What Is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a relationship between community members and our small farm. Members commit to the season, which helps offset early-season costs like seeds and soil amendments. In exchange, members receive fresh, locally grown food throughout the year, plus a few member perks.
Different From the Rest
Runamuk’s CSA isn’t a cookie-cutter box for a set number of weeks. It runs in every season, offering fresh, locally produced food all year long. You decide how much your household wants to invest, and that becomes a pre-paid credit you draw from as the season goes — add more whenever your balance runs low.
Our ordering system lets you pick what your family actually wants, and none of what you don’t.
You decide how much or how little of any item to order. We grow and harvest to your specifications, assembling member orders for pickup on Fridays. It’s flexible — shop for what you need, when you need it, at the farmstand or through your weekly order.
2026–2027 Season: New Share Tiers
As always, Runamuk’s CSA credit comes with a bonus — the more you commit up front, the more you get to spend.
| Tier | You Pay | Your Credit | 10% Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🌱 Senior Share (65+) | $150 | $165 | $15 |
| 🌾 Standard Share | $250 | $275 | $25 |
| 🌿 Sustaining Share | $400 | $440 | $40 |
How it works: Pay in whatever tier fits your household, and I’ll load your account with the bonus credit right away. Every week I’ll post an availability list — order whatever you want in the quantities that suit you, and I’ll deduct it from your balance. No fixed box. No mystery vegetables you didn’t ask for. Just what’s actually ready, when it’s ready.
Not sure which tier fits? The Standard Share is a good starting point for most households. The Senior Share is sized for smaller households or lighter use. The Sustaining Share is for anyone who wants to invest more in the farm and in local food access for the season — see below for what that makes possible.
A note for seniors
Runamuk is applying to join the Maine Senior FarmShare Program for the 2027 season — a state program that provides a $50 farm-share benefit to income-eligible Maine seniors, at no cost to you. That application isn’t open yet. In the meantime, the Senior Share tier above is available to any member 65 or older, right now, at Runamuk’s own reduced rate.
Member Perks
Bonus Credit
Every tier comes with bonus credit, just for committing to the season with us. We take pride in offering local food to local people, and being able to reward that commitment.
