Do you cook less than half the week, want to introduce more vegetables into your diet or would need to travel far to get to the farm? We recommend one of the 10-Week Bi-Weekly Half Shares

Do you cook a lot and eat vegetables most days, want to try new varieties of vegetables and live or work close to the farm? We recommend the 20-Week Whole Share

Choose one of the two options:

Wednesdays from 3-6pm

Saturdays from 9am-12pm

Arrive anytime between the designated time. CSA pick-up is located in the Lower Barn of our 1910 Century Barn. Signs will designate parking and the pick-up location.

Market Style allows the CSA shareholder to select their own produce from our available harvest. All produce is harvested for you (exclusive of pick-your-own) and displayed in wooden boxes for you to select. If you are allergic or do not like certain vegetables, this option allows you to substitute some vegetables.

Pre-Packed allows the CSA shareholder who is short on time to simply select a pre-packed bag of available produce selected by our farmers. Pick-your-own items are bonus items and are not harvested by the farmers. Pick-your-own areas are open during business hours weekdays and on Saturday during the designated pick-up time.

Absolutely! We have many types of volunteer opportunities on the farm ranging in mildly physical to highly physical. We also love to talk about our farming methods and share our work with those interested in the local food economy. Check out our volunteer page for sign-up info.
