CSA Information & Signup

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. This is a relationship between you the consumer (or eater) and the farmer (us) who grow your vegetables. You support your farmer in his or her farming efforts and enjoy the benefits of eating freshest and most nutritious produce available. Your vegetables are picked only hours before delivery. Placed side by side our produce will rate higher than anything you can find in a grocery store! If you're looking for our meat order form, click here to download.

Sign up for our CSA!

At Growing Things Farm we offer a Summer CSA program that runs for 20 weeks beginning in June. Egg and fruit shares are also available in conjunction with our veggie share, but are not available separately.

Our CSA program is created around customer satisfaction. Members who pick up at a farmers market have the opportunity to trade a vegetable they do not want for a preferred one. Those picking up at the farm or at a drop off location can let us know your preferences and we will accommodate you.

When you sign up for our CSA program, you may also sign up for our newsletter which is full of recipes, storage information, news of the farm and what’s going on in the world of sustainable farming.

Vegetable share

The Summer CSA begins with early greens such as tender baby salad mix, baby spinach and a wide variety of Asian greens. As the weeks progress your bags of produce transition into tasty peas, beans, carrots, beets, broccoli, onions, summer squash, tomatoes, cucumbers and much more. Pick up is every week.

Eggs

Along with our vegetable shares we also offer egg shares. Our eggs come from a wonderful laying breed. They are gentle and sweet and terrific layers.

They are also great foragers and besides eating their daily meal of organic grains they are out the rest of the day eating in their pastures, snacking on the great greens growing as well as hunting out the tasty worms and insects, except when they are laying of course. They do that in the egg house. During certain times of the day it is impossible to go in without covering your ears it is so loud with the proud exclamations of their contributions to the cause.
