-get 26 weeks of healing, delicious fresh vegetables during the months of April through November plus a bulk share of potatoes, onions, and garlic to enjoy throughout the season.

-make it easy to make healthy food choices by always having fresh veggies on hand! We will pass on years of vegetable devouring knowledge with recipes and cooking tips!

-Create a sustainable financial relationship that helps us buy seeds and pay people on time by paying us in 8 monthly payments. We accept cash, checks, and EBT cards!

-Choose a CSA that serves your needs: a payment plan that splits the cost up over the whole season, smaller shares that are appropriate for 1 to 3 people (depending on your cooking habits), and group drop off location near you (more convenient than on-farm pick up, less expensive than home delivery).

but, what does it cost?

We provide 26 weeks of veggies and extra potatoes, onions and garlic for 8 payments of 50$. For our EBT folks, we have to deduct from your account week by week.

I laid out the process I went through in this document. In it I compiled all the phone numbers and links to important pages you need to apply to the USDA and get hooked up with the contractors that run the machines.
