2023 csa FarmShare is open for signup
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a model for farming built around the mutual commitment between farmers and eaters who share a vision for a more sustainable, just and vibrant local food system. For the farmer, a CSA establishes a community of consumers dedicated to supporting their farm for the entire season, giving the farmer the security to purchase seeds, fertilizer and hire staff at the beginning of the season. The consumer gets the first pick at what’s fresh that week, a discount on their upfront financial commitment, and a relationship with their food that extends beyond the supermarket.
how it works
Each week (starting in mid-May and going until the week before Thanksgiving), we fill your virtual CSA webstore shopping cart with a diverse selection of fresh seasonal vegetables grown at our farm. You can then login to your account to swap, add, or remove items. Minimum orders are $15/week and you can cancel your share anytime for as many weeks as you choose. Our goal is to provide you with the utmost flexibility in customizing your share to include the vegetables you love to cook and eat. We harvest the items you have selected and pack your unique box and bring it to your designated delivery location for you to pick-up.
