2024 CSA Member Information
Hello Wild Child Farm Family!
We are so excited to be just 3 weeks away from our official season launch! Thank you for being a Wild Child Customer and for supporting local, regenerative produce. We love what we do, and we think it shows up in the quality of our food.
The following email contains a lot of information about our CSA this year. If you have questions, concerns or comments, don’t hesitate to reach out directly to me, Miles, at miles@wildchildfarm.love.
Membership Agreements:
As many of you know, CSA shares come with written agreements. As a member, you own your portion of produce from the time it is a seed until the time it is on your fork. For many years, this model has helped farmers to mitigate the many risks and pitfalls of farming. For example, if a giant hail storm devastates our crop, the farm, our customers and all involved parties share the loss. Your support as a member makes it possible for us to have a very wide variety of offerings, and allows us to take care of our soils, our animals and our people without constantly fearing total disaster!
While this agreement is formed to protect the farm, you can rest assured that we will do everything in our power to mitigate all of the risks inherent to farming, from hail, to flooding, pestilence and more! We are in the business of making our customers happy and producing the most nutritious and delicious food in the county.
Please look for an email later this week that will contain your membership agreement. You can sign digitally, or print and return to us directly.
Membership Payment:
Customers who paid for their share in full, please skip ahead to the next section! For those who paid a deposit, please expect a phone call from me or another one of our amazing farmers! Eatfromfarms dot com, the website of our membership, does NOT have a feature for recurring payments and thus we must set it up through Stripe. This means we will call to obtain credit card information. We have several different payment options from weekly to monthly and more.
Pickup Locations:
BOULDER:
We have been patiently awaiting news from Shining Mountain Waldorf School about continuing our pickup there. As many of you know, SMWS built a new highschool and have been trying to dial in the logistics of allowing our pick up. With only a bit more than 3 weeks to go, we have decided to begin pickup at the farm for at least the first two weeks.
*Boulder Customers will pick up their shares on Thursday May 16th and Thursday May 23rd! Pickup time will be from 2 pm to 5:30 PM.
4795 Jay Road
Boulder, CO 80301
Enter the East side gate as shown in the map below. Please do not attempt to enter the residence entrance with the black gate.
LYONS:
We are very excited to have share pickups at MOXIE in downtown Lyons. We are also excited to be the sole provider of produce for the first ever Friday Farmers Market in the parking lot there. Every other Friday, we will be accompanied by other vendors, local music artists, coffee roasters and more. More details about this will follow! Lyons Customers will pick up their shares at Moxie Bread anytime between 2pm and 5pm!

A word on the Newsletter:
Each week we will send out a newsletter with the projected list of items in your share, recipe ideas, cute animal pictures and any updates or announcements we may have. It will come by way of mailchimp and the email address “wildchildfarmlove@gmail.com.” Please make sure to add the email address so our newsletters make it to your inbox and not your spam folder!
Too-Cute Corner
Buckle up and get ready for this week’s cuteness around the farm. This week we have our baby goat “Orejas” nuzzling up her mama “Juno!” Follow @wildchildfarmco on Instagram for more!
Thank you again for your support. We look forward to a fantastic season!
Baby goats and a spring season’s hopes,
The Wild Child Farm Team
