What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture shortens the distance from farm to table, benefiting the health of our bodies, our wallets and the earth. CSA members receive a weekly abundance of fresh, local food throughout the growing season. With a secure market for their harvest, CSA farmers get to focus on growing great food and caring for the land.
Why Join?
- TASTE Fresh is more delicious and selling locally allows farmers to choose varieties based on flavor rather than shipping durability.
- HEALTH The colorful bounty of a CSA share represents a weekly dose of fresh vitamins and minerals.
- COMMUNITY During pickups, at farm visit days and through our newsletter, members can share recipes, learn how their food is grown and spend time with fellow veggie-lovers.
- ADVENTURE The weekly challenge of using up a CSA share presents an exciting cooking experience.
- LAND STEWARDSHIP We use compost, crop rotation, cover crops and crop diversity rather than chemicals.
- SUSTAINABILITY Vegetable oil fuels our trucks, part of our land is planted in permaculture and we keep earth in mind in all our decisions.
- ACCOUNTABILITY We can answer to our members on quality, environmental and labor issues in ways that big industrial farms cannot.
- KEEPING IT LOCAL Members support their local economy by keeping their food dollars nearby.
The Adamah Farm offers four types of CSA shares.

A Note on Variety and Amounts of Produce: In a hot year, members may receive more tomatoes than broccoli. In a rainy year, lettuce will thrive while fungal disease may reduce tomato yields. We grow even more crops than listed and each season holds some surprises in how much each crop yields.
Local, healthy food is important but we also need beauty in our lives! An Adamah Flower share makes a wonderful gift for yourself or a friend. Flower share members will receive a weekly bouquet of mixed flowers for ten weeks. Flower shares will begin either on July 7th or 14th, depending on when the flowers begin blooming and go until either September 8th or 15th. Flower Shares will be delivered in water at your regular pickup location along with your veggies.
