2024 CSA

Community Share Agriculture – Our full share baskets ready to go!

OUR 2024 CSA IS FULL

We are excited to announce the details of our 2024 CSA. If you have been considering joining a CSA program, it is a wonderful way to connect you and your family directly to your food source. A weekly trip to our farm to pick up your freshly picked veggies is what you will experience when joining our CSA. The vegetables grown on our farm are USDA certified organic.

We are busy planning for our 2024 growing season. Below you will find all the details for our upcoming CSA season. If you have any questions please feel free to email us at [email protected].

If you have signed up for our CSA, we email you in June with exact instructions and more details on your share. Your cancelled check will be your receipt but if you need further confirmation, you can always email us.

We look forward to seeing you all this spring. Thanks again for your continued support and best wishes to you all for a happy healthy 2024!

CSA SIGN UP DETAILS

What To Expect In Your Weekly Basket

Every week you will come to the farm to pick up an array of freshly picked veggies. The vegetables will be picked by us the day of your pick up and will vary each week depending on what is ready to harvest. You can expect as many as 6-10 varieties of vegetables each week. Along with your basket we also offer a “choice” table most weeks. You will be able to choose a designated number of items off this table allowing you to customize your basket to suit your specific needs.

Share Size and Cost

THE 2024 CSA IS FULL.

FULL SHARE – $580.00
HALF SHARE – $450.00

Half shares are actually about a 3/4 share. They are not 1/2 of a full share, its just easier to call them that. We recommend a full share for a family of 4 and a half share for a family of 2 or if you have small children. The value of your share will fluctuate throughout the season but you will always get more than you pay for by the end of the season.

Available Share Add-Ons

Butcher’s Best Meats
Uncle Matt’s Bakery breads
