What will CSA members receive?
Subscribe in advance to 12 weeks of fresh, delicious fruits and vegetables from Wood Duck Farm, nestled in the Sam Houston National Forest north of Houston. Three choices are currently offered: a Weekly Full Share, a Weekly Partial Share, and a Little Bitty Share. Full Shares from our summer season are shown in the images below. Partial Shares typically include the same items, but about a third less. The Little Bitty Share is designed for a single-member household. Our farm grows several produce varieties and will strive to give members the best quality produce possible. Most CSA members will receive at least 5 to 8 different types of vegetables, fruits, and herbs each week during the CSA growing seasons. However, Little Bitty members will receive 3 to 5 different types of produce. The amount and selection of products in each share is largely dependent on what our soil yields, and will vary from week to week. Your diet will reflect the season and the land. Given the prospect of adverse weather and crop failures, we may from time-to-time supplement member shares with local produce sustainably grown within 180 miles of our farm. Examples include Ruby Red grapefruit, East Texas blueberries, and satsuma oranges.

How are shares picked up?
Pick-up locations are at businesses and private residences throughout the Houston area. To retrieve your share, first, find your name on the pick-up list and write your initial alongside it. (If you do not find your name, we have not packed a share for you; please contact us so we can address the problem.) Note the type of share you have ordered, then select a box labeled with a “P” (for Partial Share),” L” for Little Bitty, or “F” (for Full Share). Place your share in the bag, box, cooler, or crate you brought, then break down the box and stack it adjacent to the boxed shares. The boxes will be used for delivery again. If you take a box home, please return it to your pick-up point next week. Out of courtesy to our wonderful hosts, please keep to the designated pickup times. Shares not retrieved during pickup hours will be donated.
What is the cost?
FALL CSA Weekly Share prices are $37/week for a Full Share, $27/week for a Partial Share, and $21/week for a Little Bitty share delivered weekly over the 10-week program. If there are membership shares still available during the season, they will be pro-rated for those joining the CSA after the 12 week season has begun.
