Frequently Asked Questions
Unfortunately, we were unable to offer CSA shares for the 2023 & 2024 seasons but plan to continue offering these in 2025.
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for "Community Supported Agriculture." Purchasing a "share" in a CSA program guarantees members a portion of that year's harvest, while providing the farm with the capital needed for early season expenses. This model fosters a strong relationship between farmers and their surrounding communities.
By investing in Valley Ridge Farm, our CSA members directly support a local family business. In return, they receive our strongest commitment to work tirelessly toward providing an abundant and varied selection of the most beautiful dahlia blooms of the season! Once the buds start opening and the field is bursting with amazing color, weekly dahlia bouquets will be provided to our members as their "share" of the harvest.

What if I'm unable to pick up my share for a certain week?
We encourage members who are unable to collect their share to send a friend or neighbor to pick it up. If you send us a message in advance, we can try to make other arrangements. Any unclaimed shares will be donated to a local organization.
Can I order additional flowers to pick up with my share?
Absolutely! If you would like to order extra flowers, feel free to place an order from our store or send us an email to check on availabilty. In addition to dahlias, we often have other flower varieties growing and are happy to deliver with your dahlia share.
Can I purchase a share for someone else?
Of course! Valley Ridge Farm dahlia shares make wonderful gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and other special occasions. If someone else will be the member, just use the Order Notes box in the cart to enter their name, email, and phone number before completing checkout. This will ensure that we can contact them about the season start date and as needed regarding shares.
