Fully Customizable, 31 Weeks, April 25th-Nov 25th
Each week you'll choose from the wide selection of vegetables we grow. There's something new with each season- from spring greens, herbs, and asparagus to the colorful array of summer tomatoes and peppers, and concluding with sweet fall root vegetables and winter squash.

You'll also be able to ​choose from a selection of the highest quality local fruit, milk, yogurt, eggs, cheese, sauerkraut, and more through our online CSA system. ​When you're away, you can put your box on hold and you'll only pay for the weeks you receive.

How Does Root 5 Farm's CSA Work? 

You commit to support Root 5 Farm for the season by signing up over the winter. Your commitment gives us confidence to create our crop plans and invest in the new growing season.
Over the winter we make plans, order seeds and supplies, and hire our crew. Early in the spring, we start growing produce for you and your family. We arrange partnerships with other farms in our region to source the highest quality fruit, milk, eggs, yogurt, and more for your weekly shares.
We harvest, wash and pack the highest quality vegetables from April through December and deliver a box to your pick-up site each week.


Make your selection each week. 
We’ll send you a list of what's fresh from the fields that week and what we're planning on putting in your box. If you'd like to make any changes, log into your account and build the box that's just right for you!
Bring your own reusable bags to pick up your weekly share, leaving the red box and cold pack materials at the site for us to wash and reuse the following week.
You make incredibly fresh meals all season long, using the resources, recipes, and storage tips we’ve created exclusively for our members.

"It's amazing to open the box, I can see and smell how fresh everything is. The herbs are especially fragrant! This is the best I've ever eaten in my life!"
- J. Lambart, Root 5 Farm CSA member since 2015

Share-a-Share Program:
​
We work closely with Willing Hands to donate thousands of pounds of extra wholesome food to our neighbors in need every year. Willing Hands picks up surplus vegetables at our farm every Tuesday, they come weekly to glean "seconds" from our fields before we till them in, and they pick up any extras after farmers market every Saturday. 

Willing Hands provides the critical link between surplus on our farm and our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. 
​We're proud to partner with Willing Hands to help provide nutritious food to members of our community through the Share-a-Share Program. Willing Hands will pick up the share from our farm and distribute it to one of their recipient sites each week. Donations are tax deductible.
