WHAT IS CSA?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. When you join a CSA, you are buying a 'share' or becoming a ‘member’ in a farm's season before it begins. By being a CSA member, you’re supporting a farm’s growing season with your upfront payment (whether it be a deposit, full payment, payment plan, anything helps!). This model is so helpful for getting a small-scale farm started. Especially through the late winter and early spring months when there aren’t vegetables or herbs to sell. And for when the bills and costs are rising!

What do you get as a CSA member? Well, you’ll receive a share of extremely fresh vegetables and herbs weekly. All of which is harvested fresh the day before or day of. At a time when most grocery store food travels from states away, sits in the back of vehicles for days on end, and then hits the store shelves. Your share delivery from Odd Crop will have been picked, cleaned, and packaged within 24 hours. Plus, our weekly share costs are less than most grocery stores! And oh the flavor. We can’t tell you how many times we’ve heard about the flavor of our produce, and that brings us immense joy.

  • At Odd Crop we use only organic growing practices and standards at our farm. We are not certified because this is our first production year and it takes at least 2-3 years to qualify for certification. When that time comes we will see if it is worth the hefty fee.

    We do not and never will use any chemical pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers or non-food grade materials at the farm. Smitty our friend and landowner has followed the same practices for 27 years, so you can be assured that we are about the health of the land and you.

    To be fully transparent, we believe we do even more than the standards of organic certification with crop rotations, cover crops, minimal tilling, hand-tended beds, intercropping, and more. Smitty doesn’t even burn wood in our furnace that isn’t from our farm.

    For us, we aren’t about just pretty looking and fast growing vegetables. It’s about the nutritional content and overall health.

  • Typically our CSA shares will begin the second week of June, but for this first production year, we will begin deliveries in mid-July and end in late October/early November.

  • Each week it’s different! But you can always expect peak season vegetables and herbs, so whatever is looking the best and in prime condition that week.

    In the Small Share, you will receive 4-6 different vegetables and herbs in your box, and in the Large Share you will receive 7-9 different vegetables and herbs. The options will change every week so that you can experience the range of varieties that we grow, and to enjoy the seasonality of rich, peppery spring flavors, hot/bold summer foods, and the hearty comfort of fall root and greens.

  • At checkout we will ask for all the necessary information required to deliver your share to you.

    Delivery days are offered twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday afternoons. Your share will be delivered in a cardboard box, paper bag or in our CSA reusable tote bag if you opt for that option.

    Delivery Hours:
    Tuesday (4:00-7:00pm)
    Friday (2:00-7:00pm)

  • Well, we truly hope not. But if one crop fails, our plan is in place to have multiple replacement options to move ahead with.

    If something extremely bizarre happens like our entire farm gets wiped out by extreme weather, flood or disease than we will replace your share items with local veggies and herbs from other nearby farms. The delivery dates and CSA would still follow, so you'd still receive your share every week. No loss for you!

  • Yes, absolutely reach out! We want everyone to be able to have access to high quality, slow grown food. We offer payment plans and are actively working to set up community funded shares for folks who do not have the extra income to participate.

    We are here to feed our neighbors.
