CSA Farm Share

We now offer two CSAs during the growing season!

Being a CSA member means more than just getting fresh local vegetables each week. It means supporting your local farmer at the beginning of each season, so they can buy seeds and equipment for the next season. Each week will include a farm newsletter updating members on what is happening on the farm and what they can expect in their share that week along with suggested recipes.

12 Week Main Share

Each weeks’ share will be packed with 7-10 types of produce depending on the season. Each season looks a little like the following plus more! June is full of greens, spinach, fresh peas, lettuce, salad turnips, fingerling potatoes and radishes. July brings heirloom tomatoes, san marzano plum tomatoes, eggplant, hot peppers, sweet peppers, squash blossoms, fresh onions, cherry tomatoes, edamame, garlic, cucumbers, summer squash/zucchini and lettuce. September’s harvest is ginger, turmeric, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, potatoes, onions, greens, garlic and herbs.

4 Week Winter Share

Similar to the Main Season Share the Winter Share will include 5-7 types of produce each week. 2 Pick ups in November and 2 pick-ups in December. The Winter share will more of a bulk style pick up. For example you will find in one pick-up, 1lb greens, Cabbage, 1lb of beets, 4lbs, potatoes, 4lbs of onions, 4lbs carrots. Storage tips will be included in the Newsletter so make sure to sign up!

The pick up before Thanksgiving and Christmas will include other local treats like mushrooms and cranberries for the holiday.

2024 CSA

When purchasing our CSA you are agreeing to commit to the full 12 week or 4 week season. Members understand that vegetable farming is dynamic and weather related. We will do everything in our control to have a beautiful and bountiful season, but sometimes crop failures happen and variety could be limited.

FAQs

  • CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. This model helps support local farmers in the beginning of the season after having a slow winter. This helps the farmer buy seeds and make any equipment repairs or purchases each season. CSA members commit to supporting their local farmer and in return share the bounty that the farm grows.

  • Our CSA is geared to the home chef who loves cooking with specialty produce like ginger, turmeric, heirloom tomatoes, edamame, fingerling potatoes, edible flowers, arugula, baby greens, little gem lettuce, artichokes and more! We also grow staple veggies like lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, eggplant and carrots. We are growing for nutrients and flavor so we are always experimenting with the varieties that we grow.

  • Our Half Share is designed to feed 1-2 adults per week.

    A Full share is designed to feed 2-4 adults per week for the average household.

    Of course this can vary depending on your veggie consumption per household.

  • We currently offer two pick-up locations:

  • If you know you will not be able to pick up, please forward your share to a family member or friend to pick up for you. If you accidentally miss a week your share will be donated and unfortunately you will not be able to make up that week.

  • Please reach out if this is something you would like to do. We are happy work with individuals to make a plan that works best for them.

  • We have been approved to accept SNAP at the Farmers Markets we attend!!

  • Unfortunately, no. I am incredibly lucky to lease land from the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project. They offer amazing classes, trainings, have a food hub and offer programs like the farm incubator program I am in. Follow them for open farm tour dates, hosted throughout the summer!
