Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a direct partnership between farmers and local consumers. Members purchase a “share,” typically at the start of the year, providing the farm with up-front support during the slow season for seeds, supplies, and labor. In return, they receive a weekly box of freshly harvested, seasonal produce—grown with organic and sustainable practices. We have chosen to expand on this CSA model by offering weekly-pay shares and season-by-season shares as well as the traditional full-year share.

This model helps us plan more efficiently, reduce waste, and prioritize sustainability, while offering members a direct connection to their farmers and the rhythms of the growing season.

CSA benefits both you and the farm! Members get early access to the freshest produce of the season, avoid sell-outs, and enjoy a curated weekly share that makes seasonal eating easy, affordable, and inspiring. It’s a great way to try new vegetables, cook more at home, and reduce trips to the store.

Beyond the produce, CSA fosters community. Members are invited to farm events like potlucks and tours, connecting you more deeply to the land, the food, and fellow members. CSA members also receive discounts on farm merchandise and ticketed events. For the farm, your up-front or consistent support brings stability, lowers food waste, reduces packaging, and helps us plan harvests with confidence—especially during busy or unpredictable times. And we love getting to know you through the season!

FLOWER SHARE – $15/week
A vibrant bouquet of fresh-cut, farm-grown flowers each week. Depending on the season, bouquets may be single-variety or mixed arrangements—always beautiful, always freshly harvested.

The contents of your veggie share will vary each week, reflecting the changing nature of the seasons. Each box offers a fresh and diverse mix of what’s at its peak, with staples like lettuce, squash, and tomatoes appearing more frequently.

In the spring, you can expect tender greens like kale, collards, arugula, and lettuce, along with root vegetables such as carrots, radishes, and turnips. We also include fun seasonal highlights like strawberries, green garlic, fennel, and endive.

As summer heats up, your share will feature favorites like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes, okra, and onions, along with some heat-tolerant greens.

When fall returns, look forward to sweet potatoes, winter squash, hearty greens, crisp roots, and tender salad mixes—perfect for cozy meals as the weather cools down.

While we can’t provide a la carte shopping for the CSA each week, we’ll often have some choices available at pickup.

For example, In the spring your share might look like: 1 pint of strawberries, 1 bunch of collards OR kale, 1 bunch of daikon OR salad radishes, 1 bag of arugula OR spring mix, 1 bunch of hakurei turnips, 1 bunch of carrots OR beets etc.

We’ll also have a swap box at the pickup site so you can exchange one item from your share for something else—perfect if there's something you know you won’t use. As we’re able, we’ll offer additional farm-fresh items like eggs and extra produce for sale during CSA pickup as well.
