Community Supported Agriculture engages farmers and community members in a mutually beneficial relationship, providing financial resources and security to the farmer, and nourishing food and relationships to the member. At the beginning of the growing season, individuals and families pay in advance for a share of the farm’s produce for the season. To arrive at the cost, we multiply the average value of the weekly share by the number of weeks in the season. Each week, members pick up their CSA basket at a designated time and location.

Small family farms like ours not only survive, but thrive because of the CSA community. This has been our experience for the past ten years of having a CSA.  Because of this support, we are able to do a better job of taking care of the land, and purchasing essentials like seeds, fixing equipment, and paying our employees, to name a few examples.  Farming entails lots of risk because of weather, disease, pests, changes in market conditions, and more. When you buy into our farm for a season, you help us mitigate some of these risks and become an integral partner in our farm community

CSA gives members access to truly nourishing food: organically and locally grown, nutritious, delicious, and fresh. What’s more, CSA directly connects you with your farmer, with the land, and with a community full of neighbors who value vibrant and thriving small family farms. A CSA pick up is a great place to make friends and to learn new recipes. Finally, CSA is a great opportunity to financially support and put into practice some of the causes that you care about: stewardship of the land and the life it supports, a healthy local food economy, and the success of small farmers.

You can easily “pause” your deliveries when you are away, and you can resume deliveries when you return. You can reschedule the missed share for a different week, or delivery day using your Harvie profile.

We always recommend starting with a SMALL share and moving to a larger size if you find you need more produce. It is also easy to purchase additional items to be included with your share each week. The advantage of getting a larger share is more of your favorite items are initially included when your share is planned for the week, giving you first dibs on the produce you enjoy most.

You are welcome on our farm. We love this place and enjoy sharing it with our community. We believe that seeing the farm can deepen the connection you have with your food. In 2021, we are planning several rain or shine events where you can come to the farm, get your hands dirty harvesting some veggies, and take home even more of the harvest!
