CSA Share Pick-Up Times
Volunteering on the Farm: Working vs. Non-Working Shares
You have the opportunity to volunteer alongside the farm crew throughout the season. When you register, you may choose a "working share" indicating that you will volunteer in exchange for a reduced CSA rate. If you do not want to volunteer, sign up for a "non-working share." To learn more about CSA volunteer opportunities, view registration form using the button below.
U-Pick Vegetables and Herbs
You will have the opportunity to harvest you-pick vegetables and herbs as part of your CSA share. You may choose U-pick items as some of your "vegetable units.” Planned U-pick vegetables and herbs include peas, cherry tomatoes, husk cherries, green beans, tomatillos, basil, dill, cilantro, and parsley.
- Vegetables: Our greatest array of standard and unusual varieties yet
- Berries! blueberries, raspberries, juneberries, american cranberries, currants, sumac fruits, and more.

- new: meal club pilot- a collective of immigrant cooks drawn from our farm community will make prepared food items to share with CSA members. Get ready for some fine tamales!
CSA Style
- Choice of vegetables: A variety of vegetables will be available each week to choose from, so you choose which vegetables you would like to take home each week.
- Vegetable units: Each share size is associated with a number of "vegetable units." One vegetable unit could be one bunch of carrots, one watermelon, 6 ears of sweet corn, a bag of baby lettuce, a number of tomatoes, a bunch of kale, etc. The number of vegetable units you sign up for indicates the number of vegetable units you can pick each week. If you particularly love kale or some other vegetable, you can choose multiple units of that vegetable when they are not restricted. (Typically, a vegetable is restricted when it first becomes ripe for 1-2 weeks due to limited supply). If you do not like a particular vegetable, you do not need to choose that vegetable at all.

Payment Breakdown:
Perks of this system for members:
How does it work?
After running CSAs for 15 years in 5 different farm locations, we have evolved THE BEST system. Simply choose the average number of vegetable and other items you want to pick up each week, and use the chart below to pick the corresponding CSA payment. Before or at your first pickup, you’ll receive a CSA & FARM STORE CARD which automatically stores your initial payment and current balance, and gives a huge bulk discount every time you pick up your share or shop the farm store.
So, your initial CSA payment for the CSA share size of your choice gets you a farm store credit throughout 2024 for MORE THAN THE INITIAL AMOUNT PAID, useable for ALL STORE PRODUCTS-- our own products listed above, AS WELL AS some other local and sustainable produce, preserved products, and dry goods that we obtain through arrangements with local sustainable farm friends.
