What is CSA?
CSA Stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is an alternative to the conventional food system, designed to support local farms and farmers, and connect communities to their food. When you become a member of our CSA, you pay for a share of our farm’s harvest ahead of the growing season, agreeing to share in the rewards and risks of sustainable farming. This provides us with the funds that we need when we need them and allows us to focus on growing the highest quality produce in a way that is beneficial to the environment.
Why CSA?
You get a share of the harvest each week, taking home a variety of super fresh, clean, organically grown produce that has been selected for flavor and nutrition. Your membership supports a community based, environmentally regenerative food-system, free of long distance trucking, packaging, and chemical inputs. Weekly pick-ups provide an opportunity to enjoy nature on our farm and get to know your farmers and neighbors. You can take a walk, pick a bouquet of flowers, and be connected to where and how your food is grown. By becoming a member of our CSA, you truly become a part of this farm. We look forward to growing with you and are excited for 2020!
How Does It work?
Free Choice CSA
We offer a Free Choice CSA model, in which members choose what they take home each week using a simple point system. A Full Share member has 10 points per week to use and a Half Share member has 10 points every other week or 5 points every week. A point may be a big bunch of kale, a few pounds of tomatoes, a bunch of radishes, or a head of Chinese cabbage. This way, you can take what you want and what you are most likely to eat. Want to make a batch of your famous pickles this week? Use your points to get more cucumbers! Tired of kale? Get extra lettuce instead! You will have 9-16 items to choose from every week. In addition to share points, all shares include Pick Your Own flowers as well as snow and snap peas, beans, and cherry tomatoes. Click here for a list of what we're growing. Occasionally we will limit the amount of a certain item based on availability.
In addition to our veggie shares and PYO crops, we offer some add-ons from other local, sustainable businesses and some value-added goods from the farm and local purveyors such as salves, teas, and ferments.

How much does it cost?
Full Share (10 points): $700 for 23 weeks, or about $30/week.
This share size is great if you are an individual or couple who cooks at home a lot and eats a lot of vegetables, or for a family. It's also a good choice if you like to do home preservation projects like canning or fermenting or if you like to entertain!
Half Share (10 points every other week/5 points every week): $400, or about $17/week
Don’t eat that many veggies? Only want to pick up every other week? A Half-share may be right for you. If you sign up for the Half Share, you can pick up a full share every other week, or a half-share every week.
Additional Points: $70/point
You can add up to 3 extra points to your Half or Full Share to tailor it to be just right for you.
