What is CSA?
We sell our vegetables direct to households through our CSA.
Community Shared Agriculture connects farmers directly with eaters. Members pre-purchase a share in the harvest & are treated to an assortment of the fresh, locally-grown vegetables in season each week. We grow most of our vegetables and eggs here at our farm, and source the rest from local farm partners..
Our vegetables are fresh & delicious.
You'll taste the difference.
Our Main Season CSA runs 19 weeks from June-October.
We curate ~75% of your weekly share contents, but our market-style setup and Choice Table help you customize what you take home.
Eat delicious favourites and broaden your vegetable horizons.
