Community Supported Agriculture

The Mary’s Land Farm Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is designed to support our members and the community. By becoming a member of our CSA, you receive great-tasting, healthy and diverse food items – and you also directly impact the local food community by supporting multiple growers, makers and business owners.

Members have the option to receive dietary staples such as fresh fruits and veggies, herbs, eggs, breads, dairy and meat each week. Our model also includes products from other local growers, which broadens your overall impact on local communities. Our farm understands that by subscribing to our CSA, you are putting your weekly diet in our hands; and our goal is to ensure you are pleasantly surprised with every item, every week.

Our CSA is a year round model. There is no deadline to subscribe and there is no set expiration. You can login online and put your CSA share on hold at any time.

CSA Members receive the First Fruits, meaning:

1. CSA Members get the Highest Priority for our ProductsCSA members are top-priority when it comes to providing products. We are growing for MEMBERS first and foremost. Remaining products are sold in our Farm Store.

2. CSA Members get the Freshest ProductsBecause you subscribe to our weekly-service, your items are harvested and packed shortly before pick-up or delivery.

3. CSA Members have more packaging options. CSA members can opt to receive their eggs on a recyclable flat or their lettuce with the roots on in a simple plastic bag instead of washed in a clamshell. These are options we cannot offer in the store.

We will provide you with our farm produced items, along with  items furnished by other local farms that are good tasting and good for you. These products fill the food gaps that we cannot. For example, we will now provide you with baked goods, dairy items, fermented products and seafood from other farms and local producers. These producers must meet our ethical and environmental standards.

Purchasing Flexibility  – Members  have a highly functional online CSA management system, administered by Farmigo, which has been improved upon  every year since 2009. You can put your subscription on hold when you are out of town, and you are able to swap out items from the standard share and  receive a Farmigo credit which may be used to buy other products.

Pickup vs Delivery – Pickup on Wednesdays or Saturdays at Mary’s Land Farm. The farm will increase pickup locations at any site where 10 or more shares can be delivered. If your place of business, your church, or your club would like to host Mary’s Land Farm as a CSA pickup location for more than 10 shares, please contact [email protected]

Delivery is  on Wednesday. There is a delivery fee of $10 per delivery.
