Hello veggie-lovers! Fall Quarter produce sign up is here!!! :D
The Real Food Collaborative's produce subscription is an example of "Community-Supported Agriculture" (CSA) where consumers -- we the Cal Poly community (students, faculty, & staff) -- invest in a farm -- in this case, Cal Poly Orchards and Organic Farm -- in exchange for a share of the harvest, a bi-weekly produce box. Each pick up is 7-10 seasonal fruits and veggies grown on campus.
Rotations for Fall Quarter 2023 will cost $60 - this includes 4 bi-weekly pick-ups ($15 each). One time pickups are $20.
As the quarter progresses, prices will be prorated. Payments can be made with CASH OR CHECK (made out to ASI - Cal Poly with Real Food Collaborative on the memo line) on the day of your 1st pickup. Please pay in full. If you are unable to pay the total amount on the day of the 1st pick-up please let us know and we can work out a payment system with you.
Also, if you would like to donate a box to the Cal Poly food pantry, please signify below and make your payment during our regular pick up times on Wednesday from 2-4 pm.

****Pick-ups will be on Wednesdays on Dexter Lawn (close to the Library) from 2-4 pm.

Missed Pick Up Policy:
We really don't want you to ever have to miss out on veggies! BUT If you are unable to pick up your veggies, please
let us know by 8pm the Sunday before in order to not be charged. You will be charged for half a box if you cancel between Sunday Night and Wednesday Morning. If we do not hear from you until pick-up time or not at all, you will be charged for the entire box and your produce will be donated to the food pantry. This will help us order the proper quantities!! Thank you (:
****Dependent upon Cal Poly's decision regarding potential campus closures, subscribers will be refunded for any cancelled pick-up dates due to changes in campus guidelines.
We are The Real Food Collaborative, a campus club with the mission of creating a more socially and environmentally just food community at Cal Poly. We want to build community around real food! This produce subscription is one of our many efforts to cultivate more thoughtful eaters on Cal Poly's campus, and we are very glad you love vegetables as much as we do! Please spread the word to all your foodie friends!
