Membership Contributes

How your CSA contribution helps our community.

Your membership helps us: put over 250,000 pounds of nutritious organic produce on local plates, employ ~ 30 local people, donate thousands of pounds of veggies to local food pantries, train future farmers, give college & school students tours, and host a variety of classes.

We’re certified organic.

We go through a lot of extra steps to keep our organic certification each year. Why? Because we’re raising two young boys, and we care about what they eat.

SSSHHHH….Don’t tell anyone, but here’s the secret to our great-tasting vegetables… we focus on building our soil. We take our role as “steward of the land” VERY seriously. When you join our farm, you’ll know exactly where your food comes from and that it’s grown with the highest standards.

No shortcuts.

We'll help you get through the box!

How does payment work for the CSA?

CSA shares are paid in full BEFORE the season begins as a way to help the farmer with his upfront capital needs in the early part of the year. We ask you to pay 50% of your total balance as a deposit within 2 weeks of sign-up. The balance is due by June 1, 2023. We also ask that CSA shares are paid for via check or bank check to help us avoid hefty fees. But don’t worry! You can use your credit card during the main season when you shop week to week in our online store.

Common Questions About The CSA Membership

CAN I SWITCH MY PICK UP SITE?

YES. If you’re going to do this a lot, that’s hard for our system to handle. But if it only happens every now and then, we can accommodate it. You just need to let us know 2 days before.

DO YOU CREDIT MY ACCOUNT IF I MISS MY BOX?

No, sorry. Harvesting and packing your box translates to an investment on our part. We pay our crew to harvest and pack them, PLUS there’s the cost of the vegetables themselves. So we can’t replace the box a second time.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I FORGET TO PICK UP MY ORDER?

If you are able to reach us via text prior to the site closing, we can hold your products and take them back to our farm, where we will hold them for 48 hours or bring them to the next pickup site.

If you fail to contact us before we close the site, your order will be donated.
