Winter CSA

Season Update: Winter CSA is now available to join! It starts the first week of December! There will not be a delivery the week of Christmas (Skip 12/22 - 12/24). We decided to skip the week of Christmas and add 1 more week in May. This helps give our staff the week off and we go 1 week further into May during Strawberry season :)

Delivery Day Changes: We decided to switch the delivery days this season to help us be more efficient and provide the best CSA box possible. Our big pack day was Tuesday’s and the big delivery day was Wednesday’s for the past 5 years.

We now will be delivering and packing Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and separating the routes so we do 1/3 each day. This will allow us to pack and deliver all the CSA boxes the same day, and no boxes will be stored in our cooler. As a result, the veggies will be fresher and not sweat. We will be able to provide the best possible CSA box to our members! Onions, Potatoes, Squash, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant do not need to be refrigerated when picked fresh :)

Monday: East Baltimore County + Northeast Baltimore County

Tuesday: Baltimore City, AA County, Rodgers Forge Drop off

Wednesday: North / West Baltimore County, Howard + Montgomery County, Harford County

Update: 11/29

We use Local Food Marketplace as our CSA platform. Each member is able to log in and see all past and current orders, all payments, account balances, shop weekly items, and place holds on their subscriptions. Our weekly Online Market will be updated every Friday @ 12:30 PM. It will be open the first week of the season. Once the season starts, you will receive a weekly Email on what to expect in your box and up to date information about the season.

Delivery Holds: All delivery Holds must be placed before Friday @ Noon before your next scheduled delivery day! We require this much lead time to gather and pack the CSA shares each week. If you place your CSA subscription on Hold after the cut off time, your share will be donated and you will still be charged!

You can place any week on hold during the season at any time. Depending on your delivery day holds must be placed 3-5 days before your next scheduled delivery.
