The Marin Sun Farms Meat CSA has been formed to allow our customers the opportunity to more directly support our livestock production and processing efforts through 6 month and 1 year membership purchases and monthly pick ups. This effort represents a formal mechanism for more affordably supplying meats that are raised locally, ethically, sustainably, and humanely. 

What's a CSA?: Members of a Community Supported Agriculture program support local farms by buying "shares" of future harvests in this case, meat animals. By paying for shares up front, CSA members guarantee farmers the capital they need to bring their animals from field to market. In return, members will receive monthly packages containing steaks, roasts, ground, and additional listings if desired, like: sausage, chicken, and discounted cuts of meat.

What does being a member mean?:

           1)     You will be subscribed to our member email list.

           2)     You will be committed to a monthly package.

           3)     You will be able to order from our list of monthly additional offerings.

What's in a package?: Each package has an approximate amount, in lbs, of frozen cuts from our several species of livestock. Catagorized as Steaks, Roasts, and Ground. At our discretion, we will fill a package with frozen cuts of meat that fit each category. See the following link: CSA-CUTS. Should you prefer to not receive meat from a particular species, you will be able to exempt one species in the initial subscription form.

Prices: You can expect to save up to 20% by purchasing your meat through the CSA packages as compared to purchasing incrementally from our Butcher Shop or Farmers Markets and even more by ordering further discounted additional tems.

Pick up locations: Each of the following Pick Up locations will have a sponsor host. This host is responsible for providing and overseening the pick up site, including establishing any rules/guidelines for the site. Rules, guidelines, and information for each site is provided at the location links below.

Marin Sun Farms is responsible for delivering the frozen member packages to each site and placing them into the MSF cold storage tote (large insulated crate) or any other established cold storage area (Freezer or Cold Room). After delivery, the host will facilitate the pick up site requirements. For instance, dry ice may be needed to keep packages frozen/cold, so the host will impliment a requirement of $X/member to pay for the dry ice. These requirements/rules are listed at the location links below.

Members MUST pick up within the time frame detailed for each site location unless otherwise arranged with MSF or the site host prior to the scheduled pick up. Packages not picked up will be forfieted. A member may request to skip 1 months pick up per 6 month subscription by contacting lea@marinsunfarms.com or calling (415) 663-8997 Ext. 203.

Please see our Host Site Program to apply for a new pick up location.
