FAQs

Questions I Actually Get Asked

Straight answers from Cale — no fine print, no runaround.

I'm interested. How does this actually work?

Do I need a membership to order?

No. Anyone can shop the Community Harvest Hub — no membership required. Browse what's available, place an order, and we'll deliver it free. The Harvest Membership saves you 10% on every order and gives you first access before the public window opens, but it's not required to buy from us.

Can I just try one order first?

Absolutely. Most people start with a single order to see the difference for themselves. No commitment, no subscription. Just pick what you want, and we'll deliver it. If you like what you see, and you will, the membership is there when you're ready.

What do you actually sell?

Certified Naturally Grown vegetables, I grow here in Sedalia. Locally raised grass-fed beef and chicken. Pastured eggs. Artisan bread and Einkorn flour milled to order. Palisade peaches, cherries, pears, and apples, in season. Local cheese. Rome's Sausage Company bratwurst, Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, and fresh roasted Hatch chiles. Everything in the Hub is something I'd feed my own family — because I do.

Where do you deliver?

Free home delivery with a $30 minimum to:

Castle Rock · Sedalia · Roxborough · Highlands Ranch · Sterling Ranch · Castle Pines

You can also pick up free at the farm on Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday. In Highlands Ranch and at the Castle Rock Farmers Market.

When do I order, and when does it arrive?

Monday deliveries (Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Sedalia) — order by Saturday at midnight. Wednesday deliveries (Roxborough, Highlands Ranch, Sterling Ranch) — order by Monday at midnight. We harvest to order, so what arrives at your door was in the ground days — sometimes hours — before.

What if I don't like something?

What's your guarantee?

Simple. If you're not happy with a product, I replace it or credit it back — no questions asked. If you join the Harvest Membership and it's not the right fit, you get a full refund on unused credit within 30 days. I don't want your money if you're not getting what you came for.

What if I join the membership and don't use all my credits?

Your credits never expire. There's no subscription. No monthly charge. No auto-renew. You loaded credit, it's yours until you spend it — whether that takes one season or three. No pressure.

What if you don't have what I want on a given week?

That happens. We farm with the seasons, not against them. Some weeks we have thirty items in the Hub, some weeks it's fifteen. Your credits sit there until we have what you want. I'll never push you to buy something just to move product.

Are you actually "organic"?

We're Certified Naturally Grown — which means no synthetic pesticides or herbicides, ever. "Organic" is a USDA certification designed for large-scale operations. Our practices go beyond that. I farm the soil, not just the plants. I've spent over a decade building living soil in Douglas County, and I test it more than most farmers think is necessary. The result is food that tastes as it should.

Is the membership worth it?

How much does it cost — and what do I actually get?

The Table membership is $1,500, which gives you $1,650 in purchasing power. You save 10% on every order, automatically. You get first access to limited harvests each week before the public window opens. You get priority farm tour booking, seasonal recipes, and a  Harvest Bounty Box (free for the first 15 members, $85 value), and the Table Members Dinner
 — an annual meal at the farm only for Table Members,

The math: $125/month. About the cost of one dinner out — except it feeds your family clean, local food all month.

$1,500 sounds like a lot. Are there smaller options?

Yes. Same free delivery, same 10% savings, same catalog access — just smaller starting points. $300 gives you $330 in credit. $500 gives you $550. $700 gives you $770. Start where it makes sense for your family.

How does the membership compare to a CSA box?

A typical weekly CSA runs about $1,820 a year — and you don't choose what goes in the box. You get what they pick. With the Harvest Membership, you choose everything. No mystery boxes. No, kale you didn't ask for. Plus, you get meat, eggs, bread, fruit, cheese, and sausage — not just vegetables. And your credits never expire.

How does it compare to buying premium produce at the grocery store?

A family of four spending on organic produce at Whole Foods or Sprouts is looking at $2,400 to $4,800 a year, from farms they'll never visit, picked at least a week before it hits the shelf. The Harvest Membership is $1,500 for $1,650 in food that was in the ground hours before it reached your door, from a farm ten miles away that you can walk through any Friday or Saturday.

What's it actually like being a customer?

What does a typical weekly order look like?

Most families order between $30 and $60 a week. A common order might be a salad mix, a bunch of carrots, tomatoes, a dozen eggs, and a pound of ground beef. Some weeks people add Palisade peaches or bread. You pick exactly what you want — nothing more, nothing less.

How is the food packaged and delivered?

Your order is packed in reusable bags and delivered to your front door. You can place a cooler if you'd like to (recommended).  Your order is packed to stay fresh. If you're not home, we leave it; it stays cold.

Will my kids actually eat this stuff?

I hear this one a lot. Here's what I've seen: kids who try food grown in real soil eat differently. Last season, kids were coming back to the farm asking for Sweet Snacker peppers by name. Not because anyone told them to. Because the food actually tasted like something. That reference point — knowing what real food tastes like — is something you give your children, or you don't.

Can I visit the farm?

Yes — farm tours every Friday and Saturday, 10 am to 1 pm through May. Walk the fields, see what's growing, ask me anything face-to-face. Harvest Members get priority booking. It's one thing to read about where your food comes from. It's another to stand in the field it came from.

How should I store the produce?

Leafy greens go in the crisper, wrapped loosely in a damp towel. Root vegetables like carrots and turnips prefer a cool, dark spot. Tomatoes stay on the counter, never in the fridge. Eggs go in the fridge. If you're ever unsure, just ask. I'll tell you exactly how long something will last and the best way to keep it.  We even have a Guide that you can print and place on the fridge.

Who's behind this?

Who is Cale?

I'm a full-time law enforcement officer who started farming to feed my own family. Over a decade later, I've served hundreds of families across Douglas County. I pick up a tomato seed, and it still feels like a miracle. My friend Jason works alongside me — he calls the fields his "spacious place." This farm is named after Sandy, my late father-in-law. His inheritance bought this land. Every seed here is funded by his life.

When is the season?

We typically run from May through November. The 2026 season opens in early May. The store and delivery schedule run throughout the season, and I send weekly updates on what's available.

How do I stay in the loop?

Join the email list. I send a weekly update with what's growing, what's available, and what's coming. Members get their update first — usually Tuesday or Wednesday, with first access before the public window opens Thursday at noon. No spam. Just farm news from someone who actually farms.


Still have a question?

I answer every message personally. Ask me anything — I'd rather you know exactly what you're getting before you buy.
