Community Supported Agriculture
How it works:
The farm grows seasonal vegetables, with some flowers, herbs, and fruit mid May through late November.
We deliver the food to a pick up location. You pick up your "share" of the week's harvest and feed yourself, family, and friends sustainably-grown, local food throughout the 28 week season. Choose Full Share for weekly pick-ups, Half Share for every other week.
You receive an e-newsletter from your farmers detailing the current week's harvest list, happenings on the farm, pictures, upcoming events, food storage tips and recipes.
As a member of the farm, you receive free admission to our harvest festivals, square dances, potluck dinners and more! You also receive discounts on bulk orders and other seasonal products.
Share Size:
Each share includes 7-10 different items per week (depending on the time of year) amounting to over half a bushel of produce.
We offer Full and Half shares.
Full Shares are picked up weekly.
Half Shares are picked up every other week.
We allow you to split the Full Share with a friend and alternate weeks instead of purchasing two Half Shares.
How much food is in one share?
Enough produce for a small family, a couple that likes to eat a lot of fresh veggies, or an individual who wants an exciting weekly challenge! Most members of our CSA have no difficulty eating through their weekly share, while others share with friends and neighbors, freeze food for the winter months, make baby food, or juice and blend their weekly veggies.
A sample share from early July may include:
Carrots - 1 bunch (1.5 lbs)
Lettuce - 1 med-large lettuce head or bag of lettuce mix
Cucumbers and/or Squash - 3-4 (or 2 lbs) - mix and match varieties
Onions, sweet - 1-2
Greens bunch - 1 lb choice of Kale, chard, collards, etc.
Tomatoes - 2-3 lbs
Garlic - 1 head
Beans or Eggplant - Heirloom, stringless snap beans or mix of eggplant

“I love the variety of food grown and the length of the CSA season. Both in a CSA year and from year to year we’ve enjoyed a great rotation of food - from leafy greens (mustard greens are the best) to legumes, to roots, squash and fruit, I can honestly say I eat better and healthier during the CSA season. The May-December time frame ensures that we’ll have great food and great value for most of the year.”
