Thank you for your interest in becoming a farm member. The 2024 Deadline has passed but memberships for the 2025 season will be available in December!
Announcing a new Farm Membership Model at Frinklepod!
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.
This season we are emphasizing the COMMUNITY in Community Supported Agriculture. We hope you will join us for a variety of scheduled and pop-up events, in-person and virtual, 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, or sponsoring one for a local family.
How does membership work?
Sign up for a farm membership online. Deadline for 2024 membership is 4/1.
Shop in the farm store (April - October) & seedling sale, and at the soft serve window . When checking out, give your name and receive 10% off your total purchase.
Repeat as often as desired.
Throughout the season, enjoy many member benefits outlined below.
Details on 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). Select on-farm events also have a discounted member rate.
Card on file: You may choose to have your credit or debit card info stored securely in our point-of-sale system so you won’t have to present a physical form of payment each visit. A receipt is sent to you each time. This can be set up on your first visit to the store, if you’d like.
Earlybird seedling sale: Members are welcome to shop the first round of seedlings the day before the sale opens to the public, in late April. Beat the crowds and get your first pick of all the cool-weather starts!
Members-only events: You’re invited to our Spring Meet & Greet (May), Ice Cream Social (July), Harvest Potluck (Oct.), and Monthly “Chat with the Farmers” Evening Virtual Zoom Sessions (April - Oct.)!
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 resources: We’ll keep our members-only page and email list updated with farm news, recipe ideas, and more. What do you want to know more about? We take requests and suggestions!
Annual Membership survey: We want to hear your thoughts, preferences, and feedback to help us create and improve our offerings!
Help us grow our community by gifting a membership!
Memberships make great birthday presents, teacher gifts, and housewarming offerings.
Frequently Asked Questions:
When is the farm store open? Opening around April 28, and closing around October 14, give or take a week.
What are the farm store hours? Last year we were open Tuesday - Saturday, 9-4, and we will have the same or similar hours in 2024.
Who else can share my membership? When you sign up for a membership, we consider everyone in your household - generally you, your spouse/partner, housemates and/or any dependent children - 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.
No member discount is applied to farm camp or ticketed events like cooking classes and farm dinners (although other special discounts may be offered).
Can I use my member discount to purchase gift cards? Yes, after the farm store opens in the spring. If a member uses a gift card, however that purchase will not be eligible for an additional 10% discount.
I’ve been a member in the past and still have funds remaining on my card - can I still use them? Yes, and we will retain our list of our 2023 members’ card numbers. (However, when renewing as a 2024 member, a 10% discount will not be applied to purchases made with that remaining balance.) All past members can check their balance here.
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.”
C.S.A. "Community Supported Agriculture" is a partnership between farms and consumers that keeps independent businesses thriving, helps families eat seasonal, local produce, and charges farmers and consumers with the responsibility of building a strong, equitable food system.
