What's the difference between CSA+ and the Market Box?
CSA+ runs in summer and fall and is 100% local. The Market Box runs in the Holiday, Winter and Spring sessions and features New York makers, with some produce from beyond New York. Price, pickup and perks are the same.
Can I join after the session starts?
Yes! You can join through the 7th week of any session. You pay once, up front, for just the boxes that are left, so you never pay for boxes you missed. Join in week 4 and it's 7 boxes for $195.30. In the last 3 weeks? Sign up for the next session instead.
Can I try it first, or give it as a gift?
Yes to both. The 4-week trial is $117, and if you like it you can stay for the rest of the session at the member rate. It also makes a great holiday gift: pick up a gift certificate at our counter. Gift trials start with the Winter Market Box.
Can I swap out something I don't like?
The surprise is part of the fun, so we pack the boxes. But if you have an allergy or there's something you just don't like, tell us and we'll swap it for something else. If a whole week doesn't suit you, use your Free Pass to skip it and choose other market items instead.
What if I'm away one week?
That's what the Free Pass is for. You can also pick up any day or time after Friday.
Do I have to pay it all up front?
No. Paying in full gets you the best price ($279), but an installment payment plan is available. Just ask when you sign up.
How much food is it?
Each box has 6 to 12 items and serves 2–3 people for the week.
What does the 6% discount cover?
Everything else you buy in the store during your session, except sale items, bulk items and equipment. Trial memberships don't include the discount.
