CSA


CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Essentially it means that you join into a partnership with a local farm. You pay a flat fee at the beginning of the season, thereby giving us much needed start-up funds.

In return you get a weekly share of fresh, seasonal, and safely grown local produce. You may also get a few salad dressings, krauts, pestos, ketchups, and dried herbs.

Most CSAs offer only 20 weeks of delivery. We offer 22-26 weeks, and we also offer half shares.
For those local to the farm, we have:


• 1/2 share -- $350
 Enough for one omnivore or a very thin vegetarian.  $18.00 per week for 22 weeks.

• 1 regular share -- $600
Enough vegetable love for 2 omnivores or 1 vegetarian. $27.50 per week for 22 weeks.

• 1 large share --$1100
Enough organic joy for 4 omnivores or 2 vegetarians. $50.00 per week for 22 weeks.
