Community Supported Agriculture
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is when you, the consumer,
have a direct relationship with your food and local farmers.
CSA members purchase a “share” of our farm’s annual harvest upfront,
helping us establish a solid financial foundation for the season.
As a member, you receive your weekly share of freshly harvested veggies
throughout the season at a convenient pick-up location.
How It Works:
WHAT
A weekly share of the season's freshest vegetables, as well as u-pick options from the farm, including herbs and flowers!
See details below for share options & prices, as well as what's in season!
WHERE
Pick-up options are:
Thursdays at the West Stockbridge Farmers Market (3-6pm)
Fridays at the Farm
(2-5 pm)
Saturdays at the Farm
(9 am - 12 pm)
WHEN
CSA pick-ups begin at the very end of May or the first week of June.
Shares are available each week throughout summer
and into fall,
lasting 23-25 weeks
of the season.

Why is CSA important?
CSA members commit to sharing the inherent risks and bounties of a farm from
season-to-season. By signing up early, in the fall and winter months,
your membership allows us to plan properly, purchase new seed,
and invest in equipment at a time of year when resources and funds are low.
Being a part of Colfax Farm, and our CSA, is a way to invest in the local food system
and strengthen your relationships in our local community.
Being a CSA member is so much more than just a direct exchange of money for food.
It’s an exchange of ideas (and recipes) between you and fellow CSA members.
It’s learning what it takes to grow food in ethical & environmentally-conscious ways.
It’s an opportunity to get your hands in the dirt and contribute.
It's your chance to appreciate the land and all it offers us.
It is a way to feel a real connection in this increasingly disconnected world.
