CSA is an acronym for Community Supported Agriculture. And essentially, it's a subscription to a local farm. Like your Netflix subscription, except you get a weekly "episode" of the season’s best harvest, delivered to your front door.

• The Investment: Community members (often called "shareholders") pay for a "share" of the harvest before the growing season begins. This provides the farmer with the upfront capital needed to buy seeds, maintain equipment, and cover labor costs. With Lot & Acre's subscription model, members are not asked to pay everything (all 20 weeks) up front. Rather, it's a pay-as-you-go weekly subscription for $60 (taxes and delivery included), with reservations available now (reservation includes the first delivery starting June 1st). Then you're billed weekly with an invoice you can pay at your convenience. Our season begins Monday, June 1st, and runs until Thursday, October 15th. Cancel anytime.
  

• The Reward: In return, members receive regular deliveries—weekly—of whatever produce is currently ripening. Produce is harvested 24 hours before delivery. Fresh means fresh. Members eat in harmony with the natural calendar. Members know exactly where and how their food is grown.

Each weekly box is 18x12x12. It's packed to the brim, with more than enough produce for 4 people.

Our growing season runs from June 1st through October 15th, and because we follow the natural growing cycle, the contents of each crate change every week based on what's ripening from spring through summer and into the fall.

Delivery is free. We deliver on Mondays and Thursdays. You can set your preference in the checkout. We deliver anywhere in the city of Chicago. And to several Chicagoland suburbs: Skokie, Lincolnwood, Evanston, Oak Park, Forest Park, Maywood, Bellwood, Rosemont, Des Plaines, Franklin Park, Elmwood Park, Harwood Heights, Norridge, Park Ridge, Niles. If you live nearby any of these suburbs, ask if we deliver there, we're flexible!

Our season runs from June 1st to October 15th, so our first deliveries begin Monday, June 1st and end Thursday, October 15th.

We bill $60 for the CSA reservation and first week delivery up front which you can purchase now

And then we switch to a simple invoice system each week after. That means starting with your second delivery, you'll receive a paper invoice (and redundant email invoice) that you can pay at your convenience. We accept Zelle, CashApp, Venmo, cash, debit cards, and credit cards.

Our season begins Monday, June 1st, and goes until Thursday, October 15th. We deliver straight to your door on Mondays and Thursdays. Contact us with any questions.

Of course. And you won't be billed. Just try and shoot us an email or msg a week or so in advance so we can mark it!

Going on three seasons now. Growing (no pun) a little bit bigger each season. We plan on adding more variety and products with time. We started with 25 members, which gave on to 60 members, and now we're gunning for one-hunnert.

Very. A CSA subscription model requires excellent communication in order to coordinate delivieries, any changes, answer questions, etc. We answer every query promptly. Members have our phone number.
