Please call at least one week ahead. Kindly provide your own transport. Any able-bodied worker over 21 welcome. Lunch and beer provided!
CALCULATE YOUR PAYMENT:
Example: 4 weeks with 2 dozen eggs and 3 add-ons for 4 weeks.
$95 + $10 + $21 = $126
Example: Season with 8 dozen eggs and 14 add-ons, for 14 weeks
$350 + $40 + $98 = $488

What is CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Simply put, an individual can purchase a "share" of the season's crops, which is harvested weekly. The fun of a CSA is that whatever ripens that week, is what you get. Your box of produce will be made up of different things week to week.
Shares at many other farms average $35-$45 per week. Because we are a small farm we strive to keep our prices affordable. We recognize that it might be difficult for people to come up with a large payment up front for the whole season so we, unlike many other CSAs, have a more frequent pay structure.
