CSA Membership

A member of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program purchases a share of a farmer's harvest at the beginning of the season. With that arrangement, the farmer can buy seeds and other supplies that they may need to start the growing season. In return, you receive a weekly share of produce. An accompanying email includes cooking tips, suggested recipes, and updates about what's happening at the farm.

By purchasing a share of our CSA , you eat seasonally, support your local farmer (that's us!), and know exactly where your food come from. Send us a message or email if you want to be a member or have questions.

What Our Vegetable CSA Looks Like:

A Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program is a relationship between our farm and you. By becoming members of this CSA, you will receive a portion of the farm’s harvest. A vegetable CSA provides produce every week to feed approximately 1 - 2 people. For the 2025 season you can choose from our 2 different Vegetable CSA periods, each of which run for 11 weeks. (You can both seasons as well!)

Each week, you are given a list of 2 - 6 veggies that you will see in your bag as well as several items that you can choose from (usually 2 - 6 optional choices, for a total of 7 to 9). As a part of the optional list of produce, I will be offering fruit and some vegetables, like brussel sprouts, broccoli, and potatoes from McCleaf's Orchard. We also offer specialty mushrooms grown from The Garden International, a small urban mushroom grower out of Beltsville, MD.

NO SPRING CSA for 2025 to give us time to welcome our new baby! We'll be back for the late spring/early summer.

The Summer CSA begins the weekend of June 20th/21st and ends August 29th/30th

The Fall CSA starts September 12th/13th and concludes November 21st/22nd

Pricing is $350 per season, or about $32 per week . Discounts are offered if you pay for both seasons upfront.

Examples of what you might see in a CSA share:

Summer: Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Garlic, Ground Cherries, Lettuce, Yard-long beans, Basil, Microgreens, and Blueberries

Fall: Salad Mix or Lettuce, Tomatoes, Arugula, Green Onions, Cucumbers, Radishes, Carrots, and Peaches/Apples

Note: We don't apply any herbicides and only spray organic pesticides when absolutely necessary. We mainly rely on insect netting to keep pests away from our produce. Let us know if you have any questions on the methods that we use to grow our produce.

Pick Up

You are responsible for picking up your share each week from one of the two locations:

Friday evenings 5pm - 7pm at our farm in Berwyn Heights, MD (address given out when CSA is purchased)
Saturday Mornings 10am - 2pm at the Hollywood Farmers Market in College Park, MD

Please remember:

1) Pick up your share within the stated time frame. Remember, always wash all produce before eating.

2) If you cannot pick-up your share, you must arrange for someone else to pick it up for you. You are responsible for explaining the pick-up location and procedures to your substitute. We may be able to provide earlier pick up on Friday for extenuating circumstances.

Refunds

We are unable to offer refunds once a CSA has started. We promise to do our best to provide you with a bountiful share each week, and sometimes you may get more food than we anticipated! But despite our best efforts, the quantity of produce may vary from week-to-week due to extreme weather, insects, or other production factors. By joining our CSA, you are agreeing to share the reward of any abundance and the risk of crop failure with us other CSA members. In the unlikely event of a crop failure, our procedure is as follows: If only a small portion of crops fail, we compensate for the failed crops by filling your share with other crops grown on the farm that are ready for harvest at that time. If a large portion of crops fail, we may be unable to deliver any product in some weeks, or we may cover for a crop loss by providing produce from other local farmers.
