Workplace CSA

What do we mean by workplace CSA?  Our workplace CSA is a great option for business partners that want to give employees the option to get fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables delivered to their offices.  And the best part is that it is all local!  We can help employers increase the healthy options available to employees through our workplace CSA.  There is so much flexibility built into the Know Your Farms service. Employees in the workplace CSA can:

  •  customize the delivery schedule (skip a week or any number you need!)
  • change share sizes if the initial size does not suit you
  • switch pickup locations to any public site if needed
  • control their account details online
  • see what’s coming each week online in multiple places
  • receive and share recipes each week
  • meet wellness goals by getting healthier food options

The workplace CSA helps employees meet wellness goals and gives employers a way to offer a unique benefit.  Know Your Farms Workplace CSA is the most convenient way to get local foods from local farms to your office.  Call or email us if you want to learn more or invite us to your office to speak to employees about this program.
