Eat like a farmer for 23 weeks!

This share does not include a work-exchange commitment. If working on the farm in exchange for a lower share price sounds interesting to you, please check out our "Whole Workshare" membership.

What is included:

Whole-size share includes 10 units per pickup (an average of 10 - 20 pounds of food) harvested for you.

This share also includes Pick Your Own, in which CSA members get to pick specific smaller items (flowers, berries, cherry tomatoes, herbs, etc.) directly from our fields over the course of the season in addition to the units in their weekly share. We recommend this share size for households of 2 veggie lovers or 3+ individuals in the household.

Choose your pick up day:

At check out, you'll select the pick up day that works best for you on Tuesdays from 2:30-6:00 or Saturdays from 9-12. Know you'll miss pick up? You can "Switch your pick-up day" with a form provided in the weekly newsletter up to 3 times per season OR you can send a friend or family member to pick up on your behalf as many times as you need OR you can skip picking up altogether and it will be donated to a community member in need through our Foodshare program!

Cost: 

If your income is a barrier for you to pay the market value price, we offer Sliding Scale pricing up to a 20% discount. If you can afford to join at a higher level to support those with limited means, we invite you to donate more at checkout to help balance the scales. Please note that we have a limited number of discounted shares and choose accordingly. Reach out to hellocsa@farmproject.org to see if a sliding scale discount code is still available.
