Fully Customizable, 31 Weeks, May 1st-Dec. 1st

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 swap in or add on local meat, cheese, fruit, milk, yogurt, 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 It Work? 

Customizing Your Weekly Box

We use an online system called Harvie that allows us to custom pack your CSA boxes.

​Set Your Preferences

When you sign up, you can rate all of the vegetables we grow and the products we offer on a scale of “not for me” to “I love it”.

Your boxes will be built based on your preferences and produce that's in season and available for harvest that week. 

See What's Available 

Prior to each delivery, we'll send you an email to let you know what we're planning to put in your box that week.

This initial list is based on your preferences. We match that with what's in season and available for harvest that week.

If you like what we're offering, then you don't have to take any action.​

Swap Items, Add Extras

If you want to make changes, you’ll have the option to swap out items.

You'll also have the option to purchase additional vegetables or other local products like meat, eggs, yogurt, coffee, fruit, and sauerkraut each week. 

You can order small quantities to supplement your weekly share or larger quantities at a discount for canning or preserving. ​​

​
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.
