CSA Directory 2026

CSA stands for “community supported agriculture” and is a farm production and marketing model where community members pay up front for a share in the upcoming harvest - essentially a farm subscription!

Buying in at the start of the season helps the farmer purchase inputs and guarantees them income. You’re also shortening the food supply chain. The farmer receives 100% of your purchase, unlike at the grocery store or market. And, you’ll know exactly where your food came from!

By purchasing a share, you get fruits, veggies, and other products through the growing season at peak freshness, directly from a local farmer. Most shares are “farmer choice” - every week is a surprise! Try new foods, cook healthier meals, eat in alignment with the seasons, and take pride in knowing you are strengthening our local food system.

Joining a CSA is an investment in a local farm, your health, and our food system!

While operations vary farm to farm, you will generally pay up front for a set number of weeks. Each week, you will pick up a box of preselected goods. Pick up locations can include farmers’ markets, porches, and other predetermined business locations.

Many farms allow payment plans, offer smaller shares (in item quantity, or every other week), and some provide the option to select your own items online. Some also accommodate skipped weeks.

Read farms’ websites for more information about their specific program.

Information about CSAs can be tricky to find, so we did the work for you.
