They offer Growing Season Shares for nineteen weeks from mid-June through mid-October for either two adults (Standard Shares) or a family of four (Family Shares) or Summer Shares for two people for ten weeks. All shares include generous amounts of their delicious organic local produce. They aim to provide each shareholder with ten percent more produce than what they paid for. Shares are accompanied by Bahner Farm newsletters with farm news, recipes, and serving and storage advice.
The Bahners have exhibited a keen sense of ingenuity in their business approach. Diversification has proven to be key to their success. They have been quite innovative in their marketing plan offering Early Bird Specials and Refer-a-Friend Discounts. They operate a Facebook page, website, and blog.
Bahner Farm’s fifty-member CSA share program for 2013 is already sold out. Their 2013 Winter Share CSA program is still available. It offers shares that are picked up once every three weeks. These shares include one hundred percent local organic produce, of which approximately ninety percent is grown on their farm, with a few items from other local certified organic farms. There is also an option available for an add-on Artisan Cheese Share where a 12 to 16 oz. artisan cheese is available from Appleton Creamery.
