What is a CSA?
In the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model individuals purchase shares from their local farm for an entire growing season, providing a consistent income stream in a business that is full of unknowns; this model shares the risk of these unknowns between producer and consumer, in a food system that often disregards the difficult realities of running a farm. When you become a shareholder for the season, you are guaranteed a weekly box of produce, and the farmer is guaranteed the income to support their farm.The CSA model creates a closer relationship between producer and consumer, taking out the many steps from farm to table that are inherent within a traditional food system. Becoming a CSA member gives you the opportunity to intimately learn about your local food system and the process of food production, and to directly ask questions of the people that feed you.

you, we are able to make exceptions!
Financial accessibility is very
important to us, and is one of the core
values of the CSA model.
We also accept payment for the entire
season, if that is a better fit for you!
Payment will be accepted via
Venmo, Paypal, cash,
or check.

Attendance Policy
In order to create consistency for your
farmers, we expect members to
pick up every week.
If you need to pick up on a different day a
certain week, we may be able to make
accommodations. If you fail to pick up your
share, we do not not issue refunds for the
missed week.
We are willing and able to be
flexible if need be,
but also expect your support and
understanding when it comes to
our time and
ability to change our schedule!
Farming is hard work,
and plants don’t wait!
