The temperatures are heating up, we've celebrated Memorial Day Weekend, let's get ready for a summer season of eating fresh, cooking healthy, and getting out on the farm. Lucky for you, you can do all this without leaving the city! Read below to learn about our new Market CSA, see our upcoming workshops, and find out how to get your young ones to be Little Farmers. See you on the farm!

Market CSA

We've just added a Market CSA to give you more options to take home our produce. The Market CSA is a dependable source of fresh produce without the commitment of a traditional Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Members pay upfront to receive credit to spend at our weekly Farm Stand (held every Thursday 4pm-7pm). Visit our Market CSA page for more information.
