The grey winter is over, bring on the color and sunshine! I believe this is the reason our spring CSA share sells out the fastest each year... we are all craving more beauty and color to add to our days and lift our spirits. In this share, you will receive 5 deluxe bouquets of locally grown blooms highlighting our favorite spring flowers. Our subscription deluxe bouquets are larger than typical market bouquets. Your spring bouquet may include tulips, anemones, ranunculus, sweet peas, novelty daffodils, stock and more! The bouquet will be either a mixed bouquet or a single variety bunch, depending on what is blooming in our field- grower’s choice! Here are some of the benefits of being a CSA member:

1. The best part, of course, is you receive 5 weeks of our beautiful blooms.

2. The opportunity to visit our farm during our CSA Appreciation Night in the summer.

3. Your share is an investment in your local agricultural economy.

4. You gain an understanding of the seasonality of flowers and what flowers bloom in which months in our Virginia climate.

5. 10% Discount code for our apparel.

6. Education on how to arrange your flowers and care tips on keeping your flowers fresh.

Start time: early April. You will be notified by email newsletter about 1-2 weeks before the start of the share subscription. Spring subscribers will receive 5 bouquets anytime early April through late May.

A note about spring blooms: If you live in Virginia, you know how unpredictable our weather can be. Because spring flowers often bloom in flushes with gaps in between, THIS SUBSCRIPTION IS NOT ALWAYS WEEKLY. I will be in touch via email (in advance) to let you know which weeks we will have subscription bouquets. Most likely date scenario depending on weather: 1st, 3rd, and 4th weeks of April/1st week of May. Then, 3rd and 5th week of May. Pick up locations (subject to change):

1. Poppy Pointe, 1747 J Allied St, Charlottesville, VA 22903

2. Darling x Dashing Boutique, 115 1st St. South, Charlottesville, VA 22902

3. Foothills Flower Farm, 3140 Doctors Xing Charlottesville, VA 22911

We need around a minimum of 4 weekly shares to sell per location in order to make that location a pick up spot. If we don't meet our bouquet threshold, there is a chance we will find another location, or offer you a refund. So share with your friends and family who might also be interested in a flower share at your preferred location! You can even split a share! Our pickup locations in Charlottesville automatically add $2/delivery at checkout. (5 bouquets= 5 deliveries=$10)Picking up your bouquet: I understand that my bouquet subscription means a fresh bouquet will be delivered weekly at the pickup locations above or picked up at Foothills Farm. If I am out of town or unable to pick up my CSA for any reason, I understand that it is my responsibility to find a substitute to take my share. If I am unable to find a substitute, I will not receive credit or a refund for any bouquets that I do not pickup. Pickup time parameters are specific to the host location. It is my responsibility to pick up my share during the designated time period on the designated day. I understand that if my bouquet is not picked up on the designated day, within the designated time, I forfeit that bouquet and it will be donated at the discretion of the host pickup location. There is slightly more flexibility with farm pick up, (time changes within the designated pick up day may be available if given a 24 notice) and that will be discussed with those choosing our farm as their location.Gift a subscription! The perfect Mother’s Day, birthday or holiday gift for teachers, child care providers, friends or family members. It’s a gift that can be enjoyed for weeks on end. If you gift shares to more than one recipient, please add each share to your cart individually.
