– Do you want convenience of a regular order?
– Do you want to not have to worry about your meat supply each month?
– Do you want great variety of healthy food for your family?
– Do you want a great price on quality meat?

As a CSA member, or subscriber, you agree to get a regular order automatically at a special price.  Your payment comes out each order cycle and you know it is coming! This allows us to concentrate on farming and looking after our land without having to spend a lot on advertising and promotions for new orders.  It gives you surety of getting supply regularly each month and surety for us to grow and process the meat for you.

How does our subscription work?

As a member of Tarinore Farm’s CSA, you will receive a regular meat box of the meat type you choose – Lamb/Hogget, Beef or a mix.  You subscribe for an initial minimum of six months of box orders (then it automatically renews) , and pay for it in regular instalments when orders are filled – currently approx Bi-monthly (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov).

What this does is gives us the ability to schedule and plan our production better, gives us some piece of mind, and what you get is a special price for your packs, bonuses and other specials for your box we will provide for our CSA members, and Invitations to special member events.

We also offer members the ability to suspend their subscription once every six months to allow some flexibility.  This helps if you will be away or you find you are having a slow eating month :)….

In the future we aim to offer 12mth subscriptions as we develop our land and production systems so we can ensure a constant supply all year for you.

The CSA model brings the security of your food back to a local and regional basis, providing you a direct link to us as farmers so you know where your food comes from, you monitor us to keep check on what and how we produce it, and we partner in the process.  Ultimately we want to produce a great healthy product for you (and us) and regenerate, improve and build a sustainable land base for the future.

CSA – Community Supported Agriculture was started in Japan in the 70s. It is based on principles of direct distribution with relationships between the farmer and the consumer. It works on the basis of sharing in the production based on organic, agro-ecological or regenerative farming, but also sharing in some of the risks.

Over the past year we have seen directly some of the short falls in the current food and distribution systems that are now so focused on share holder dollar returns and international trade.  This is our way to helping make changes to the food system.

If there is any one way to best support a farming family, it is to purchase a CSA share. By committing yourself to a share, which is paid six monthly, either up front, or monthly by direct debit, you better support our farming practices allowing us to focus on the management of our land and the health of our animals and give us the ability to be more resilient and able to make better decisions in our management. We want to develop a connection with you as our customer and bring you into our production and the production of the food you put on your table each day.

CSA is about FAIR FOOD and resilient and REGENERATIVE production, reflecting true production value, including that everyone wins, eater and farmers alike – Thank you for your respect, support and appreciation.
