New in 2026: dual pricing for CSA payments

At the start of last year 2025 we raised the prices of our vegetable shares for the first time in over two years in order to keep up with inflation and the many rising costs of doing business. We really didn't want to increase our prices again this year, so in order to maintain the same CSA prices to get you the best deal, we are implementing a new dual pricing structure for our vegetable shares to help us recover some of the card processing fees lost. Check and cash payments will be the lowest price/best deal. Card and Venmo payments will be subjected to a slightly higher price. Not applicable to SNAP payments.

Payment methods accepted:

  • Please make checks payable to:

    Heron Pond Farm

    299 Main Avenue

    South Hampton NH 03827

    In the memo, please note what shares you are paying for. If your name is different than what is on your account, please note that as well. Thank you!

  • Our Venmo business handle is @HeronPondFarm

    You will see our logo and information! We will like or comment on your transaction once it has been recorded.

  • In Local Food Marketplace you are asked to enter your CC info, but it does not automatically charge your card. Either you or our CSA manager Mikayla has to go in to manually charge the card.

    You may also swipe your card via Square at the farm store, market, or pick up.

    If you need help, please reach out to info@heronpondfarm.com with your questions.

  • Cash is king. Please be sure to seal in an envelope and note what it is for!

  • We are proud to partake in New Hampshire’s nutrition incentive programs including Granite State Market Match to help increase food accessibility!

    When the program is fully funded we have been able to offer a 1:1 match meaning SNAP customers only need to pay 1/2 of the total cost of any vegetable or mushroom shares purchased.

    Since August 2025 our SNAP Match limit has been met. The funding cycle resets in May 2026. Stay tuned for more information and reach out if you’re interested in signing up with SNAP!

    We accept SNAP/HIP at the farm store; currently open Wednesday-Friday 10am-6pm, on Saturday from 4pm-6pm (we only have one processing terminal which travels to markets) and Sundays 10am-6pm. The schedule will change again in May.

 

why is paying up front important?

Upfront payments are essential to the operation of our CSA program and keeping the farm a year round entity. We are investing in you just as much as you are investing in us - we are in this together! Prior to the start of the season, it is critical that we have the funds needed to purchase inputs like seeds, manure, and compost, as well as to make improvements on the farm like fixing equipment, and continuing to pay our year round staff. Your commitment also helps us to plan better for the season ahead. We do not want the cost of our CSA program to be prohibitive or leave anyone out, so we offer payment plans and accept SNAP!

Payment Plans

Those who are unable to pay the full amount up front can opt in to a monthly payment plan which splits your total balance into 4 equal payments. Payments are due on the 15th of each month and you will receive a reminder email. If you are able to make more than one payment monthly, you are encouraged to so!

Early Bird Sale

Every year, we run the Early Bird Sale throughout the month of January for folks who register and pay up front by the 31st. You may sign up for the coming Summer and/or Winter season, but keep in mind that this is the only time we offer a discount on our Winter CSA shares. Savings this year were $50 off a Little Blue share or $75 off a Great Blue.
