Garden & Meat CSA’s

*Our CSA is sold out for 2022, unless there are cancellations. Harvest Shares for the month of September may become available as we watch how the gardens grow this season. But you can be added to the wait list to be the first to find out if shares become available.

What is a CSA?

Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) is a win/win partnership between farmers and their community. It is just one way in which to get great local food onto your table.

Joining a CSA gives you regular access to the freshest possible local food and, supports local farms like Grovenland Farm with a stable income during the production season.

Here’s how the program works:  A farmer offers a certain number of "shares" for consumers to purchase local seasonal food directly from the farm. Individuals, families and sometimes groups buy a “membership” or “subscription” and receive a weekly “share” of food during the summer months.

Benefits for CSA members:  

• You receive the highest quality, chemical free, healthy produce at an affordable rate, often picked within hours of being delivered.

• Sample new vegetables and herbs and get exposure to new ways of preparing food.

• Develop a relationship with the farmer who grows our food and learns more about how food is grown.

Benefits for the farmer:  

• Has a ready market for produce grown.

• Receives payment early in the season to help cover expenses.

• Not reliant on producing specific crops at specific times, by taking out some of the crop failure risk (like strong summer storms).

• Has an opportunity to get to know customers and get input on types of food to grow.
