what is a csa?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.
Community Supported Agriculture is a program where customers purchase 'shares' in seasonal harvests from their local farmers. Throughout the season, subscribers receive a weekly box of fresh, delicious, and in-season produce.
CSA provides farmers with a sustainable economic model that is aligned with the natural cycle of small-scale farming. It's a win-win for everyone: customers receive fresh, local, vibrant produce and farmers receive financial security as they plan their growing season. Throughout the season, subscribers receive a weekly box of fresh, delicious, and in-season produce.

how it works
-
Before the first seed has been sown for the season, you purchase your "share" of this year's harvest.
-
Starting May 23, you will pick up your weekly box of curated produce freshly harvested by our team and our local farm partners. Pick up is at the farm (395 Harbour Road) on the specific day/time you commit to at the beginning of the season.
​
As a valued member of our CSA community, we can't wait to get to know you and provide you with the highest quality, freshest produce available. As the pick up is at the farm, you'll be able to see exactly where and how your food is grown!
