MASON FARMS CORPORATE CSA PROGRAM

FROM SMALL BEGININGS Mason Farms first retail location opened in 1978 at the current road side market location in Lake City. Although the farm has grown significantly over the past decades the Mason Family is still involved in every aspect of the farm and their retail locations.

BOUNTIFUL HARVESTS The Mason’s have seen their farm grow from 10 acres and 1 retail location to over 350 acres of fresh fruits and vegetables which they sell through their 6 retail locations, wholesale division and, of course, CSA MEMBERSHIPS.

AWARD WINNING PRODUCE The Mason family puts quality and service first in every aspect of their business. Their dedication to excellence has been well recognized by the farming community and the numerous customers they serve every day.

HUGE SELECTION Mason Farms currently grows over 100 different varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables at their 350 acre farms in Lake City

SUSTAINABLE FARMING THROUGHOUT THE OPERATION Mason Farms has been leading the industry for over 30 years in soil conservation and minimizing the environmental impact of farms throughout our community and Pennsylvania.

MASON FARMS CORPORATE CSA BASICS 20 WEEKS STARTING IN JUNE PICKED FRESH EACH DAY HALF SHARE 6 TO 8 AND FULL SHARE 10 TO14 DIFFERENT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES EACH WEEK DELIVERED TO YOU AT WORK ON THE SAME DAY AND TIME EACH WEEK REUSABLE CONTAINERS RETURNED EACH WEEK

PICKED FRESH EVERY DAY The Mason Farms staff starts picking at 5:30 am in order to meet the vast amounts of orders going to their retail locations each day and ensure you are receiving the best quality and freshest produce available.

PACKED FRESH AT OUR FARM Mason Farms Fruits and vegetables are picked early morning and brought directly from the field to our packing barn where we assemble your CSA crates for delivery.

CAREFULLY PACKED AND ARRANGED TO AVOID DAMAGES CSA crates are all made of rigid plastic with easy to grip handles insuring that your fresh fruits and vegetables arrive safely. Each CSA crate is carefully assembled in our packing facility and placed on skids making for easy delivery.

READY TO BE DELIVERED TO YOU AT WORK Your CSA will be delivered to you at work by the specified time and at the specified location. We ask that you please drop off the prior weeks empty crates in the morning at the drop off site so we can pick them up when we drop off this weeks CSA crate.

THATS ALL FOLKS Mason Farms CSA program is a simple and convenient way for you to provide your family with the freshest locally grown produce in Erie. Please contact your corporate CSA representative for information on pricing and payment options.
