As we harvest and eat our way through the seasons, our vegetables will reflect subtle and obvious changes from June to September. We aim to include a variety of cooking and cut greens, root vegetables, alliums, and fruiting crops every week. For an extensive list of our seasonal crop variety, read our harvest calendar here.

Our flowers become available in July and we encourage you to pick-your-own bouquets in the front garden from then until September. We will grow zinnias, cosmos, sunflowers, and a few other exciting types. In the fall, we will harvest dahlias for you to purchase as an add-on to your share.

Medium shares include 7-8 vegetable items a week whereas Full shares include 11-12 vegetable items. Both share sizes include pick-your-own flowers and herbs beginning in July.

When deciding which size is best for you, we recommend thinking about how many people the CSA share will feed, and how often they eat or cook with vegetables:

Medium shares are designed for 1-2 people who prepare some of their meals at home. Medium shares receive less volume than Full shares, but will choose from the same produce options as Full shares.

Full shares are ideal for 2+ people who prepare the majority of their meals at home and/or rely on a plant-based menu. Full shares are larger in volume and will have priority on vegetables just coming in (first couple weeks of tomatoes) or that are limited in the case of a crop failure.

We have designed these share sizes thanks to CSA Member input over the last two years. Let us know if we can help you think through your CSA size, we are happy to chat!

We are thrilled to host you at the farm in South Portland every week for on-farm pickups! CSA pickup times will be Mondays 2pm, Wednesdays 2-6pm, (based on demand, we will add Fridays 2-6pm). There is parking available at the farm, and we are accessible to walkers and bicyclers as well. We are located a few steps from the 24B bus stop on Highland Ave and a five minute walk from the 24A bus stop on Broadway at Evans St. More bus route details here.

Every Saturday morning during the CSA program, you will be sent a newsletter that includes the week’s harvest. On your chosen CSA pickup day (you choose at checkout, and can email me to make changes) you will select from a market-style display exactly what vegetables you want to take home. Beginning in July, you will also be able to pick-your-own flowers and some herbs from the front garden. Medium shares can choose 7-8 "items" and Full shares choose 11-12. Some weeks there might be a limit like, "Please only take one head of lettuce" right when they are starting to size up, but otherwise if you want 3 of your 9 items to be 3 heads of lettuce that's fine! "Items" = one bunch of carrots, one bag of salad greens, one pint of cherry tomatoes, etc.

ANother perk of the CSA is the ability to purchase add-ons. We are working hard to bring you a selection of products from peer farmers and food producers like ethically-raised meats, eggs, honey, and more.

Medium shares = $575 for 7-8 veggie items + pick-your-own flowers and herbs starting in July. This comes to an average value of $35.90/week.

Full shares = $750 for 11-12 items + pick-your-own flowers and herbs starting in July. This comes to an average of $46.80/week

We grow following all organic practices and go beyond the base requirements to grow as ecologically and ethically as we can. We are not yet certified- but hopefully we will have big news come 2025!
