The 2023 Buying Club season begins May 15th! By joining the Chesterhill Produce Auction (CPA) Buying Club, you are providing reliable support for our local farmers. Our Buying Club is based upon the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model where community members reduce the risk for small farmers by “joining” their difficult endeavor to raise a crop at the small farm scale. In exchange they receive a “share” of their harvest. While we strive to bring you the best of produce available, we are still at the whims of nature and the seasonality of the local food system. Thank you for reducing food miles and sharing the risk inherent in small scale agriculture. Thanks to all who supported local producers last year. Follow our Facebook page for updates and email any questions to sal@ruralaction.org

Can’t make it to the Chesterhill Produce Auction during the week? You can still enjoy fresh, local produce by joining the Chesterhill Produce Auction Buying Club! Members receive a bag of assorted seasonal produce purchased from the CPA, and bags can be picked up at whichever pickup location is most convenient for you (see below). Produce is available from May thru October.
We offer a PAY IT FORWARD option if you would like to purchase a share for donation to our food access initiatives.
Sizes and Prices
½ peck: $18
1 peck: $29
1/2 bushel: $41
Bags and boxes can be ordered & paid for either quarterly or seasonally. The nature of the Buying Club is flexible because we want to make getting fresh, local produce work for you! Specialty add-on items will be available throughout the season for an additional cost. These items are available weekly or monthly and costs are on the sign-up form. There are also seasonal and discounted prices available on the sign-up form.
