Land's Sake's CSA program connects you with your food. We plant, grow, and harvest vegetables knowing the shareholders who will take them home. From June - October, we see'll you weekly and experience the beauty of the farm change throughout the seasons. Being a Land's Sake CSA Shareholder feels—and tastes—great!
Purchase a CSA share and enjoy the freshly harvested, locally grown produce each week. Land's Sake uses many sustainable farming methods, and avoids synthetic chemicals (herbicides, fertilizers), growing produce that is healthier for people and safer for the land. CSA shares create fewer food miles, less waste, and more transparency between you and your food. Make a pre-season commitment to the farm, and receive the best value for your dollar!

10am-2pm
Land’s Sake CSA shareholders collect their vegetables weekly at the Farmstand's CSA area, on their scheduled day (Tuesday 2-6pm, Thursday 2-6pm, or Saturday 10am-2pm). The "pick-your-own" portion of the share is included, and may be picked any time of the week during farmstand hours. Check in with CSA or farmstand staff for details on the week's PYO selection. Bring your re-usable Land's Sake Farm cup for PYO flowers.
Being a Land's Sake CSA Shareholder is a win-win-win for you, the farm, and the earth
- Better flavor and more nutrient-rich produce: in most cases, produce finds its way to your kitchen within a day of being picked.
- Variety and the opportunity to try new things: along with the tried and true favorites, we also give you heirloom and more unusual produce varieties.
- The ability to get to know your farmers!
- Fresh air connection to the land when you and your family visit the farm to pick up your CSA
- Experience farming first-hand as you pick your own flowers and fresh herbs each week
- We get to know the people we grow food for.
- We get early and better cash flow as we plan for a new season: early payments from shareholders means enough money to buy seeds, farm supplies, and plan for labor expenses at the start of the season.
- When we know who we are growing for we can plan the use of resources more efficiently, which means less waste of money and of crop.
- Support from CSA shareholders gives us the freedom to grow a greater variety of produce, including heirloom varieties.
- Lower food miles: pickups on the same land that the food was grown on mean less CO2 emissions from the energy required to transport and refrigerate produce across long distances.
- The sustainable farming methods we use help the soil remain productive for this generation and those to follow. We manage healthy nutrient cycling and balance in the soil without using harmful chemicals. We use crop rotation and cover crops for soil health; we maintain habitat for beneficial insects; we use disease-resistant crop varieties when available, and, when needed, we use organic fertilizers and OMRI-certified pesticides.
- Charitable food donations are a fundamental part of Land’s Sake’s history. Each year, we donate a significant portion of our crops to hunger relief organizations that can distribute our produce where it's needed most. Our hunger relief efforts provide fresh produce to food pantries, shelters, nutrition and cooking education programs, and food access programs. This produce comes from a variety of sources on the farm, such as subsidized CSA shares harvested each week, a veggie voucher program for Weston seniors, bumper crops, extra vegetables from the Farmstand, unclaimed shares from the CSA tent, and gleaning harvests from our fields. It's our goal that no vegetables go to waste each season. Learn More about our Hunger Relief Program.
