Which items will I receive?
Your items will be based on availability and quality. We'll do our best to provide variety in every share. We'll let you know at each delivery items you can anticipate receiving the next week. For quantities and harvest times for the items you'll receive, see our produce list.
We are currently traditional CSA, where we, the farmers, determine which items you receive. In the future, we may transition to choice CSA, where you'll be able choose your items.

Become a delivery coordinator or market helper
We're always looking for people to help as delivery site coordinators or at one of our farmers' markets. Contact us if you're interested in helping out in any of these ways.
Special events at the farm
During the year we'll also offer potluck meals at the farm. We'll notify you of these events as they come up.
What is CSA – Community supported agriculture
- Customer buys directly from the farmer through membership
- Members receive weekly share of all produce grown on the farm
- All members share equally in the harvest
- You accept that share size can vary or crops can fail due to weather or other factors
- Some CSAs offer shares in exchange for labor, rather than money
At our farm
We overplant by 100% to prepare for losses. Should we ever suffer a crop loss, we'll attempt to replace it with fresh organicaly-grown produce from nearby growers. Should we ever have trouble meeting the delivery schedule or supplying the full number of share items, we'll let you know ASAP.
We're always happy to have you visit and help on the farm. This could be one visit or a more regular, scheduled commitment. If you're interested in helping out, or exchanging farm labor for a reduction in your share fee, give us a call.
