EC Matthews
Workplace CSA Program
EC Matthews Company is excited to offer CSA vouchers as a wellness benefit to all full-time employees this CSA season! Employees can apply a CSA voucher (aka coupon code) to cover 75% of the cost of a weekly small or regular vegetable share with no upfront payment. They pay only 25% of the balance through payroll deduction once the season begins. Shares can also conveniently be picked up at EC Matthews every Thursday starting in June!

What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
​
A local produce subscription where members receive weekly deliveries of vegetables and some fruits for 20+ weeks starting in May.
​
A model of buying food focused on the community where a participant pays in advance for a share and becomes an important farm member for the whole season.
​
A weekly box or basket of fresh, seasonal vegetables. The items in a share are harvested at their peak ripeness and will often store longer and have more flavor than other produce.
​
