Market Basket is based on the 40-year-old community-supported agriculture (CSA) concept from Japan. A traditional CSA program offers customers a share of a farmer’s yearly harvest in exchange for a pre-paid subscription fee. Essentially, it provides a community with local produce and ensures a farm’s operation and a farmer’s livelihood for a year. Market Basket accomplishes the same goals, but uses the farmers’ market as the point of contact between farmers and customers.
The program will allow customers to pick up pre-ordered baskets filled with fresh Echo Park Farmers’ Market produce from 5:30-8:00 pm every Friday. Market Baskets can be pre-ordered through online accounts with our website, www.shopfarmernet.com, which will also allow you to manage and renew your subscription. We will accept payment by credit card and EBT/SNAP.
