Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a cooperative effort of food distribution, a way of linking small farmers with communities all over the country. Your early dollars provide cash flow for us to buy seeds, supplies and pay our labor during the off season. We are able to plan crops and harvests to supply you with an abundance of produce throughout the year.

Our spring CSA runs March - June. Our Summer CSA begins in mid-June and continues into early October. Our tomato and fruit CSAs begin mid- July. We’ll be sure to send you a reminder email/text a week in advance so you have enough notice before we kick-off!

This is by far the hardest question to answer, since produce comes in so many shapes and sizes. See descriptions and photos on the product page of the CSA you are interested to see examples of typical content at different times of the season. So much depends on how much you eat and how many meals you eat at home. Our regular bag is recommended for two people or small households.

Need more? We offer a “Supersize me” option for the summer share.

Yes! We accept EBT/SNAP/HIP at all farmers’ markets we attend.

TO PAY FOR YOUR CSA WITH SNAP:

Step 1: Please download and complete the Stillman’s Farmstand SNAP CSA Pilot Membership Agreement.

Please send Nancy (nancy @ stillmansfarm.com) the completed agreement along with your desired pickup location. Once we verify the information is complete, you will receive confirmation that you have been successfully added to the CSA!

Yes, we offer the option to pay for your CSA in four installments. Choose that option when you're signing up for your CSA.

Members have the opportunity to take advantage of seasonal specials (including bulk discounts) through our online shop. Pre-order items to be picked up with that week’s CSA bag. Online shopping will available at most locations.

And, if you pick up at a farmers’ market location, you always have the option of purchasing extra produce. Some customers purchase an A La Carte CSA as well to purchase specific or extra items.

Anyone can pick up your box for you, so just make sure your dog walker, cat watcher, Mother-in-Law, etc has the correct first and last name to check off and we’ll gladly give them your goodies. Be suspicious if there isn’t any fruit. 😉

We also provide the option to place a vacation hold for weeks you know you'll be out of town, and allow members to double up their shares for missed weeks any time during the season.

If you have forgotten to pick up your box, Stillman’s Farm will donate your box to a charitable organization. Since the box/bag was picked and packed for you, we cannot offer an additional “make-up” box/bag at a later date. Thank you for understanding!

We do not offer cash or credit card refunds.
If you move or have another major life event that changes your CSA produce needs, Stillman’s Farm is happy to help by converting prorated CSA dollars into Stillman’s Farm Rewards to be used at any farmers’ market we attend.

Alternatively, you are welcome to transfer your share to a friend, family member or charitable organization.

No, our produce is not certified organic. We strive to grow much of our produce without any chemicals at all, not even chemicals that meet organic standards. For example, our greens are not sprayed with anything. For other crops, such as many of the fruits, we practice an intensive program of scouting and spray only when needed. Glenn is very cautious about chemical selection, so as to maintain a safe environment for our bees and amphibians…plus, we have our own children, grandchildren and pets to worry about 🙂
