Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

We work with a network of over 15 produce farms & orchards, 3 meat farmers & butchers, and over 10 small bakers & makers.

Anyone can pick up your bag for you. Simply have them give your name during pick-up. If you do not pick up your bag in the given window of time, your bag is donated. Each pick-up stop is different. For example, North Royalton donates to a private women's shelter.

Yes! We will simply credit you for the weeks you did not participate. Order using the $100 deposit option, and we will call you for the remaining balance.

We send out a weekly E-Newsletter for exactly this reason! Each week, we send you an email to say exactly what’s in the bag, explain less known/popular produce, and give easy-to-cook recipes with the produce in your bag. We hope this helps make it easy to try new things and use up all the produce in your bag.

Yes! We have many people who find ways to share a bag. Some take turns picking up every other week. Others split up the bag on a weekly basis. All you need to do is choose 1 family's name to put it under. Then, let us know.

Unfortunately, we do not substitute items. Due to our small staff & simple systems, we are unable to handle individual substitutions. We do highly encourage trading with other members, sharing extras with loved ones, and trying produce in new ways.
