The heart of the year is a summer CSA that runs for 10 weeks from June to August, with a weekly share of seasonal produce, anything from lettuces, beans and beets to tomatoes, corn and melons, collected pre packed from the farm stand on Thursday afternoons. Delivery is offered within a 10 mile radius, and flower and fall shares can be bolted on.

The farm sells pastured pork shares as a quarter or half pig of labelled, vacuum sealed frozen cuts, plus individual cuts, eggs and vegetables. Order by email or phone, pick up at the farm, or ask about delivery, which is available in some areas.
