📍 Quick Answer
The Pennypack Farm CSA microgreen partnership delivers fresh same-day-harvested microGREENFX microgreens to Pennypack CSA members for 24 weeks at $10/week ($240 per season). Members of the Pennypack CSA can opt into the microgreen add-on, and we deliver to the Pennypack Farm pickup location in Horsham, PA each delivery week. It is the cheapest way to access farm-direct microgreens consistently in Pennsylvania.
When CSA members open their weekly share box, they typically see the same vegetables their neighbors got, week after week. The model works but it gets repetitive. Member retention drops in season three. 🌾
The Pennypack Farm CSA in Horsham, PA partnered with microGREENFX in 2023 to add fresh microgreens to every box. The result: a consistently distinctive add-on that costs CSA members $10/week and gives them access to greens that are otherwise hard to source consistently.
Here is how the partnership actually works.
What CSA Members Get 📦
- 24 weeks of fresh microgreens at $10/week ($240 per season).
- Weekly pickup at the Pennypack Farm location in Horsham, PA alongside the regular CSA share.
- Rotating microgreen varieties across the season, sunflower, broccoli, pea shoots, radish, garnet amaranth, kale, and seasonal specialties.
- Same-day-harvest freshness - we cut Tuesday morning for Tuesday afternoon delivery to the CSA pickup location.
- Lowest microgreen access price in Pennsylvania. Standalone microgreen subscriptions run $25-50/week. The CSA-bundle pricing brings it to $10/week because of the operational efficiency of single-location bulk delivery.
Why CSAs Add Microgreens 🌱
Microgreens fix the "every box looks the same" problem CSAs face in seasons two and three. Members open their box and see a fresh, vibrantly colored microgreen variety they did not get last week. Photogenic. Recipe-driving. Different.
For the CSA itself, the partnership is operationally easy. Microgreens are added to the existing share, not a separate delivery. The CSA does not have to grow microgreens themselves (which requires very different infrastructure than vegetable farming). Members handle their own opt-in.
For Pennypack Farm specifically, the partnership reinforces their identity as a community-supported, regenerative farm that connects members to multiple high-quality local sources. They are the orchestrator; we are the microgreen specialist.
How Other Farms Can Partner with Us 🤝
We are intentionally selective about CSA partnerships. The Pennypack Farm partnership works because Pennypack has a committed member base, a fixed weekly delivery schedule, and a single pickup location that is reachable from our farm in Schwenksville.
Other CSAs and farms in Southeast Pennsylvania interested in a similar arrangement can apply at microgreenfx.com/csa/apply/. We respond personally within 24 hours. The model is replicable for the right partner farms but we will not commit to a partnership that compromises freshness or member experience.
For individual customers who are not part of a CSA, regular microGREENFX home delivery is available at microgreenfx.com/order - same freshness, slightly higher per-week price (~$25-30/week starting), more variety choice.
