The Shire's CSA Program is not available for 2022.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an unique arrangement that allows to be a part of a farm community, not just a customer.  It puts a face on your food.  By purchasing a 'Share'  at the beginning of the season, members join in the risks of farming and reap its benefits throughout the year.  Farmers and CSA members get to know one another and share in a close relationship with the land.  

400+ varieties of vegetables and fruits, including many unique experimental varieties not available at our markets.  We will cater to your desires as well.  Don't like eggplant?  Want a lot of lettuce?  We can get you loaded up with more of what you like.  

• Each weekly basket is 10-12 lbs, with more in the as the season progresses.  

• Also included in shares are many non-veggie/fruit additions, such as: Infused Honey, All-Natural Pet Treats, Extracts, Eggs, Specialty Milled grains, and more.  We are always developing new products, and we love to share it with you first!

• Each Share is 21 Weeks from Mid-May through Mid-October.  

Each CSA Share is only $450, and first payment is due before March 15th..   That's basically $20 per week for a lot of locally produced food.
