Registration for our 2018 CSA is now closed!

Thank you to all of our CSA customers who have chosen Food Works to be your CSA provider this year! We appreciate ALL of your support and look forward to sharing a bountiful growing season with you.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a farm business model where customers buy a share of the farm before the season starts. In return, they receive a box of produce every week throughout the season. CSA members are essential to the success of our program. All funds raised through our CSA go directly to funding wages for Food Works youth and operating our farm.

What's so special about a Food Works CSA share?

  • 22 weeks of certified-organic produce, from June 9th until October 27th
  • SNAP recipients can use their SNAP benefits to pay for 85% of their share!
  • Weekly e-newsletters written by Food Works Crew Leaders. Includes farm updates, youth profiles, recipes, and more
  • Add-on options for summer bumper crop special orders as well as a fall bounty boX
  • Invitations to farm volunteer parties and other Village Gardens community events

TWO share sizes in 2018!

Full CSA Share

$650 for 22 weeks (average $30 vegetables every week)

This box will supply produce for 3-6 people who regularly eat a lot of vegetables throughout the week, or for folks who are comfortable regularly processing vegetables for later (i.e., cooking and freezing, canning, fermenting, etc.)

Runs the weeks June 4th through October 29th

week 8.jpg

Half CSA Share

$330 for every other week for 22 weeks (average $30 vegetables every two weeks)

This box will supply produce for 1-4 people who eat out or on the go a couple times a week, but still want farm-direct, fresh vegetables to cook when they're home.

Runs the weeks June 4th through October 29th

Eligible for SNAP benefits? See below for our SNAP payment information.
