CSA Members get priority access to a farmer’s choice assortment of freshly harvested produce, pantry staples, and more from our farm and our trusted local partners. You also gain access to our online store for exclusive weekly add-on options.

Our Produce
We raise a large variety of both hybrid and heirloom vegetables for our CSA and country store. It all starts in our propagation house, where we start the seeds for our future crops.
All of our crops are hand transplanted, trellised, pruned and harvested. Our produce vine ripened and is picked at the peak of perfection. We want our produce to be different in taste, appearance, and smell, from what you would find in the grocery store.
We harvest, wash and pack our produce quickly to ensure the best possible shelf life for our customers. Our CSA share contents are usually harvested within a day of pickup. The share bags are packed the day of pickup. That way, our produce is as fresh as it can be for our customers.

We'll text/email you each week before we harvest, and you'll have until that week's cutoff time (48 hours before pickup) to add extras to your order, or to notify us if you need to skip or donate the week's share.
Heading out of town? No problem—just modify your order at least 48 hours before pickup, and we’ll issue a credit for a future week. You also have the option to donate it by emailing us at least 48 hours before pickup.
Unclaimed shares are donated to our local food pantry.
Yes! Members get first dibs on Strawberry shares, along with the ability to add extra veggies & value added products (honey, eggs, milk, baked goods, etc.) from our add-on shop each week.
When you choose to join our CSA Program, you are committing to being our customer for the growing season. That doesn’t mean that you can’t shop for greens from another local farm that grows great greens year round. It just means that you will show up, talk us up, and promise to try to cook meals from fresh produce.
By joining, you provide The Farmers’ Daughter and at least 10 other local farms with a market for their crops, before they are harvested. Likewise, when you join our CSA Program, we dedicate ourselves to being your farmers.
