What?
A farm share or CSA is an arrangement between a farmer and customer where you buy a subscription to a local farm in advance of the season. The farmer uses the up-front funds for everything needed to grow the food. In return, the farmer delivers your weekly “share” of the harvest.
Why?
Participating in a farm share is the most powerful way we can support our local farmers, but there are also many benefits to you and your family.

Benefits of a Farm Share
Ultra Fresh Locally Grown Food
Farms give their members the very best of their produce and may even offer flowers, honey, eggs, and more. Produce is picked at its peak ripeness – making sure it has the most flavor and nutrients.
Enjoy Health
Fresh and whole foods are a powerful way to keep you and your family healthy. Local farmers care about the families they are feeding and have a deep sense of responsibility to keep their food safe. Eating local first means putting the health of your family first!
Learn how to eat with the seasons
There’s nothing like unpacking a weekly farm share box to get back in touch with the seasons. Often, it is full of wonderful surprises and treats! Many come with recipes and newsletters which explain what’s been going on at the farm and what to do with lesser known veggies.
Saves Money
Most farm share members will save money over a similar amount of quality produce bought at the store or from a market.
Saves Time
Picking up, or getting food delivered directly to you, simply takes less time than choosing, bagging, and paying for items at the store!
Relationships
There are few things more fulfilling than getting to know the people who grow your food.
