fresh is best
Get the freshest produce straight from the farm for 18 weeks with the option to fully customize your share.
CSA is the little engine at the heart of our farm. Our CSA members get the best of what our fields have to give.
Our CSA is free-choice: you have the ability to customize your share every week based on what is available from the harvest. Which means more of what your family will use and less of what you won’t.

2025 CSA Registration
NEW in 2025, we are offering an 18-week share beginning early June (or late May if the growing is good!) that will run until mid-October. Members pick up 18 weeks out of a 22 week distro schedule.
Members will have 2 built in ‘skip’ weeks that allow for any 2 weeks of your choosing off from the share - that way you never miss the produce you pay for! The farm will also take 2 weeks off from distro, so there will be 2 weeks throughout the season with NO distribution at any location. These dates will be determined this winter & shared out soon.
What is Community Supported Agriculture?
CSA is a mutualistic model meant to support both grower + eater. The CSA is a commitment to support the farm over the growing season: it provides both much needed financial support early in the year and consistent, weekly availability of the freshest produce available. Due to the nature of CSA, members receive a higher value for their dollars spent than at a grocery store — meaning more veggies + higher quality!
How does the CSA work?
CSAs are distributed once per week beginning in early June (or late May if the growing is good!). We harvest each item fresh, based on when it’s at peak for flavor and quality. When you sign up, you will have the choice of several pick-up locations and their corresponding time frames. Each week, you will choose your produce based on the item count that corresponds with your share size from our market-style set up.
