FAQs
What is a CSA?
CSA stand for Community Supported Agriculture. Community members sign up for a “share’ in our farm. Every week for 22 weeks, from mid June through mid November, they get to pick out their own veggies at a free choice/ market style pick up at one of our 3 locations. Not only do they receive delicious and nutritious produce, but they also get access to behind the scenes photos and stories about the farm through our weekly newsletter and private facebook group. Eat healthy while supporting your local economy. It’s a WIN-WIN!
How much does it cost to join the CSA?
Prices vary based on size. We have 3 sizes. Small shares are $20 /week. Regular shares are $25/week. Veggie Lover shares are $30 / week.

Can you delivery my CSA share to my house or neighborhood?
Unfortunately, we are not doing deliveries at the moment. We will let you know when and if that changes.
What does free choice / market style pick up mean?
At free choice / market style pick ups, members get to choose which vegetables they take home. Instead of just receive a pre-packed share of veggies that we choose, you get to hand pick all the items in your share. We find that this maximizes customer satisfaction!
Can I split a CSA share with a friend or family member?
Yes, of course you can. When you sign up, be sure to put in a secondary email so you can both receive all the info.
Can I join the CSA after the season has already started?
Yup! Sign up anytime. The cost will automatically be pro-rated, so you only have to pay for the weeks after you sign up.
What products will you have at the farmers market this weekend?
As the seasons change and farming is always unpredictable, unfortunately we can’t guarantee what will be available from week to week.
Can I reserve veggies to be picked up at the market?
We can’t hold items for anyone, but we do allow for pre-orders. If you are interested, please send us an email at help@mainstreetfarms.com for more information.
Do you sell products at the farm?
No. Unfortunately we do not sell any products off the farm.
Can I come for a tour?
At the moment, no. But we hope to offer farm tours again soon. Please don’t just show up at our farm. It is a working farm, with lots of equipment driving around. We care about your safety, so please contact us before showing up.
Can I hire you as a consultant?
