NEW THIS YEAR

Saturdays. 8-12, at the Lewes Farmers Market

How does the CSA work?
Basically, you invest a bit of your money and in return we curate a weekly selection of vegetables from our small farm. Each pick up consists of 6-10 items. They are intended to generously feed a family of 4.
Once the season starts just stop in at Piazza in Easton Thursday afternoon, or Saturdays at the Lewes Farmers Market, and your vegetables will be packed and ready for you. You will also receive a weekly email with a list of what is in the share, along with some guidance in how to use it, and updates from the field.
Your investment is vital to the sustainability of the farm. You give us the capital and stability we need to get the season off to a healthy start. December through March is when most of the money for the farm is spent on seeds, plants, organic soil amendments, repairs, and infrastructure improvement. We literally couldn't do it without you.
The CSA pick-up gives us more than financial stability, and you more than just a weekly bag of vegetables. It also gives us a village, one in which we are all rooted.

It’s been a bright spot in my week, and a way to tap into creativity and inspiration.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. When you join a CSA you are making a commitment to supporting a smaller scale, but local and resilient food system. You invest upfront and in return receive a weekly supply of the freshest vegetables possible, harvested literally hours before you pick them up. CSA support is essential for many small farms because it gives us the capital and stability we need to start our season.
Is a CSA for me?
A CSA is a commitment not just to our farm, but to yourself and a lifestyle of preparing fresh, seasonal food almost every day. This doesn't suit everyone's lifestyle. If, however, you love to cook and experiment and learn some new things about your food, a CSA is a wonderful addition to your kitchen. It is sized for a family so if you are in a 1-2 person household you might consider splitting your share with a friend. This is also a good idea if you tend to travel a lot in the summer.
Is your produce chemical free?
YES! We don't use any synthetic chemicals at the farm. Feeding the soil food web is at the core of our growing practices, so we only use organic compost and methods. We are always striving to bring the farm and the ecosystem into balance on our path toward abundance and quality.
What happens if I can't pick up a share?
If for some reason you can't make it to the pick up one week, this can be a great opportunity to share with your friends or neighbors and have them pick up instead!
