SIGNIFICANCE OF CSA (COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE)
CSA isn’t for everyone, and thats ok! But the folks who choose to join our CSA hold a special place in Foxtrot’s heart because their upfront investment supports this farm to operate a financially viable businesses, year round.
Joining Foxtrot’s CSA (affectionately called Foxy’s Flower Share) supports the farm when there is little to no harvestable income (January - April) in the below ways:
Payroll - The CSA model allows Foxtrot to pay our farmers year round.
Seeds & Supplies - The CSA Model buoys Foxtrot when we where we are purchasing supplies for the next growing season: seeds, plants, potting soil, drip tape, new tools, cover crops, bouquet wraps, & & & you get the idea.
Infrastructure - The CSA Model supports Foxtrot to make infrastructure improvements when we have the time to do so - winter!
Utilities - The CSA Model allows Foxtrot to pay utilities when they are at their absolutely highest for the year (hello propane bills!).

a few words From our flower Share Members over the years:
“Thank you so much for brightening my life with your beautiful blossoms.”
“Kate, I love Love LOVED your csa and absolutely will so be signing up next year”
“From beginning to end we loved them”
“FOxtrot’s flower csa is the best thing we’ve done since moving to the hudson valley.”
“Everything about the flower csa - the flowers themselves, but also the experience of picking up and getting to hang out - has been so nourishing.”
VALUE
All our bouquets are valued at $40, between retail and wholesale price points. Some weeks may be valued at more than $40, some weeks less - but we will make sure you get the full value of your 5, 10 or 20-week share.
SPRAYING & POST HARVEST CHEMICALS
We are a no spray farm and we do not treat our flowers with post harvest chemicals or flower foods - many farms do.
Our Flowers are cut at their optimum harvest stage & we re-hydrate them for 24 hours prior to distribution. Every flower varietal naturally has a unique vase life - some shorter, some longer.
If you would like to use flower food to prolong the natural vase life of your flowers we provide a DIY solution on our BOUQUET CARE PAGE or there are many other options available online.
