You can join our box scheme in a number of ways:
One month trial Become a member of Camel CSA and order a regular box
Examples of the contents of our various bags are available here
---0 1234 standard veg boxes (every week) at £36.00 per month ---0 1234 small veg boxes (every week) at £22.50 per month
It is possible to receive boxes every other week. This can be arranged over the phone (01208 812685).
The weekly boxes are ready for collection by 12 noon every Friday. We are in the gradual process of setting up shared collection points and some members have their own shared collection arrangements.
There is the possibility to purchase our own jute bags from us. These bags are from GoJute, a local firm based in St Austell, which operates to strict ethics. The bags are available to standard box customers for the cost price of £5.95 each, or two for £11.90. It’s a returnable deposit, provided the hampers are handed back to us in good condition.
These hampers making the picking and packing sessions a lot more efficient as well as being very practical and good-looking. They’re lined and have sturdy bamboo handles. However, if you prefer to provide your own bag or box this is fine as well.

We welcome new members who live within a 10-mile radius of our plot at St Kew Highway. Membership is an annual £24 per household (£2 (£1 concession) per household per month). This entitles you to order a weekly veg box and to share in the harvest
If you selected the month trial you don’t have to pay membership.
The membership fee supports the general running of the project. It ensures that veg box prices stay low and helps our professional growers to pay for costs ahead such as seeds and compost. In return, members gain access to friendly advice, training and social events with the chance to make new friends and to take healthy exercise.
Camel CSA strongly supports the philosophy that the benefits of our group should be open to everyone in our community. We’re aware that some people may find it difficult to commit to an annual one-off payment of £24. We offer a reduced membership fee of £12 for those in receipt of means-tested benefits (not tax credits). Feel free to contact us for further details or advice about this.
I confirm that I will pay my membership fee by bank transfer I confirm that I will pay my membership fee by cheque I am signing up for a one month trial I am in receipt of means tested benefits (not including Working Tax Credit) and wish to pay the concessionary rate of £12
Please make sure your veg box payment gets to us by the 1st of the month. For regular orders we encourage you to pay by standing order if possible. Standing orders make payment easy and enable us to plan ahead. Please use this option if you can!
I confirm that I will pay for my veg boxes by standing order I confirm that I will pay for my veg boxes by cheque
To set up a standing order, please let your bank know the details below. This can usually be done over the phone or on-line or you can write to your bank if you prefer.
Please use your name as a reference so that your payment can be spotted on our bank statements.
Please send cheques to the address at the bottom of this page. If you are not the account holder, please print your name and address on the back.
We understand that some people get paid on an irregular basis and that setting up a regular standing order just may not be possible, if you would like to join the scheme but cannot set up a standing order please contact us by email or phone us (01208 812685) to discuss alternative payment methods.
The Box Scheme is part of the government's Healthy Start scheme which means that if you are in receipt of Healthy Start vouchers, these can be used towards the cost of your produce order with us. Please get in touch with us by email or phone (01208 812685) if you want to use this option to help pay for your order with us.
When we set the prices for the bags (which are worked out annually and averaged out over each month) we assume that everyone on the box scheme will go on holiday for 4 weeks each year; and our prices reflect this. If we didn't do this, prices would be higher.
If you go away for just 4 weeks a year, then you will not have paid for produce that you are not receiving. If you go for away for longer than 4 weeks, and you let us know in advance, we can refund you for each week over the standard 4 weeks that you do not want your bags.
Please let us know whenever you go away - by the Monday of the week preceding your holiday - so we don't waste produce. We are not able to accept any later cancelations. Or, if you wish, you may arrange for a friend or neighbour to collect your bags while you're away and try the box scheme for themselves. If you do this, you don't need to let us know.
Click the box to indicate that you have read understood and accept the holiday policy and will let us know by the Monday before you go away.
