First A Thank You
First and foremost we want to thank you for choosing us to be your farmers in 2022. We know many of you have been with us since our farm beginning or even before (at my former farm business)! Knowing you, the foods you and your families love, your challenges and successes (and you knowing the same of us!) is one of the things we most value about CSA.
You may have joined our CSA because you love vegetables, were committing to your health or wanted a better eating experience. We also know that many of your chose us for other big reasons like wanting to support a farm which was rooted in ecology or a farm that pays its farm workers (and ourselves) a living wage. While we can’t solve all the worlds problems we see farming as a way to deeply engage and support a community food system, to provide good food to all regardless of income, and to role model and improve organic farming systems that are better for the environment. Being in our CSA supports those missions too.
2022 has been my best farming season since I started in 2006 for many reasons including our supporting CSA members, an incredible farm crew, good weather, improvements in farm infrastructure and maybe even experience. Thank you for allowing us to do what we love, to stock your kitchens and to be part of your life and health!
Kat with Logan, Riley, Ted and Maple and our entire 2022 farm crew

New Things This Season
- THIS YEAR THE SIGN UP IS HAPPENING ONLY ONLINE. There are no more paper forms. You will fill out a google form instead.
- Sign up is earlier this season – By moving to and earlier sign up for current members with deposit we feel like we are balancing our farms need to fill our CSA spots in fall (since we order seed and do our major planning before the New Year) while making the main payment due after the New Year as November and December are often times many families have the most strain on their budgets.
- New “Choose 10 Boxes” option – We have added an option for you to choose 10 CSA boxes during the whole season 30 week harvest season (including spring, summer and fall). You will be provided a calendar in spring 2023 to set dates.
- No more small shares – our small shares were never very popular and over time we realized they provided more challenges for us. If you are worried about receiving too much produce, The Every Other Week Share, Market Share, and Choose 10 boxes options will work well for you!
- Longer spring season – We have added an extra week to spring shares so they are now 6 weeks!
- The Full Season Share is the BEST VALUE per week with the cost of 1 week provided for free (30 weeks of delivery at the price of 29 weeks).
