JulBud Ranch CSA
What is a CSA? These letters stand for Community Support Agriculture. It's a way for farmers and ranchers to cut out the middle man and get fresh, healthy food direct to you from your local farm.
We are full for the 2024 season! If you'd like to be on the waitlist for any openings throughout the season, or to be contacted when there is extra produce, scroll down.
What to expect
There are many types of CSA's, but ours follows a traditional way of doing farm shares. Our members sign up for a share of the produce we grow, and each week they receive a box or bag of fresh, organically grown produce, harvested the very same day they pick up. There will be 7-8 items in your bag that we, the farmer, select for you based on what is ready to be harvested each week.
Beyond the box
But don't worry, we won't simply give you a bag of food and hope you'll know how to use it all. No, each week you'll receive an email with recipes, ways to preserve your produce, and more. We also have our "Recipe Box" where you can go to find even more recipes. These recipes are categorized by the produce you want to use. So if you're looking for ways to use up some tomatoes, click on the tomatoes file and you'll see all the recipes we've collected that have tomatoes in them.
Extra perks
We don't want you to feel like you're just another customer. A CSA is all about community and that's exactly what we're trying to build. With that in mind, we have even more included with each share.
​
-
Every September we hold a members only Farm Dinner included in the price of your share. Come see the farm, pet the animals, and have fun getting to know your farmers and fellow CSA members!
-
You get a discount to any events we hold at the ranch throughout the year. This doesn't just apply to the CSA season, either. It applies from the day you sign up for a share until December 31st of that same year.
-
And if that's not enough, I also include a discount code in your weekly email for add-on items like our all natural goat milk soaps, skincare, or even eggs!

Each box or bag or 7-8 items, plus all the additional stuff mentioned above will cost you $35 per week that you pick up.

Ready to sign up?
We use a third-party website called Grownby for our farm share registration. If you're ready to sign up, click the link below and it will take you to our farm page on Grownby where you can select which farm share you want, the day you want to pick up, and how you want to pay.
FAQ's
What if I go on vacation and/or can't pick up my share?
You have a couple of options. We offer "vacation weeks" for each share plan. You can claim one of these and receive a credit that can be used to purchase other items such as skincare or eggs. This credit must be used on the Grownby website, not on this website.
​
You can also offer your share to a friend, family member, or neighbor. They can pick up your share for you at the ranch.
