Our online stores feature all local food and products like grains, meats, pantry and body care items, in addition to weekly add-on options for fruits, veggies, mushrooms, cheese, bread & more.
We feel confident that if you want to be in a CSA, this is the best one. super-fresh produce, competitive prices, excellent variety, multiple share types, knowledgeable and committed staff, vacation holds, delivery options, recipes & prep tips, all delivered with over a quarter-century of evolution & experience. We are passionate about what we do, and we would love to have you join us*.
Our CSA has monthly shares in February, March, April and May. We offer organic plant starts in May, then our regular season runs from early June to late October with an additional Turkey order and Thanksgiving Share in November and a season closing December Share.
Traditionally we offer organic vegetable, IPM fruit, local cheese, pantry items, cultivated mushrooms, organic flowers, pasta, pastured eggs and locally baked bread shares in the regular summer season. Bulk purchases for putting up/freezing are also available.
