COMMUNITY SUPPORTED
AGRICULTURE
Access to locally grown, fresh vegetables, fruits & herbs every week throughout the season.
WHAT IS CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a relationship where consumers purchase a “Share” of our harvest and receive a box full of produce all season long. Our CSA Shares provide value to our members because of the quality and quantities of the wide diversity of fruits, vegetables, & herbs that we grow. The CSA Share model benefits the farmers by providing a rewarding livelihood; while supporting a growing network of small, diverse family farms.
Our farm is specialized. 95% of the produce we harvest on our farm is grown specifically for our CSA Share Members. As a result, our entire farm operation is naturally geared towards our CSA Shares. Offering a diverse range of fresh produce that's harvested at peak ripeness, the same day it ends up in your own kitchen!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We are gardening for you! We start seeds in the greenhouse in March, nurturing the plants until we can transplant them into the fields in May & June. The plants establish themselves, they'll be taking root & growing like crazy in the early summer! Harvest starts mid-late June and continues until early October, your CSA Share will come weekly throughout that 16 week period.
Your CSA Share will be available for pick up at the site of your choice. We have over 20 CSA sites to choose from!
We are happy to grow, harvest, and deliver your fresh produce with care each week. Once you sign up and pay for your CSA Share, your only responsibility is to pick up your veggies throughout the summer and enjoy your veggies ;)
We also offer add-on shares like our Fall Harvest Share, or our Honey Packages for example. Those are delivered alongside your CSA Share later in the season.

Communication is important. Especially when it comes to your food!
Every CSA Member receives this handbook. It's a six page PDF document with all the details of our season! Look at the title page shown here to see the list of topics we cover.
CSA Share success is where preparation and opportunity meet!
We are looking forward to a big season together!
WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
We start all of our plants in the greenhouse, and then transplant them into the fields where they will flourish in the natural soils! As you know, every week of the CSA is different. Each week you receive a variety of the produce that's being harvested that week on our farm. That means that you'll see a LOT of different varieties, and with the farm to table storage guide I made for you- it'll be easy to learn about nutrition, storage, preservation and more!!
Here is the link to the page that explains "What we grow!", which breaks down what kind of varieties you can expect throughout the season. In the spring, the summer and fall. Another great way to look at our CSA this season is to look at the past seasons and what we've had to offer (which is available in the gallery.
