Our CSA


Our CSA provides a small group of “members” with a hearty share of the harvest, fresh cut from the field the day before its delivery. CSA members are rewarded for their early commitment to our farm by an enduring commitment from us throughout the growing season. We’d like members to feel their vital connection to the farm, cultivating this relationship through personal contact, member gatherings, email newsletters and accessibility. And we’d like members to enjoy the natural generosities of an intensely loved farm field.


Our CSA runs 22 weeks, from the 1st week of June through the 1st week of November. The weekly deliveries of fresh picked produce are catered to meet your grocery needs. Crops are available as they come into season, i.e., spinach in the spring and fall, tomatoes in summer, pumpkins in fall, etc.
