We've been busy planting and tending to the garden and are excited to kick off our spring CSA! The 12-week spring season runs from Sunday, Feb 23 through Sunday, May 18.
Working members will harvest from 2pm-4pm on Sundays, and all members can get their share of the harvest between 4pm and 5pm.
Subscription costs are $30 per harvest for non-working members and $15 for working members.
Note: The cost helps pay for seeds, water, etc, as well as the salary for our CSA Farm Manager.

It was another beautiful afternoon at the garden! Members received pecans, mint, green onions, okra, noodle beans, arugula, mustard greens, winter squash, and collards.
Garden tasks included planting more seedlings and uprooting the aggressive alligator w**d 🤠

We just wrapped up week four of our 12 week Fall CSA, and goodness, we have been busy!

Seeds and transplants set out weeks ago are coming along nicely. We've begun harvesting kale, arugula, mustard greens, and rutabaga greens--in addition to the warm season veggies that are still going strong.

Our working members have been putting out transplants of cilantro, parsley, fennel, brocoli, and more, while also w**ding around up-and-coming beets, turnips, and carrots.

It was a beautiful afternoon at the garden (hot, but beautiful)! We're definitely welcoming fall with open arms 🌻🌻🌻
Forgot to take pics of the harvest, but members picked up herbs, green onions, okra, winter squash, noodle beans, and watermelon.
After harvesting, we had folks pulling w**ds, adding fertilizer, watering and transplanting broccoli and kale seedlings.

We hope you'll participate in SOLA Giving Day by donating to help us renovate our community farm pavilion. Our much used gathering space/work space/distribution space needs some organization solutions and freshening up for improved functionality.

In addition to our Farm Incubator Program to support new farmers, starting in June 2024, we will host farmer field days and workshops! Your support makes it all possible.

Community Farm

We are at our best when growing healthy food and bringing people together to better our community. Our 4 acre garden site is the anchor for our growing and giving activities, tended by our Garden Managers. Since 2004, our organization has operated or hosted: community gardens, children’s gardens, donation gardens, and a horticulture therapy garden for the H.A.L.T. program of the 15th Judicial District Court – all alongside our flagship Community Supported Agriculture farm.
