Prescott College's Community Supported Agriculture. The hows, the where, when and why. Please feel free to contact us if cannot find what you like to know more about.
Q: How much produce can I expect in a week?
A:
The produce quantity and variety changes with the seasons, but there is an average of 5-7 items per week and enough to feed 1-4 people.
Q: I am interested in the beef option. How does it work?
A:
The beef option averages 15-20 lbs. of free-range meet from a conscientious rancher near Wickenburg, AZ. It comes all at once, precut, labeled and frozen, a few times each year.
Q: I am ready to become a shareholder, what do I do now?
A:
Please contact pccsa@presott.edu to be put on the wait list and to be notified to sign up.
Q: What are the dates for the share seasons?
A:
The fall share is September through December; spring is January through April; summer is May through August. You must sign up before the first week of the share season
Q: What happens to my food if I forget to pick it up on Wednesday?
A:
Please call on or before Wednesday and your share will be bagged for you with your name, and you can pick it up the next day at the café. This is the best way to ensure your food will be saved for you. If we don’t hear from you, your share will be donated to a community service group or the college café.
Q: What if I can’t pay the entire amount up front?
A:
That is not a problem, we have different payment options available. It is our goal to provide for everyone’s budget.
Q: What if I will be gone some weeks during the season?
A:
You can decide what happens to your share. Many people have friends pick it up and enjoy the bounty while you are out of town, or you could donate it. We will see that it goes to a community service group that provides meals to those in need.
Q: When do I pick up my food, where and what are the hours?
A:
The CSA pick-up is every Wednesday from 12:30–6 p.m. The distribution room is in the Prescott College Crossroads Café off the alley at 220 Grove Ave.
