What is Community Supported Agriculture? (CSA)Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a mutually supportive relationship between farmer and family, where the Farm and your family invest in and commit to each other. Think of CSA as a food subscription: you pre-purchase a “share” of the harvest for the season and then pick up your food each week. We have shares of vegetables, eggs, flowers, milk and chicken in 2017.

You Pay the Farm → Farmers Then Grow Food → You Pick Up Fresh Veggies Each Week → See Your Neighbors and Farmers, Know Who Grows Your Food

Joining the Farm’s CSA helps us plan our production and provides us cash flow early in the season – literal “seed money” to pay for the months of production that are required before a single vegetable is ready to harvest. In return, we grow food for you and commit our first and freshest vegetables, eggs and chicken. We share recipes and cooking ideas, news from the Farm and access to cooking classes and demonstrations.

Knowing our produce is sold, we farmers can spend our summer months cultivating our crops rather than marketing our products. We also deeply appreciate knowing that you trust us to grow food for you. Our favorite part of CSA: once the season begins, there is no more exchange of money, just food and greetings each week.
