AGRICULTURE
Access to locally grown, fresh vegetables, fruits & herbs every week throughout the season.
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 15 week period.
Your CSA Share will be available for you to pick up at the site of your choice. We have over 25 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, you will get email notifications as the season approaches. Then when the harvest season starts, you'll be picking up your box of freshly harvested produce every week! Think of it as a subscription to our Farm.
We also offer add-on shares like our Fall Harvest Share, Apple Share & our Honey Shares for example. Those are delivered alongside your CSA Share later in the season

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! Every week all summer long, we'll be harvesting a different variety of produce so your boxes will change as the season progresses. Through the leafy greens of the spring to the sweet mid-summer favorites and the hearty fall crops, you'll see a huge variety of produce throughout the season!!​​
​
We grow the staple produce varieties, but we also throw in a handful of lesser-known varieties. We want to provide fresh veggies, fruits and herbs that you want to use every week, while also giving you a little bit of a challenge every once in a while.
​
We grow multiple plantings of the more popular varieties so we can provide them with more frequency. We've been fine tuning our planting schedule for years; taking pride in providing the most complete variety of produce throughout the season while emphasizing in the produce that our members really want.
​
Join us this season to get a thorough understanding of what it means to eat seasonally. We have got a lot to offer and we are excited to share it with you!
