Community Supported Agriculture:

We like CSAs because you support us before the growing season and then we can better serve you. This up front payment eases the financial strain for the farm after the doldrums of winter, and affords us improved planning and accounting for the year ahead. In return we are able to showcase our diversity with fruit, veggies, herbs, grains, flowers & prepared goods on a weekly basis at a discounted rate. Each share will be flexible choice in which the customer has a high degree of freedom with what items they can take to fill up their share. Other benefits include:

  • Additional $100 value in U-Pick flowers and herbs

  • Farm Tours + newsletters

  • Optional U-pick for certain fruits & veggies

  • Add-ons (kitchen items, medicinals, grains, flowers… etc.)

How it Works

  • Pick-ups are Wednesday 4-7. Items will be in a farmer’s market arrangement with instructions for the specific week.

  • Bring your own vessel to put your share in. No pets outside the car please.

  • Need to miss a week? The CSA runs 21 weeks with each member getting 20 weeks of food, meaning each member gets 1 week without a share. If you need to miss more weeks maybe think of having a friend pick up for you.

  • Pick up at a different time? While not encouraged we allow 5 shares each week to be packed by us and gathered another day.

  • There will be an optional pick your own flowers and/or herbs for an additional value of $100 included in the share.

  • The weekly value in each share is meant to be an average. Some weeks early on there will be less, which will mean more of the later season bounty.

  • Farm tours in June and September

  • Accessibility: We accept Snap/EBT. We can offer a few work exchange CSA shares for those confident in their ability to perform farm field tasks. We ask for a few week trial period before committing.

  • Add-ons: by selecting add-ons you can further customize this subscription and ensure you receive some products we have limited quantities of.

  • Correspondence: Expect more details as the season approaches and weekly emails about the share.

Cross Pollination

We hope for a lot of cross pollination, community and connection with our members during pick up times and pick your own hours. We aim to have staff available during these times for questions, comments and chatting. It is such a gift to steward this land and we are excited to share the experience with you.
