What is Community Supported Agriculture?
Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a cooperative effort of food distribution, a way of linking small farmers with communities all over the country.


Why do CSAs exist?
Because you, the consumer, are looking for a good product and farmers are looking for the economic benefit of marketing their produce directly. CSA also benefits the farmer by producing positive cash flow during the late winter when the farmer needs to buy seeds and supplies to begin the spring growing season.

What are the benefits of CSA?
CSA benefits you by providing a constant supply of produce locally grown and offered at the peak of ripeness and absolute freshness. Small farmers are able to grow produce that is better tasting than that of large commercial farms, which often grow fruits and vegetables designed to be mechanically harvested and transported greater distances.

Another great benefit of being a member of Stillman's CSA is you know you are contributing to a farm that donates over 22,000 pounds of produce to area food banks and shelters every year!

How does the CSA work ?

At the farm, a box of produce will be hand packed for each of our subscribers. The box will be delivered every week to a designated pickup location in our subscribers' communities. Stillman's offers a huge selection of fruits and vegetables! Of course, we'll keep you well-stocked with the necessities too.

A $300 membership box in July might contain:1 pint blueberries, one half dozen corn, a head of lettuce, assorted squash, 1 pound tomatoes, 1 pound peas or beans, two cucumbers...
A $450 members box would be similar, containing not only a greater quantity, but also larger variety of items per week. In addition there are be plenty of opportunity to order extra seasonal produce for any special recipes you may have: all this and delivered to your area.

The season generally begins toward the end of June and continues through October. We do love our variety, but there are no guarantees in farming. Some of the items you may expect to find in your box each week:
