Eating seasonally is a delicious challenge. Our farm is about 500 acres and has diversified incredibly over its 70 years – from growing mostly apples, peaches, and tomatoes in our very first years, a deep focus on tree fruits over the next few decades, and over the past twenty years diversifying even more to grow a wide mix of tree fruits, berries, vegetables, and pumpkins. Changing times and changing business has helped drive the need to grow more and different things, and it is certainly what has allowed us to offer what has become a really lovely CSA program that provides you all with a great mix of fruits and vegetables!

Each box is filled with 5-6 farm fresh, seasonal components ranging from apples and pears, to locally grown lettuce and fall squash. We also include our own Honeycrisp Applesauce, FyreFly snitz and fresh pressed apple cider throughout the year.

With each pick-up, you’ll receive a packet filled with yummy recipes. In each recipe, ingredients that are in this week’s share will be bold-faced. Items in recipes marked with an asterisk are also available for sale in the farm market and may be added to your box for an additional charge. If you’d like to add anything to your box, just give us a call or email before you come and we’ll be happy to have it ready for you!

There’s more… we also offer a number of Add-On options for each season. Registrants also have the option of adding an Egg share, Dairy share, or a Bakery share to their CSA. These options are not available without a fruit/vegetable share registration.

• Egg Add-On ($40): Participants will receive 1 dozen eggs each week, locally produced by Weikert’s Farms.

• Dairy Add-On ($136): Participants will receive their selected ½ gallon of Apple Valley Creamery Milk along with another dairy item (ex. Cheese/butter/cream) each week. Participants will pay a $2/week bottle deposit ($16). Return your bottles to the market, or to any retailer that sells Apple Valley Creamery milk and be refunded $2/bottle at your convenience.

• Bakery Add-On ($104): Participants will receive their selected bread along with an additional bakery item – it’s a surprise! – each week.

• Fresh Flower Add-On: During the summer CSA program, you can add a fresh flower bouquet to your weekly subscription. With this option, you will receive a beautiful arrangement of flowers cut fresh from our Cut Your Own Flower field.
