Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Shares:
Our CSA delivers boxes of organic vegetables to convenient pick-up locations in communities throughout Maryland.
CSA Members Enjoy:
- Weekly boxes of fresh, crisp, organic vegetables, bursting with flavor and grown just for you – close to home
- Connecting with a community of people that celebrates eating well and living green
- Weekly newsletters packed with recipes, news from your farm, and ideas for preparing your fresh veggies
- Peace of mind, knowing you support local, organic farming that’s good for you and good for our Earth
- Reducing your carbon footprint by reducing the “food miles” (the distance between you and the source of your food). Most food travels about 1500 miles from farm to you.
- Supporting the local economy and voting for family farms with your food dollar! By purchasing directly from the farm, your entire food dollar goes into the local economy, supports farm families and ecologically sound farming practices.
The CSA season is 22 weeks, beginning the third week of May and continuing through the growing season. Each week you will pick up a 1/2 bushel box of 5-8 different, fresh, flavorful, certified organic vegetables from your chosen pick up location. For specific box contents refer to our blog section under "Hoopla" where you can read our archived weekly newsletters.*
