CSA MEMBERSHIP

SOLD OUT FOR THE 2026 SEASON! Thank you so much to everyone who bought a box and supported the farm in our first season!

Becoming a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) member is a meaningful way to support Second Nature Farm while enjoying fresh, seasonal produce all summer long. Your membership helps cover the upfront costs of seeds and supplies at the beginning of the season which is one of the most costly times for a small farm.

In return, you’ll receive a weekly or bi-weekly box of fresh, nutritious vegetables and herbs, grown with care. Your early support means so much to me, especially in my first season farming on my own. I’m excited to share an abundance of fresh, delicious produce with you throughout the season!

  • Each share includes approximately 7–9 vegetables or herbs per week. The value throughout the season will even out to $44/week, some weeks might be slightly less while others might go over value based on the time of season and availability of crops but you can expect between $40-$50 worth of fresh vegetables in each share.
