Become a Farm Member!
Our small, organic farm is made possible by member support like yours. Your annual contribution supports our seasonal start-up costs, our commitment to providing a living wage to our staff, and our vision of being a long-term community asset.
We like to emphasize the COMMUNITY in our unique twist on Community Supported Agriculture. We hope you will join us for a variety of gatherings and events that help us connect to the land, our food, and each other. You can also help us grow our member community by giving the gift of a membership.
How does membership work?
Sign up for a farm membership online. The cost is $60 for the year; $55 is the earlybird price if you sign up by Dec. 31. The last day to sign up for a 2025 membership is March 31.
Shop in the farm store (April - October/November) and when checking out, give your name and receive 10% off your total purchase. When making an online purchase (e.g. for a workshop), you will have a member promo code to use for the discount to be applied.
Repeat as often as desired.
Throughout the season, enjoy the many member benefits outlined below.
Giving as a gift? Digital gift certificates available here.
Member benefits:
Discount: 10% discount can be applied to all purchases made in person on the farm (farm store, seedling sale, and soft serve window). Members can also enter an online promo code for a discount of 10% (sometimes more) for registrations to farm events e.g. workshops and classes.
Earlybird seedling sale: Members are welcome to shop the first round of seedlings the day before the sale opens to the public: cool-weather plants in late April and warm-weather plants in May. Beat the crowds and grab your baby plants!
Members-only events: You’re invited to our It’s-Almost-Spring Potluck (March), Spring Meet & Greet (May), Ice Cream Social (July), and Harvest Potluck (Sept.). We also love the idea of members helping organize other events on the farm!
Bulk discounts: When we find ourselves with an abundance of a crop (dependent on many factors), we offer it to you in larger quantities at a discount.
Member communication: You receive regular emails about what’s available and what’s happening at the farm - a direct line of communication between us, the farmers, and you!
Annual Membership survey: In the late fall, we ask for your thoughts, preferences, and feedback to help us continually improve our offerings!
Help us grow our community by gifting a membership!
Memberships make great birthday presents, teacher gifts, and housewarming offerings.

Who else can share my membership? When you sign up for a membership, we consider everyone who resides in your home to be a member, and they are invited to use your discount and participate in member events. Please list their names when signing up.
What counts as an on-farm purchase? Everything sold in the farm store and at our soft-serve window is eligible for the 10% member discount. Examples: seedlings, soil, fresh produce, snack foods, dry beans, sauerkraut, frozen veggie burgers, bouquets, snacks, pick-your-own flowers, soft serve ice cream.

In 2019, we asked our 100 members why they were members of Frinklepod. Here’s what they said…
“Love having the great benefit of knowing exactly where our food is coming from......delicious fresh veggies, great variety.”
“We also love trying veggies that we wouldn’t normally buy! We love Frinklepod!”
“I love my family having a hands-on understanding of where their food comes from.”
