Community Support Agriculture

share contents   share options   online sign-up form

Each week from mid June through the middle of September, you can come to the farm and pick up your share of vegetables harvested that morning. In addition, you have the option to get fresh, free-range eggs each week. By buying your vegetables and eggs locally, you not only help conserve oil and packaging material, you get to enjoy the freshest and most flavorful product possible. Signup for the summer share here.

A separate fall share will be offered that will run every other week from the middle of September until Thanksgiving. Again, this is separate from the summer share and the number of shares available will be dependent on how the season goes. Priority for fall shares are given to current CSA members, but you may be able to purchase only a fall share. More information will be available by the summer.

Additional Share Options: Eggs and Flowers

In addition to vegetables, you can add several options to your weekly share. If it difficult for you to come to the farm, you can collect your vegetables at our Portland pickup site. You also have the option to add either a half-dozen or dozen of our fresh eggs to your share. Though we offer pick-your-own flowers, you may want to arrange a bouquet from pre-cut stems.
