‍Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership between farmers and members. By joining, you’ve invested in your local farm and the food system it sustains. Each week, you’ll receive a seasonal share of freshly harvested produce — from crisp spring greens to hearty winter roots — all grown from non-GMO seed using chemical-free, sustainable methods.

Parking

When you pull into the farm, follow the driveway to the top of the hill and park in the grass near the farm fence or on the side of the long white building where our CSA distribution room is. Please Do Not Park to the left of the dumpster. Our neighbors, The Indian Creek Foundation, reside in the house on the left side of the driveway at the top of the hill and often have need for emergency vehicles. You will see a ramp where the distribution doors are located. Inside you will find our Market & Distribution area.

‍

Please be extremely careful when entering or exiting the parking lot. The driveway is narrow, farm equipment may travel in unexpected places, and lots of small children like to pick flowers and explore the farm. Always be aware of your surroundings and drive slowly.

Each week brings a new harvest to your table! You’ll select your items online from the best and most abundant produce freshly picked from our fields. Enjoy familiar favorites like green beans, potatoes, onions, lettuce, and bell peppers, along with a few seasonal surprises such as kohlrabi and leeks for a little farm-fresh adventure. And if you change your mind on pickup day, our swap table makes it easy to trade for something new!

‍

As a member, you’ll receive a weekly share (like a veggie subscription) of delicious, chemical-free fruits and vegetables—grown from non-GMO seeds using environmentally friendly methods.

‍

By participating, you’re not only nourishing your body with nutritious food but also strengthening our community. A portion of every harvest supports local families and food banks through Living Hope Farm’s donation programs.

HOW IT WORKS

‍

• Choose your items: Each week, we’ll text and email you when the harvest list opens. Build your box with whatever you’d like—just finalize your cart by 6pm Sunday. If you don’t skip or customize your order, you’ll be automatically enrolled to receive our Farmer’s Choice box for that week.
• Pickup Weekly: You’ll get a pickup reminder, which includes your pickup window and detailed pickup location instructions, on pickup day. Don’t forget your reusable bags!
• Enjoy Perks, Recipes & More! Every week, we send recipes, storage tips, and harvest details straight to your inbox so you know exactly how to use everything you ordered. And don’t forget to swing by the Public Market, where members get an extra 10% off produce!

♻️ Please bring a reusable bag or two to carry your items home.

‍

When you arrive at the CSA distribution room, there is a table to your right where you will find a member list. A farm volunteer will help you check off that you received your weekly share. If you placed an online order, there will be a printout of your choices on a slip of paper that you can use as you gather your items.

‍

*If you did not place an order, you will receive a “Farmer’s Choice” share.

‍

At pickup, items are arranged alphabetically in bins on the tables.

‍

Each item will have a card identifying it and specifying the quantity to take. There will be times when you will need to weigh out your produce on the scales provided. Sometimes we will use one scale for more than one item, so the scale maybe located a few bins away. If you have any questions, one of the share room volunteers will be happy to assist you.

SWAP TABLE

‍

We offer a fully stocked swap table at the beginning of each pickup. The swap table is located next to the cooler in the market area. If you see something on the swap table that you would like, simply place the item you wish to swap on the table and select the new item of your choice. You are more than welcome to swap out as many items as you wish from the Swap Table, but first, please remember to pick them up from the original bins and place them on the swap table.

‍

‍WHAT ARE SECONDS?

‍

From time to time, we have slightly blemished but still usable produce, which will be on the bench located next to the door. CSA Members are encouraged to take as much produce from the seconds bin as they wish, but they will need to use it soon to prevent it from spoiling. This helps us reduce food waste.

Some produce items will be offered with a U-Pick option for members who want to get out in the field and receive an even better value. U-Pick crops offer great opportunities to enjoy quiet time in the field alone or as a family. Tasting a fresh green bean or popping a strawberry in your mouth right off the vine is a treat! We do encourage a taste or two, but do ask you to refrain from making a meal of your U-Pick opportunities.

‍

On your pick-up day, in the distribution area, you will find instructions and locations for crops that are available for U-Pick. For various items, quart or pint containers will be provided for your convenience, but we request that you leave them after picking your share. It is suggested that you bring additional containers with you to transport your delicate produce home after harvesting your measured share. Please ask another CSA member, intern, or the farmer if you are unsure of how to harvest a crop.

‍

A limited number of clippers are available to use for harvesting. They can be found in the field in a box near U-Pick Crops. Please return them for others to use when you are finished.

Here are 5 practical ways to preserve your CSA veggies so nothing goes to waste:

1. Freezing: Chop and blanch veggies like green beans, broccoli, carrots, or leafy greens, then freeze in airtight bags.
2. Pickling & Fermenting: Cucumbers, radishes, carrots, and cabbage can be pickled or turned into sauerkraut/kimchi. Pickling adds flavor variety and boosts gut health.
3. Pesto & Sauces: Turn extra greens (spinach, kale, arugula, carrot tops) into pestos or sauces and freeze in ice cube trays for single servings. Perfect for pasta, soups, and quick meals.
4. Dehydrating: Zucchini chips, dried tomatoes, or even kale chips last months when dried properly. A dehydrator works best, but your oven on low heat works too.
5. Canning: Make tomato sauce, salsa, jams, or even canned beets and beans. Water-bath canning for high-acid foods, pressure canning for low-acid veggies.

Keep in the Fridge

• Greens: in a sealed container or plastic bag with a dry towel t, and enhances longevity.
• Herbs: in a jar with a little water, loosely covered
• Roots (carrots, beets, radishes): remove tops ⟶ store in bags

Keep on the Counter

• Tomatoes
• Winter squash
• Onions & garlic
• Potatoes (dark, cool spot)

Quick Wins

• Wash greens right away
• Chop & store in clear containers
• Roast a tray of mixed veggies on Day 1
• Freeze herbs in olive oil cubes
• Save veggie scraps for broth
