How It Works
The summer CSA season lasts 20 weeks beginning in early June and ending around the end of October. Members choose a large share (a choice of 10 “items” per week), a regular share (8 items per week) or a small share (5 items per week). You can come and choose your share each week at one of the locations provided.
Each week we’ll send out a newsletter ahead of time, letting members know what we’ll have that week. We’ll also share a recipe or two so you know what you might do with the produce you pick up. Further down on this page we have a list of what you might expect to pick up at what time of the season, but we do a good job at providing a variety of options for everyones tastes.
The Food
In June and early July you will be able to choose from head lettuce, salad mix, carrots, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, beets, scallions, kale, radishes, parsley, cilantro, dill, turnips, and more.
In late July and early August we’ll have most of what’s available in spring as well as potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, sweet and hot peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, onions and more!
As we make our way towards the fall harvest, we’ll have much of what’s available in summer and spring, as well as winter squash, brussels sprouts, leeks, winter radishes, sweet fall carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and much more!
For Example
A regular share in mid-July might look like:
a bunch of carrots, a pint of cherry tomatoes, a bunch of fresh onions, two heads of lettuce, a bag of salad mix, a few zucchinis, and a pint of shiitake mushrooms.

Perks
CSA members are also welcome to visit the farm if they want to learn more about where your food comes from. Reach out by email to ask for a farm tour!
If you end up having too few veggies each week or too many, we make it easy to change share sizes during the season, so you don’t have to worry about choosing the wrong share for your needs.
