About our CSA Program
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a mutually beneficial partnership between a local farm and a community that desires fresher, healthier, locally grown produce. Before the harvest season begins each CSA member purchases a produce share. As a shareholder in the farm, a CSA member receives a weekly box of the highest quality produce. By obtaining food from local farmers members are directly supporting small family farms in their community as well as receiving the freshest available produce. Payment is required before the season begins to provide a stable financial base for the farm. This allows the farmer to purchase seeds, hire labor, and get the season started without having to take out high-interest loans.
Here’s an example of what might be in your VegBox (by season):
Spring: Arugula, Lettuce Mix, Radishes, Swiss Chard, Beets, Spinach
Summer: Heirloom Tomatoes, Basil, Corn, Green Beans, Eggplant, Cucumbers, Zucchini, Carrots
Fall: Broccoli, Fennel, Sweet Potatoes, Kale, Winter Squash, Celeriac, Parsnips
Note: Depending on weather conditions and other factors involved in the growing season, not all items may be available.
Shares sizes:
The VegBox is designed to feed 2 omnivores (folks who eat both plants and animals as their primary food source) the majority of their weekly vegetable needs. This size share usually includes 5-7 items each week.
The Large VegBox is designed to feed a family of 4 omnivores the majority of their weekly vegetable needs. This size share usually includes 8-10 items each week.
If you have a large family or are eating a primarily vegetarian diet, you might consider ordering more than one share.
If you have a household of 1 omnivore, you may want to consider splitting your share with a friend or neighbor.
