What is a CSA and Why join one?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, a program designed to connect local farms with the people who eat their food. By joining a CSA, you invest in a share of the farm’s harvest before the growing season begins, helping farmers get started in spring and grow better, more abundant crops.

In return, members receive fresh, seasonal produce throughout the season, picked at peak ripeness for maximum flavor and nutrition.

Supporting a CSA also means you’re buying local. The average food in the U.S. travels about 1,300 miles from farm to table. By eating locally grown food, your produce is fresher, naturally ripened, and packed with more nutrients than items shipped long distances.

What to Expect from Our CSA:

Our Spring/Summer CSA runs for 14 weeks, from early June through the end of August. Members pick up their share each week using our farmers market–style setup, where you’ll be able to choose from that week’s harvest.

We aim to offer a variety of at least five vegetables at each pickup, allowing you to build a share that fits what you and your family enjoy cooking and eating. Throughout the season, members can expect a rotating selection of fresh, naturally grown vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, kale, bok choy, cabbage, snap peas, beans, radishes, salad turnips, tomatoes, peppers, and more, depending on what is ready in the field.

We carefully plan our crops each season to provide a wide variety of fresh produce for our CSA members. Each weekly share includes a rotating assortment of seasonal vegetables.

Spring: mostly leafy greens such as lettuce, arugula, and cabbage, along with root crops like radishes, turnips, and carrots.

Summer: tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, occasional root vegetables, leafy greens, and other seasonal favorites.

What a Typical CSA Week Might Look Like

Each week’s harvest changes depending on what is growing best in the fields, but here’s an example of what might be available during a mid-season pickup:

• Head lettuce
• Kale or spinach
• Snap peas or green beans
• Radishes or salad turnips
• Tomatoes or peppers

Members select their vegetables farmers market–style and choose quantities based on their share size.

Share Sizes

Individual Share – ideal for one person or anyone who wants a smaller weekly supply.

Standard Share – a good fit for 2–3 people per week.

Family Share – feeds approximately 4–5 people per week.

Pick-Up Details

• Pick up your share weekly on an arranged day at the farm or Farmers Market.
• Shares are picked up farmers market–style, where you choose your vegetables and quantities based on your share size.

Joining a CSA is a great way to enjoy locally grown, seasonal food while supporting your community farm and staying connected to where your food comes from.
