Receive 24 weeks of organically grown urban produce starting in May and ending in October. Weekly boxes include 7-12 different items depending on the time of year: leafy greens, root veg, summer crops, fruit, specialty crops and herbs.
Choosing to become a Side Yard Farm CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) member also means you are giving back to your community. Every season, our little farm is able to give back to our favorite organizations in town with your support. Our food donation program has been going strong for the last decade. We grow plant starts and extra produce for nonprofits like Equitable Giving Circle , NAYA, Rahab’s Sisters and neighbors in need. You have a choice in purchasing a regular CSA share OR pay a bit extra to help us in supporting our community members. That's about $40 per week for fresh produce grown in the city, PLUS contributing to folx in need.
Why join a CSA? By joining a CSA, you are investing in our farm and becoming part of our family. By paying for your produce in full at the beginning of the season, you are helping us keep the farm going for another year by contributing to those upfront costs like seeds, compost, labor, land mortgage, etc. We also take much pride in taking care of our farmers and paying them a wage they deserve.
WHAT'S IN YOUR SHARE? Each week you will receive a box loaded full of different vegetables & herbs. Shares will be smaller in the spring and becoming larger in the summer and fall months. There will be weeks that will challenge you with produce you've never seen before, but don't you worry, we will help you out with some recipes. Have you always wanted to try cardoons, celtuce, borage greens, shiso, green coriander seeds?
