With Farm Share’s community supported agriculture (CSA), you become a "member" of the farm for the season and you receive a weekly delivery of your portion of the farm’s weekly harvest. As the season progresses, the harvest changes so you continue to taste and discover new food throughout the season. Members receive a weekly email newsletter with information about that week’s share and news from the farm.
Farm Share also provides easy-to-follow recipes weekly—many from our talented member chefs—and a place for members to exchange recipes on our website, so that you can learn to cook the food we deliver and trade your own culinary discoveries with a community of Farm Share members.

More About Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
CSA is a unique approach to bringing farms and families together for great food and to support small local farms and sustainable agriculture.
Members of the farm pledge in advance to cover the anticipated costs of the farm operation. In return, they receive shares in the farm's bounty throughout the growing season, as well as satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and their food supply. Members also share in the risks of farming, including unfavorable weather or pests. By selling directly to a community of members who have provided the farmer with working capital in advance, farmers gain some financial security in an uncertain time and are relieved of much of the burden of marketing.
For the farmer, it means having the resources to buy seed and equipment and the time to do what they love to do – farm! For you, a whole season of great food and a direct connection to its source. We like to think of it as doing good by eating better.
What’s in a CSA Share: Shares are designed for 1-2 adults who love vegetables or a family with small children. Vegetarian or larger families often purchase two shares. While quantity depends on what is being harvested on the farm each week, each weekly vegetable share generally includes 6-8 varieties and up to a half bushel of fresh vegetables, with many different delicious varieties including outstanding heirloom types not available in stores. Fruit shares contain 2-3 items each week.
