Workplace CSA

Fresh Food Your Way

HDFFA paired local farmers with busy office employees to provide fresh local food at the convenience of their workplace. Employees sign-up for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share through their employer and during the summer they receive fresh vegetables delivered each week.

How it Worked

HDFFA plays the matchmaker.

We connected businesses directly with one vegetable producer and one meat producer
Provide on-site CSA Organizer all of the tools they need to set-up the program
Provide a pre/post program meeting to introduce your business to the farm and program

Your Business identifies a CSA Organizer.

Identify an outgoing, engaged employee to be the on-site CSA Organizer (they will handle the logistics for all employees signed up)
Approve weekly drop-off site at your company
Give on-site CSA Organizer the support they need during CSA season

The farmer will:

Coordinate and communicate with the on-site CSA Organizer
Deliver the CSAs on the same day/time each week
Deliver pre-washed, pre-bagged produce for easy pick-up from employees

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way for farmers to get “buy-in” from consumers before the growing season starts. As a customer, you pay a lump sum in the spring and when the growing season starts you’ll receive a box of fresh food each week for the duration of the season (typically 18-20 weeks).

The farmer benefits from the upfront capitol which allows them to crop plan for their growing season.
You benefit from getting the fresh produce delivered weekly, supporting local food from the convenience of your office.
