Is CSA Right For Me?
What is CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a group of people who pledge support for a local farm by purchasing “shares” in the farm’s harvest.
In a traditional CSA, members pay their share in advance of the growing season, as early as the previous fall, in some cases. (In our CSA, you have the option of paying in full or making a 50% deposit.)
When crops are harvested, CSA members receive the “first fruits” from the farm in the form of a weekly box of produce.
While CSA members are primarily looking for fresh, nutritious produce, they are also motivated by the opportunity to support local farming and to join a community of like-minded people.

Amazing experience for our family!
Back to the Garden produce has been an amazing experience for our family. The vegetables are incredibly fresh and delicious!
No more anemic, bland grocery store tomatoes. We are loving the recipes that accompany each week’s produce.
Thanks for your efforts…to bring us food the way it was intended.

A++, would do it again!
We didn’t plant much of a garden last year so we joined this CSA. It was really nice to have this service. And it was cheaper than buying organic at the grocery store. A++, would do it again!

Questions To Ask Yourself
Before making your purchase, it’s important to consider your lifestyle and eating habits to determine if a farm share is right for you.
Please review the questions below for helpful information to guide your decision.
Is preferred customer status important to you?
CSA members are given top priority on our farm. The first of the harvest goes to fulfilling our commitment to farm shares before any produce goes into the store.
Also, CSA members get first opportunity to purchase items that are limited in quantity and get exclusive access to special offers and deals.
If you are concerned about a lack of options for quality, locally-grown food, membership in a CSA is a good idea.
How often do you prepare meals?
Many people do not cook; they prefer to eat prepared meals or they have little to no time to make their own food.
If this is you, then a CSA farm share is probably not a smart choice.
Instead, consider purchasing a microgreens subscription. Microgreens are nutritionally dense, delicious and easy to add to any dish.
Will you be out of town?
Summer is a time when most families take vacation. Before signing up for a farm share, we ask that you consider your summer schedule.
Are you going to be out of town for several weeks? If so, you’ll need to make arrangements to give your weekly share to someone else, perhaps a family member or neighbor.
We do not currently offer a share to be “paused.”
Do you want to support local farming?
Most CSA members view their farm share as more than a purchase; they have a strong desire to support local, sustainable farming.
They desire a relationship with their farmer that is more than a mere transaction.
Do you embrace "seasonal eating"?
You will likely get a few veggies you rarely (if ever) eat; for instance radishes one week, beets or turnips the next. (Don’t worry, we won’t overload you with “unusual” items.)
You’ll need to adjust your diet somewhat to allow for “season eating,” consuming produce that is in season locally. For instance, you’ll see more root vegetables in the early Spring, as these are the first crops harvested each year.
Does wasting food give you anxiety?
Keep in mind that you will get produce every week. Most people who purchase a farm share find that it takes some time to incorporate all of their weekly items into their diet.
Invariably, a few items will go bad in your fridge because you couldn’t figure out how to use them, or you simply didn’t prepare as many meals as you thought you would.
If the thought of wasting some food initially makes you fret, you may want to rethink purchasing a farm share.
