CSA: Oatka Creek Farm

Our CSA program is perfect for those who want to participate in a local CSA program but need a little more flexibility and convenience.

We offer a free-choice CSA program: this means that you will be able to select your own produce each week from what we have available - in any amount and whichever crops and varieties are your favorite. Don’t like radishes? You never have to get them. Want to stock up one week for a summer party? You won’t be limited to a certain number of items.

If you travel or miss a week during the season you do not miss out on your CSA share. We offer several pick up options and are often able to accommodate special requests throughout the season for our CSA members.

HOW IT WORKS

We utilize a CSA member card system, you can think of it as your farm debit card. Once you have purchased a CSA Share with us and paid in full, we will give you your CSA member card at your first pickup. We offer a full share and a half share CSA card option.

Full Share $500 - receive a CSA member card with $500 in farm credit to spend throughout the season

Half Share $250 - receive a CSA member card with $250 in farm credit to spend throughout the season

Sign up and pay before January 15th, 2026: Receive an additional 10% loaded onto your CSA Card ($550 Full Share / $275 Half Share).

Sign up and pay before April 1st, 2026: Receive an additional 5% loaded onto your CSA Card ($525 Full Share / $262.50 Half Share).

Your CSA card balance is good through the end of the season, which is usually mid November or so depending on weather. If you use up your CSA Card balance, you are welcome to reload your card and/or continue purchasing produce using cash, debit/credit card, Venmo, SNAP/EBT with NY Double UP, Farmers Market Nutrition Coupons, etc.

PICKUP OPTIONS

Just bring your CSA Card with you (or whoever you’d like to share your card with) and use that card at checkout to pay for items you select. Additional details, hours, location etc. about each of the above pickup options can be found on our “Find Our Produce” page. Each week during the May - November season we send out a short weekly update via email letting folks know what crops we are harvesting.

*For those interested in a traditional box style CSA with a pre-selected assortment of produce, our Tuesday Seasonal Farm Boxes provide the option to receive a farmer curated box of seasonal produce. Simply sign up for a seasonal farm box on any given week you would like one and use your CSA card at pickup.

THANK YOU

Even though we have evolved from a traditional CSA program, we still refer to our program as a CSA because we rely on the support of our community that values our small family farm. Your CSA membership helps us to purchase seed and supplies at the beginning of the year, a critical time that determines the success of a season. Our CSA members share the risk and reward of the farming season with us and are truly partners of the farm.

Our crop list for this year includes: Basil, Dill, Beets, Bush Beans, Cabbage, Carrots, Celery, Cucumber(Slicing & Pickling), Eggplant, Fennel, Garlic, Green Onions, Head Lettuce(Romaine, Butterhead, Green & Red Leaf), Kale, Round Radish, Salad Mix, Onions, Peppers(Sweet, Bell & Hot), Potatoes, Tomatoes(San Marzano saucers, assorted Heirlooms, Slicers & Cherry), Snap Peas, Spinach, Summer Squash & Zucchini, Swiss Chard, Collards, & Winter Squash(Butternut, Acorn, Delicata, Honeynut).

These crops come in at different times of course throughout the season. We often start with a lot of greens and early roots, peas etc. and then get into the main season crops that enjoy the heat and then back into more greens in the fall in addition to fall root crops as the weather cools down again. Some crops do better than others on any given year.
