How Our CSA Works

At Down to Earth Harvest, we honor the traditional values of the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) model while offering a modern, flexible experience for our members. We make it easy to connect with local food while supporting sustainable farming practices. Join our High-Season Farm Share subscription to ensures a personalized experience and direct access to the freshest, seasonal produce.

Please note that a Farm Share subscription creates a default ‘Farmer’s Choice Share’ ($29) order based on the schedule of your choice (every week or every other week). Members are able to remove the default order and place a custom order up until the order deadline.

Members may place holds on their account as needed to avoid having the default order placed in their cart.

Harvest begins May 14th and runs through Thanksgiving

How it works:

Become a Member

  • Register through our online sign-up

  • Choose your pick-up location and order frequency

  • Make a $100 deposit to reserve your space (membership is limited)

Place Orders

  • Once our harvest season begins in May, members login each week to our online farm market to place their order for the week. The farm market is stocked with a range of produce from our farm and other local producers every Sunday.

  • Members choose the items they would like to purchase each week. Down to Earth Harvest uses organic production methods and curates chemical free and conventional produce from other trusted growers. All produce is source-identified with the producers growing practice listed.

  • We also offer a Farmer’s Choice option for members who would rather leave it up to us to curate a well-rounded share for them. This is a great way for members to trust a farmer to help them make eating well easy and delicious.

Pickup & Enjoy!

  • On pick-up day, our team packs your order in our reusable totes and deliveries to a neighborhood near you. Simply find the tote with your name, remove the bag, and stack the tote neatly off the the side. Your account is debited the following day.
