We’re excited to announce our 2023 Tiny Hearts Flower CSA program! Scroll down to learn more about our flexible, free-choice CSA options with convenient pickup at our beautiful Hillsdale flower shop. This season is shaping up to be Tiny Heart’s best yet, with new greenhouses and expanded field production and season extension – meaning more glorious flowers all season long!
What is it?
Flower CSA members pre-pay for their flowers in advance of the growing season, which in turn helps our farm shoulder the early season expenses of growing at a time when farm revenues are low (these costs include things like seeds, greenhouse heat, etc.) CSA members receive a unique code to be used to pre-order flowers online (for pickup at our Hillsdale Flower Shop), and a swipe-able card to be used for in-person flower shopping at our Hillsdale shop. New this year, we are offering exclusive CSA member benefits – keep on reading!
How does it work?
When you join our CSA, you’ll receive a unique code and swipeable card loaded with your pre-paid amount. Upon purchase, you’ll get an email acknowledgement followed by a card in the mail with your CSA materials. Once the season begins, we’ll post our flower availability early each week and send you an email reminder that the online shop is open for pre-orders. To purchase flowers, click the link in your reminder email or visit our website, choose which flowers you’d like for the week, and enter your CSA code on the cart page. Schedule your ready-by day at checkout and your fresh-cut flowers will be waiting for you to pickup at our Hillsdale, NY flower shop. If you’re not that into online ordering, simply come by our well-stocked shop to use your CSA card towards any available flowers.
Details
Please note that CSA values may only be used to purchase in-season fresh and dried flowers or arrangements through our online shop. They cannot be applied toward delivery charges, wedding or event flowers, hard goods, merchandise, plants or plant materials, or classes and workshops. If you still have a balance remaining on your account when our fresh flower season ends, you can use it to purchase dried flowers or let the balance roll over to next season. CSA purchases are non-refundable but may be transferred to another person.
