Get yourself some fresh, local, seasonal, healthy, tasty, affordable vegetables!
Lush Greens is gathering expressions of interest from Bristol residents in becoming members of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) scheme and receiving a delicious bag of veg each week for 26 weeks from June to the end of November in 2025.
A CSA is a partnership between farmer-producers and customer-members in which the responsibilities, rewards and risks of farming are shared. This means that when we have gluts of produce, you'll get more veg, but if the weather or pests mean that the harvest is damaged, then we might have a bit less of something in the boxes.
We ask members to commit to paying for an entire season of 26 weeks from the first week of June, to the last week of November, and to pay for as much of the season up-front as they can afford. This is really important for the survival of the CSA, as it allows us to manage our cashflow, and pay ourselves for the work outside of harvesting. If you can't pay up front, then don't worry, you can spread payments out between June and November on a weekly or monthly basis.
We run the CSA veg scheme on a pay-what-you-can-afford model. We offer some suggested prices, based on household income/wealth, but each member should choose what is affordable for them.
For more info on how the scheme will work and our broader work, check out our website.
If you're interested then we'd be grateful if you could give us a few details via this survey to help us plan for this year. Alternatively just drop an email to lushgreensbristol@gmail.com saying that you're interested and we'll be in touch.
Rest assured that you're not making a binding commitment by filling in this form. More details of the CSA scheme will be shared on the completion of this form.
