CSA shares are available weekly over a 21-week period: starting the week of May 18, 2026, and ending the week of October 12, 2026. There is one scheduled break when CSA shares will not be available, occurring June 29, 2026 through July 5, 2026.

Your specific CSA day of the week will depend on the pickup location you select (more information regarding pickup locations below).

There are two types of shares available.

- The half share is meant for 2–3 people and is valued at $30/week, totaling $630 for the season.

- The full share is meant for 3–4 people and is valued at $41/week, totaling $861 for the season.

The total value of each share includes a 10% to 15% discount from retail prices.

All of our CSA shares are packaged as farmer’s choice, meaning that you are not able to customize the share week to week. With that said, we try to balance the share so that the vegetables complement one another and can be paired together as a meal. And, we try not to offer the exact same vegetables two weeks in a row unless they are something we know you’ll want (mostly veggies that are in-season for a short time).

Here's a list of what we are growing this season: arugula, basil, beans (green and wax), beets, bok choy, broccolini, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, chives, cilantro, collard greens, cucumbers, dill, eggplant, fall squash, fennel, garlic, garlic scapes, gourds, head lettuce, kale, leeks, onions, oregano, okra, peppers (sweet and spicy), potatoes (fingerling, sweet, and yukon), radishes, rosemary, sage, salad mix, shallots, snap peas, summer squash, spinach, Swiss chard, tarragon, tomatoes, turnips, watermelon, and zucchini.

Since our farm is located on private property and in North Longmont, we do not offer farm pickups. Instead, we pre-pack CSAs in bags and drop the bags off at the identified locations.

Mid-week pickups in Aurora, Boulder, Denver, Longmont, and Niwot will occur on Thursdays.

Pickups at farmers markets will occur on the weekends during market hours. City Park is on Saturdays from 8AM-1PM and Lafayette is on Sundays from 9AM-1PM.

Once you add a share to your cart in the farm shop, you will be able to see more details about each pickup location before you check out. And, during the season, CSA members will be able to change pick-up locations on GrownBy if the request is submitted at least two days in advance of the new pick-up date.

If you are out of town and need to skip a CSA share, you have four options:

- You can have a friend pick up your share.

- You can select a different pick-up location during the same week.

- You can use a vacation day (up to four times), which means that the farm will not prepare a CSA share for you that week, and you will receive farm credit for that week’s share amount. The farm credit can be used for a purchase at a future date, including at farmers markets. Farm credits do not expire, and they cannot be exchanged for a cash refund.

- You can reschedule your share for another week, meaning the farm will not prepare a CSA share for you on the skipped day, and you will receive two shares on the rescheduled day.

We highly recommend CSA members pick up their weekly shares on the same day of delivery, as overnight cooling is not a guarantee at each location. For non-farmers market locations, any shares still present after two days (including delivery day) will be donated. For farmers market locations, any shares still present at the end of market will be donated.

For the members who have purchased an add-on share, please note that the above options are not available for add-ons. If vacation and/or rescheduled days are not available, and you aren’t able to coordinate with a friend for pickup, that week’s add-on will be donated.

Gift cards are now available to purchase in our online farm shop. Those who purchase the gift cards will see a 10% farm credit added to their account (meaning we add $10 for every $100 spent on a gift card). Gift cards are non-refundable once purchased. However, the value never expires.

Gift cards are recommended for those who wish to select their own veggies. You will be able to use them at any of our farmers market booths. We recommend coming early to markets (within first two hours of market) in order to have the greatest selection of produce to choose from.

Wanting to gift one to a loved one? Purchase a gift card on your account, then send us an email with the recipients’ name and email address. Once this information is received, we will send the recipient an email to create an account and claim the farm credit under their name.

If you are unable to pay the full cost, let's connect via email to discuss a cost-adjusted share plan that works for you, as it is important to us that our produce is available to anyone who wants it, regardless of one's income or access to wealth. We can also connect you with local, no-cost grocery programs.

We are not certified organic; however, we are committed to growing organically per the certification guidelines and more. A few examples of our growing practices:

- We use organic and untreated seeds, from which we grow our own plant starts.

- We engage in soil-conservation practices by using cover crops and mulches, testing our soils regularly, and adding necessary nutrients and minerals.

- We do not use synthetic fertilizers or sprays.

Add-ons may only be selected once you have selected a Switch Gears Farm CSA share in the farm shop. The add-ons are created in partnership with local vendors, and more may be added at a later date once additional partnerships are established.

While we can allow for vacation days or reschedule days with the farm CSA, there is no flexibility for the add-ons since we pay for those products in advance prior to the start of CSA season.

GrownBy is a fair and transparent online platform used for direct sales access between farmers and their customers. GrownBy was created by farmers and is owned by members of the Farm Generations Coop. An account is necessary as the platform will send automated reminders related to purchased items; however, you may choose to use the app or visit your account via the website. The benefit to using the app is that you will receive more immediate notifications.

For support with using the GrownBy platform, visit their Knowledge Base.

Once you click on “Get A Share” on this page, our farm shop on GrownBy will open in a new tab. The farm shop shows a description of the shares and add-ons (more may be added through the spring). Click on each product to learn more and add to the cart. Once you are done placing products in your cart, click on “Checkout” while viewing the cart. If you are not logged in already, you will be asked to create an account or login at this time - we recommend using an email address to create the account so you can receive email notifications. Once logged in, you can continue with checking out using one of the checkout methods listed below:

- Pay in full, with a credit card or bank account, at time of checkout. Select “Pay-In-Full” and enter requested information in the “Payment” section.

- Pay monthly, with a credit card or bank account, at time of checkout. Select “Monthly Payments” and enter requested information in the “Payment” section. This option may not be available for add-ons.

- Pay offline, with cash or check, at a later date. Select “Pay-In-Full” or “Monthly Payments” and then select “Pay Offline” in the “Payment” section. Once completed, you will receive an invoice.

If checking out with a credit card or bank account, you will have the option to cover the transaction fees associated with an online payment - while we appreciate the coverage, it is not required in order to make a purchase. To remove this coverage, uncheck the “Cover Farmer Fees” option in the “Farmer Love” section below the “Payment” section.

We recommend doing one final review, then click “Place Order” at the bottom right when you are ready.

The short answer is…it depends. A CSA member can change the size of their share prior to April 30, 2026, as long as the new size desired is still available for purchase in the farm shop. There is no admin fee to make this change prior to April 30, 2026.

A CSA member can also cancel their CSA share and receive a full refund (minus transaction fees if you paid with a credit card or bank account) if the cancellation is completed prior to April 30, 2026.

Starting May 1, 2026, no refunds will be issued for cancellations unless the share is taken over by another person. We sometimes have folks reaching out to see if shares are still available after they are sold out - if that is the case, we can help coordinate between both individuals.

If there’s any critical changes to your CSA or add-on shares, we will email, text, or send a notification through GrownBy. Otherwise, general farm updates will be available on Bluesky and Instagram.
