Thanks for your interest in our 2025 CSA program! Please refer to the FAQ's below and if you have any further questions, please contact us at courtney@sunscapefarms.com.
You can sign up in the following ways:
The 2025 CSA season will start the week of June 30. All registered members will recieve advance notice of the first pickup day via email.
The CSA will be 17 weeks long, and you are guaranteed 15% more produce by value than you paid for, according to our farm market pricing.
Please note that we have shortened the CSA from 18 weeks to 17 weeks starting in 2025. Our weather has been too variable, with late freezes and other stressful and difficult growing conditions. We can provide a better experience for all of our CSA members if our CSA starts a bit later in the season.
Over the course of the season, the produce you receive will be approximately 30-35% fruit (by value) and the rest vegetables. There is a great mix of each and you will enjoy the excellent variety!
When you register for your CSA share, you choose which of the following locations is closest to you:
Sunscape Farms (Penfield)
1416 Creek St
Rochester, NY 14625
Sunscape Farms (Greece)
1530 Maiden Ln
Rochester, NY 14626
On your online or paper application, you'll choose a particular pickup day on which you will come to your chosen pickup location for your box.
Some pickup days sell out more quickly than others.
If you need to change your pick-up day, you can contact us ahead of time at courtney@sunscapefarms.com.
If you are not able to pick up your box, you can choose to have a friend or family member pick it up for you. They will only need your full name to pick up your box; we'll ask for their name as
well for our records.
The other option is to donate your box to a needy family. Sunscape Farms supports local charities and food pantries and if you contact us ahead of time, we will find a family to whom we'll donate
your box.
If neither option works for you, please contact us at least two days in advance and we can usually reschedule your pickup.
If we didn't hear from you at least two days in advance and you didn't pick up your box during your pickup window, we will save your missed box until 6pm (summer CSA) or 5pm (Fall Harvest Box) the following day. At that time, your box will be donated to charity and will no longer be available.
We will provide you with a collapse-able box. Please return it! Thanks for helping us take care of the Earth!
Yes! For your planning convenience, we post a CSA newsletter online using a password-protected page (access info is sent out to all registered members via email). The newsletter will list what you should expect to see in your box that week along with some recipe suggestions focused on the produce in that week's box!
We allow up to 2 item exchanges per week, as a last resort for those with allergies or who absolutely can't use or give away a certain item. A staff member will help you exchange the item for one of equal value from our farm market.
Remember, each half- or full-share summer CSA Member will receive a CSA Member Card that gives them 10% off additional purchases at the Creek St. and Maiden Ln farm markets for the ENTIRE season! That includes fall decor and Christmas trees that we offer after the CSA ends!
Please note that in the case of already discounted items, we will give you whichever single discount is higher.
