Use this gift card all season long at our Wayside Stand! Streamline your purchasing experience or give it as a gift to someone you know would love it!

For those new to our idea, let us explain…

Our farm is a seasonal business and there is NO cash flow from January till June. I remember Norm Greig once saying that in May a $1.00 bill feels like a $20.00 bill to a farmer. We borrow money against our operating loan to get us through.

CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farms were designed to help with this problem. We thought that maybe we could take this idea and mold it to fit the needs here at Montgomery Place Orchards.

For those of you unfamiliar with the CSA method, the basic idea is as follows:

“When you become a member of a CSA, you’re purchasing a ‘share’ of produce from a regional farmer. Weekly or bi-weekly, from June until October or November, your farmer will deliver that share of produce to a convenient drop-off location in your neighborhood. CSA members pay for an entire season of produce upfront. This early bulk payment enables your farmer to plan for the season, purchase new seed, make equipment repairs, and more”

We would like to adapt this idea of ‘cash upfront’ with a creative use of our farm stand Gift Card. With a CSA you are given a share of produce each week that is selected by the grower. With our Gift Card idea, YOU get to chose WHAT produce (or jam, honey, cheese, cider, donuts…) you would like to get and WHEN you want to get it.
