About the Vegetable CSA

Community supported agriculture, or CSA, is a model of farming in which community members buy shares in the harvest directly from their farmers, often before anything is even planted. This early payment allows farmers to invest in seeds and supplies for the growing season ahead. By sharing in the harvest, CSA members take on both the risks and rewards of the season, and together we weather what nature has in store for the farm. 

Turner Farm’s Vegetable CSA began in 1997 as a workshare CSA program, meaning all members “paid” for a portion of their share by working in the fields. A central goal of Turner Farm’s CSA program has always been to deepen members’ knowledge of and connection to “where their food comes from.” 

While the CSA program has grown and changed over time to include non-workshare members, the core values of place and community remain. Members are required to come out to the farm to pick up their share each week, and are encouraged to use pickup times as an opportunity to connect with other community members, and the farm itself.

Please note:The Vegetable CSA is currently at capacity and is not accepting new members at this time. If you are interested in joining the CSA in the future, you can join the program waitlist each fall for the upcoming season. The waitlist for 2027 will open in November 2026.
