We offer three types of CSAs at the Magic Bean Farm. The Flower CSA is eight weeks of beautiful blooms in the height of summer! The Four Seasons CSA is a taste of our offerings throughout the year, one delivery per season. The Farm Share is a flexible on farm pick up option for folks with busy schedules. Keep reading to learn more and to sign up for the CSA that works best for you!
Fill your home with fresh, local blooms from our farm! Each week you will receive a mixed bouquet featuring the most beautiful seasonal blooms. Every Thursday, starting in July, your bouquet will be ready for pick up at Fox Market in East Montpelier. The Summer Flower CSA fills up fast and will be available starting in January. Sign up for our newsletter (below) to be first on the list.
Our Four Seasons CSA is a taste of our offerings throughout the year. This is perfect for folks with a busy schedule or folks who might live a little farther away. We coordinate a seasonal delivery based on your schedule - Tulips in Spring, Fresh Flowers in Summer, a Dried Flower Wreath in Autumn and an Evergreen Wreath in Winter. The benefit of this CSA is that it’s available year round so you can sign up whenever it’s convenient and know that you will be getting a seasonal offering throughout the year.
Our Farm Share is a great lower price option for busy folks. Each week, throughout the growing season (Early May-Mid September) we will have mixed bouquets available for on farm pick up for our Flower Farm Share members. You choose when you want to pick up and your bouquet will be waiting for you.
CSA stand for Community Supported Agriculture. You’ve probably seen a lot of veggie CSAs in the area, and maybe you are already a member! A flower CSA is the same idea, but instead of produce you will receive a weekly bouquet of flowers. Think of our Flower Share as a weekly bouquet subscription. As a CSA member you agree to pay for your flowers ahead of time and we agree to make you a beautiful flower arrangement each week from Early July to the end of August. It’s mutually beneficial and a great way to meet your farmer!
If you are interested in a traditional, weekly delivery of bouquets, you’re going to want to sign up for our Summer CSA. You will receive a weekly bouquet each week through the summer, so this is the perfect CSA if you stay close to central Vermont for the Summer.
If you want a taste of our offerings throughout the year, or your schedule is a little more hectic, you’ll want to sign up for our Four Seasons CSA. With this offering we’ll work with you so you get your CSA delivery each season, for a total of four pickups. The Four Seasons CSA is also available year round, so you can sign up anytime.
If you can’t make a weekly commitment but you want to be sure to get our fresh blooms, you’ll wan to sign up for our Farm Share. You choose when you want flowers and pick them up on the farm. This is our lowest price option so it’s good for folks with a limited flower budget.
CSA memberships are a symbiotic relationship, much like a bee pollinating a flower. As a CSA member you pay for your share up front and in exchange we will provide you with beautiful flowers. When you pay for your share up front it helps us with costly farm inputs, like seeds and soil, when we really need it - before the growing season starts! As a member you are encouraged to sign up for our weekly newsletter which is filled with news from the farm, and early-bird notifications about our workshops and pop-ups, not to mention CSA pick-up reminders!
For our Summer CSA we partner with one of our favorite local spots, Fox Market in East Montpelier, Vermont. You can pick up your bouquet on Thursdays from 4-6pm at Fox Market starting in early July.
Our Four Seasons CSA is a little different, because instead of a weekly delivery, you are getting one delivery per season. This gives us a little more flexibility and we can work with you to find the perfect delivery time!
Our Farm share is available for on farm pick up. We email you with updates about availability and you reserve your bouquet and pick up on the farm.

Your best bet is to sign up for our newsletter so you know when our CSAs become available. Our Summer Flower CSA fills up fast, but don’t worry, if it’s full you can join the waitlist by sending me an email at sarah@magicbeanfarmer.com.
The Four Seasons CSA is available year round and shouldn’t be full. If we have too many folks sign up for the current season we will ask you to delay your first pickup to the following season.
Farm Shares are available on demand for the entire growing season.
We get it, busy schedules or the cost might mean a CSA is out of reach. Don’t worry! We have bouquets available at Fox Market and AR Market throughout the growing season. We also sell our blooms to local florists Emslie’s in Barre and The Pink Shutter in Montpelier.
