You still have time to buy your summer farm share. Most summer shares start mid-June making this the perfect time to invest. We proudly support local farms using the community-supported agriculture (CSA) model by offering our stores as drop-sites. Participants in CSA Farm Share pay farms directly and must register and pre-pay. You can learn more about the farms we support and how to register for their CSAs at the links below.

What is a CSA?
A CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, is a system where consumers directly support local farmers by purchasing shares or memberships in a farm’s harvest. Typically, purchasers will pay at the beginning of the growing season for a share of the farm’s produce, which they receive regularly throughout the season. This model fosters a closer connection between eaters and the source of their food, promotes sustainable farming practices, and ensures farmers receive fair compensation for their work. CSAs often offer a diverse array of seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs, and sometimes other products like eggs, meat, or dairy, depending on the farm’s offerings and focus.
