Squashington has a great variety of vegetables, including ones you likely won't see in other CSAs or farmers' market stands (purple daikon and dragon snap beans were two that stood out last year)! Sarah and Pat are great farmers and good people, they are generous to their CSA members and seek to support the local community.
Beyond their vegetables in the past they've offered eggs, the occasional chicken, and partnered with other farmers for apple/ciders shares.

Squashington Farm (Sarah Leong and Pat Hager) have been our CSA providers for several years. The quality of the food and flowers (bouquets of flowers are available at pickup) they produce is fantastic *and* they generously and cheerfully partner with other farmers and artists to provide add-ons, such as canned goods, meat, cards and stickers, and bread.
Pat and Sarah care for the land and their CSA members and are a delight to interact with. When I have met their employees, it's clear that they enjoy working with Pat and Sarah.
If you are looking to join a CSA or for a farm job, I would highly recommend Squashington Farm without reservations!

We agree wholeheartedly with the other reviews posted here. If you're looking for a CSA, look no further. Pat and Sarah are not only amazing farmers, they are amazing people, and we feel so lucky to have been CSA members there for the last few years. They've not only created a farm with delicious produce, but also a true community with their shareholders. The whole family looks forward to our weekly pick-ups, and our kids are always excited and welcomed at the farm.
As others have mentioned, we also greatly appreciate the market-style CSA option. We tried a couple of other CSAs in the past, and they always came with the guilt of veggies dying a slow fridge death. With the ability to choose the veggie types and quantities that make sense for us, Squashington's market model has eliminated that problem and made the our CSA experience a full positive:). They also partner with Atoms to Apples for an organic fruit share in later summer/fall that is excellent.

Have been a CSA member for years and most recently with Squashington. I like being able to pick the produce that my family prefers. Sarah and Patrick are really knowledgeable and their produce is beautiful!

We first met Pat and Sarah at the Mount Horeb Farmer's Market quite a few years ago and finally took the plunge to become CSA members! I'm not sure what took us so long because instantly we could see their dedication to their farm, the land, their customers and this beautiful community we live in. Squashington is caring and compassionate and we are so grateful to be apart of their community of "Squashies". If you're looking for a CSA to join, look no further!

One of the first things I did when we moved to our new town was find a CSA and I feel so fortunate I found Sarah and Pat at Squashington. This will be my sixth season with their farm. I have done summer and fall shares, market punch cards and I helped on the farm one season and it has all been wonderful.
What sets their CSA apart from the rest is the quality, quantity, and variety of vegetables you get in your share each week. There are vegetables my family and I tried for the first time because of their CSA! Another great thing about their CSA is they offer eggs, meat, fruit, salsa and gorgeous flower bouquets at their farm pick-up. As a gardener, I appreciate the market style CSA so I can choose produce each week that I don't grow myself.
Squashington adds such value to their community by growing amazing produce, providing food to local restaurants, supporting other local famers and producers, and donating food to people in need.
You will be happy you found Squashington too!

I love Squashington Farm. My first year with them, I did a worker share where I came to appreciate how hard they work to grow amazing, delicious, gorgeous food. This year I've done a personal sized market share. I like to pick my favorites and it's just the right amount to supplement what I grow for myself and to feed my tiny household of 2 people. I can't say enough good things about Squashington, Sarah and Pat!

We have been members of various CSAs in different communities for the past 20 years. Squashington is among the very best! We appreciate the Market Style option so much, especially with multiple food allergies, sensitivities and preferences in our family. We always get just what we want and never end up wasting anything. Sarah and Pat offer a huge variety of veggies, including several more obscure things that you will not find at most farmers market stalls. Each week they send out great suggestions for creating recipes with the bounty of the season. Perfect for less experienced cooks. Their shares are always generous and the quality excellent. And, it is a real bonus to be able to take advantage of add-on purchases like local organic apples, eggs, and meat.
We have so enjoyed developing a relationship with Sarah and Pat; they are lovely, energetic and enthusiastic people and such fine stewards of the Earth! It is no wonder that their farm is growing the way it is.

We've belonged to a number of CSAs over the years and none -- absolutely none -- have come close to Squashington. The various share options, the incredible pricing, the add-ons (we look forward to our Atoms to Apples share every fall), the variety of vegetables, the ability to visit the farm anytime (our small children love this), even the adaptations for pandemic conditions is all outstanding.
Plus, Sarah and Pat are deeply good people. It's a privilege and a blessing to not only know where our food comes from but know the people who grow it. When we go to the farm or the market and they greet us by name, when I can email them and ask them if they have something we want or need (more collards! more fennel!), I feel grateful for that kind of relationship. They work so hard and put so much love into what they do, and that energy trickles down into every aspect of Squashington -- from the taste of the food to the process by which it all happens.
You're not going to find a better CSA.
