What is a CSA Farm?Members pay the farmer at the beginning of the season for a “share” of the harvest.
Full shares cost $500-$600 a season, which works out to $22-$27 per week. Half-shares may be available.
Members receive their shares weekly.
Share content and amounts vary by the farm.
A season typically lasts 22 weeks, May-October.
