How Credits Work
When you subscribe to a CSA, the value of your subscription is dispersed in the value of credits each week. Each credit is a value of $1.
Each week, the value of that week’s subscriptions is applied to your account. You can choose to get the pre-filled selections or edit your order based on the value allocated for that week. Ex 10 credits ($10) for a weekly mushroom share.
The value of a weekly vegetable share will vary from week to week based on what is seasonally available.
When you put your CSA on hold, you will receive credits to be used at a future date. For this hold period credit will be applied to your account for held boxes.
Key points about credits:
- If you put your CSA on hold for a week or more you will receive credits to your account for the value of the box that week. Credits are not applied until the hold date.
- If you edit the box any given week and the final value of the cart is less than the value of the box that week, your credits ARE NOT carried over for use in the future
- If you edit the box and the value is more than the set value of the box that week, then your credit card on file will be charged if you do not have a pre-existing positive balance
- Credits/positive balances cannot be used to purchase additional subscriptions in the next season
- Credits/ positive balances can be carried over from one season to the next within the same calendar year, but not year over year
The system is designed this way to support the fundamental concepts of what a CSA is and how it fluctuates with the season. We work hard to make sure that the dollar value associated with the food portion of the CSA is provided to you in full or more each season.
