The Immune Booster CSA is for those of you, who are looking to support our community of local farmers and food businesses and also supplement your supplies with fresh produce and value-added products. We provide a different, weekly menu for you to opt in our out of every week with registration open on Mondays through Wednesdays. These boxes are also perfect to bring along if you are driving to your vacation cabin for the weekend or as a gift for someone who has done something kind for you, and you can’t think of what else to give them. This particular CSA is available for Purchase December – May. It will resume December 2026. Thank you to everyone who supported us this year! The Tantre Produce Box is available from June through October to opt in or opt out each week along side the Summer CSA.
LAST WEEK OF IMMUNE BOOSTER CSA UNTIL NEXT WINTER: Just like last year, offered our last collaborative Immune Booster box for pick up on May 23 for the winter/spring months, which will be followed in the summer months by our offering of the Tantre Produce Box to opt in or opt out each week along side the Summer CSA for those of you who are interested in purchasing the Summer CSA shares one week at a time at the Saturday Washtenaw Food Hub and the Chelsea Farmers Market as pick up locations. More details will be coming soon!
As you look over this menu, hopefully you will find some intriguing items to share with others either as value-added items or especially as our own gift of feeding each other, so please consider signing up! Our last Immune Booster CSA “Memorial Day Weekend” menu was $77 We always have a wonderful line-up of local, fresh produce, healthy prepared foods, and artisanal treats to share, especially from some of the original vendors from those first few weeks over 200 weeks ago.
With each share you will receive an email on Friday with a newsletter describing how to use and store each item along with recipe ideas on how to combine certain items. Please pay careful attention in your confirmation email to which location you choose when you sign up.
