Will a farm share CSA save me money?
YES!
Purchasing a CLASSIC 14-week CSA costs $30/week. When comparison shopping at local stores we total the average weekly price tag for what’s in your box at $39-$43 - and not all of it organically grown nor freshly harvested - like ours is!
On top of our delicious food, our memberships include access to a weekly "unpack your box" video, recipes, two wax boxes (that we use to deliver your products) and unlimited information on native plants, meadows and ecological landscaping!

What if there’s a crop failure? Do I get my
money back?
This is part of the risk of joining a CSA. You are investing in Mother Nature’s cooperation and in our expertise as farmers. There is no refund if there is a crop failure. Normally, though, conditions conspire for a bountiful harvest.
May I have my order delivered?
We deliver to people within the village of Skaneateles or within 8 miles of the center of town. Sign up for delivery online.
