ORGANIC CSA

FRUIT SHARE SUBSCRIPTIONS

One small step to support a resilient local food system

Become a Part of Our Farm!

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a mutually beneficial harvest sharing model, based on a relationship between Farmer and Customer. Rather than simply purchasing fruit, customers become “Supporting Subscribers” of the farm, and in trade receive a portion of the harvest.

Supporting subscribers like you, provide smaller operations like Home Orchard Education Center with essential funding needed to make the season’s harvest possible. Proceeds from this program help keep the gates to our well loved arboretum open, and support our mission to provide affordable, fruit focused education to the community.
