Why Choose a CSA?
Connect with local farmers. CSAs deepen community bonds and support sustainable food systems.
Fresh, seasonal, and often organic produce. You'll receive vegetables (and sometimes flowers, herbs, dairy, or meat) that are harvested just hours before distribution.
Flexible models to suit your lifestyle. From pay-as-you-go to subscription-based, full-size or half shares, many CSAs offer pick-up or delivery options and accommodate various budgets.
