We are currently reserving a small number of seats for our volunteers as a token of our appreciation. If seats become available, we will post an update.

2024 CSA sales are open. Our CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture program is a subscription to our farm’s produce during the peak growing season. This type of program allows farms the cash flow they need to purchase seeds, soil amendments and the other necessities to produce crops in the season ahead. Support local farming by joining our 2024 CSA!

Our CSA program connects our garden to your dinner table. CSA’s help support your local farms by giving an up-front payment that covers many of our costs for the year. With a CSA membership you will receive a bag of fresh local produce delivered to your door every Friday.
