WHAT IS A CSA?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Some people call it a “Farm Share”. Some people call it a weekly veggie box. Whatever you call it, its good stuff!!

You pay up front then receive products at a consistent, established time and I have several options for you. Joining my CSA is mutually beneficial for us both; it guarantees me an outlet for my products and in exchange members get fresh, local, seasonal produce.  CSA builds relationships by connecting people to their food and their farmer.  When you join our CSA, you gain the ability to walk through the fields of crops and see your food being grown, the farm practices being used and you get to know your farmers on a first name basis.  (you can go to the Farm Tours and Events page to learn more about visiting the farm or click here)

WHAT WILL I GET FOR MY MONEY?

Each week, from May to October (21 weeks) you’ll get the very best our farm has to offer.  We provide a basket (or box) of fresh, in-season produce including vegetable staples like beans, tomatoes, salad greens and peppers to specialty items like blueberries, flowers, herbs and figs.  You will also receive a value added product (jam, jelly, baked goods, pickles, etc.) but more than just the wonderful selection of fresh produce and farm products, you'll get the farm experience!  Not only can members see how their food is being grown, they can participate in the planting, weeding and harvest.  You are encouraged to bring your children and grandchildren to the farm so they learn about how food is grown.  Members will receive newsletters and recipes and they will also be able to participate in farm events and the end-of-season Harvest Dinner. 

Let’s break it down a little - The 21 week season is divided into 3 portions. The Spring portion will run from May 17 to June 28 (7 weeks) and during that time you can expect things like lettuce, radishes, green onions and broccoli (along with other things) in your box each week. The Summer portion will run from July 5 to August 16 (7 weeks) and during that time you can expect things like tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash and sweet corn (along with other things) in your box. The fall portion will run from August 23 to October 4 (7 weeks) and during that time you can expect things like green beans, butternut squash, kale and pumpkins. Feel like maybe a big box of veggies every week is too much for you? I have several members that share their box with family and friends so just let me know and we can work something out!!

 WHAT DOES THE CSA COST?

A farm share will run for 21 weeks and costs $500.00.  That works out to be an average of $23.81 but the weekly value will be around $25 and in weeks of abundance the weekly value will be well over $30!
