Always Fresh & Healthy
Gorman Farms is first and foremost a CSA farm, open exclusively to our members throughout the harvest season. Because of this, our primary focus is simple: exceptional member experience and the highest-quality crops possible.
Each season, we grow up to 50 different crops and over 100 varieties, offering incredible diversity from late spring through early winter. We’re proud to be recognized for our high CSA member retention, with many happy members returning year after year. That loyalty is something we cherish – and work hard to earn.
As a CSA member, you’ll enjoy access to our Members-Only Pick-Your-Own Flower and Herb Garden, included complimentary with every membership. At most pickups, members pick a fresh bouquet of flowers and herbs – just one of the ways we add extra value and joy to your weekly visit.
We take our reputation seriously and strive to create a phenomenal, welcoming, and memorable experience for every member while providing outstanding value throughout the season.
It is important that you make a confident decision with your purchase. You should feel great knowing that OUR CSA works for YOUR lifestyle. We only want your business if it is good for you!

Each week’s pickup offers abundant quantities and a wide variety of fresh choices. You’re welcome to trade selections and swap items with others, so you leave with what you’ll truly use.
Every pickup includes the opportunity to pick a complimentary bouquet of flowers and herbs – our little gift to you.
Our market-style pickups are set up like a farmer’s market inside a beautiful old barn, creating a relaxed, browse-and-choose experience.
When crops reach their natural peak, we offer larger quantities perfect for preserving. Freeze, can, ferment, or dry your harvest and extend the value of your share well beyond the growing season.
In 2025, we distributed 176,000 lbs of fresh produce to our Summer CSA Members – that’s nearly 90 tons of healthy, local food!
Last year, a Full Share received roughly $1300.00 worth of retail produce for only $1070.00. Medium Share received a proportional value.
Beyond the numbers, your CSA share brings joy to your kitchen and your table. Preparing and sharing meals together enriches your home, strengthens family bonds, and broadens your culinary horizons.
We intentionally delight you during the harvest’s periods of abundance, offering a bounty of fresh, nutritious food.
Our members often discover a new relationship with their health and their food, enjoying a consistent supply of seasonal, high-quality produce. We provide familiar staples alongside exciting, unexpected varieties – many members fall in love with foods they never would have tried otherwise.
This CSA is more than just food – it’s an education in sustainable, seasonal eating. You’ll learn how to nourish your body with what nature provides while expanding your kitchen skills and creativity.
By joining, you embrace wellness, exploration, and the joy of trying new flavors, all while experiencing the rhythms of the growing season.
