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 is our LAST WEEK of the Immune Booster CSA. Just like last year, we will be enjoying our last collaborative Immune Booster box on May 24 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 Saturday Chelsea Farmers Market as pick up locations.
Our Immune Booster CSA-Week 220 menu is now ready for $79 with pick up on Saturday, May 24. Registration is now open and closes by midnight on Wednesday, May 21. As always, we 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. Choose the Pick Up Protocol button above for details or see below in the Pick Up Location details.

Pick up is every Saturday. Choose your pick up location:

Please come to the first building you will see with a round “sun window”. When you arrive at the distribution location, please park your car in any of the parking spaces in front of the porch under the sun window or across the parking lot from the porch. At this point, please come inside the farm market to pick up your share in the reach in coolers inside the market. Please remember to check off the contact person’s name on the Sign In List. You may unpack your box into your own carry containers or you may return the box the following week. You also may take some time to look around and find other items from the market such as eggs, maple syrup, honey, bread, oats, dried beans, sauerkraut, frozen meat, gelato, cheese, yogurt, snacks, soap, jams, coffee, etc. that you need for your household. - **WINTER LOCATION: Agricole Farm Stop (9 AM – 12 PM), 118 North Main St, Chelsea
Simply come inside Agricole and ask a friendly Agricole or Tantre staff member to check off your name on the Pick Up List. You may have to go to the front counter to ask for help. Then they will show you where your box is located. If you are uncomfortable coming into the store, please call the Agricole store number (734-562-2840), and a staff member will bring your share out to you. Agricole staff can answer limited questions. Agricole is not responsible for shares left unclaimed, unless prior arrangements have been made, so contact Deb at 734-385-6748 if something has come up.
*Please review the PICK UP PROTOCOL prior to your pick up date.
Payment Options:
Credit card payments using PayPal (online transaction with an online fee) are suggested. This helps streamline some very time-consuming data entry for our staff, since PayPal is set up with our registration system. Another option is that you may also pay with Check, Cash, or Venmo. Please note if you choose to use the COD option, you may bring a Check or Cash in a labeled envelope on Saturdays or make a Venmo payment to @Deb-Lentz ahead of time.
