Always Fresh & Healthy
We are primarily a CSA farm, and only open to members throughout the harvest season. This means that, our primary focus is on the member experience and the highest quality crop production.
We provide up to 50 different crops and up to 100 varieties. We have been recognized for high rates of yearly CSA member retention. We have long term happy customers, who return year after year. We provide “Members Only Pick Your Own Flower and Herb Garden” complimentary with each membership. As Members you may leave each pickup with a bouquet of fresh flowers and herbs.
We cherish our reputation and work hard to uphold it. We strive to create a phenomenal experience and value potential for our members.
