About Our CSA Veggie Box Program

In addition to supplying supermarkets, restaurants and regional institutions with fresh, local food (check out our map of who’s buying local!), we also deliver to individual community members through a local vegetable subscription, known as our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Veggie Box program.

How It Works

CSA members (that’s you!) purchase a local vegetable subscription known as a “share” of what our farmers plan to grow prior to the start of the growing season and select a community delivery site. Once the season begins, we deliver your share of each week’s harvest to your site, where you pick it up and take it from there.

What To Expect

You can expect a variety of fruits, veggies and herbs in your share each week, all organically grown and freshly harvested. Because everything is grown locally, what’s in your share during any given week depends on where we’re at in the season and what the weather looks like that week.

The growing season in Montana is different from that in California! Shares tend to be smaller and less varied in the first few weeks of the season and grow larger and more varied as the season progresses.

What Makes Us Special

Quality

All of our produce is either organically grown or produced using sustainable practices and is harvested within a day or two of you receiving it, meaning it’s fresh, fresh, fresh!

Variety

As a multi-farm CSA program, we can offer a much wider variety of items than a typical single-farm CSA program, including fruit! A typical season includes apples, berries, cherries, melons, pears, and plums.

Convenience

On top of offering 20+ delivery sites, CSA members can also purchase add-on shares, to be delivered with their regular produce share (every week or every other week, depending on the item). These add-ons include eggs, milk, cheese, bread, and coffee—all produced locally!

Join our CSA
in 3 Easy Steps:

  • Choose one of our main veggie shares: large or small, then summer or extended.

    We recommend small shares for 1-2 people and large shares for 2+ or if you eat a lot of vegetables

  • Decide if you’ll include any add-on shares like eggs, milk, cheese and more!

    Some add-ons are delivered every week and some ar delivered every other week.

  • Pick a delivery site where you’ll grab your weekly veggie box.

    We conveniently offer over 20 sites in Western Montana including 11 in Missoula!

2024 Share Options & Prices

We offer two sizes of our local vegetable subscription (aka CSA share): large and small. Wondering which size is right for you? As a general guideline, we recommend a small share for 1-2 people and a large share for any more than that or if you really like your fruits & veggies! You can expect 5-10 items per week in a small share and 7-12 in a large share. Our large shares do contain more fruit and specialty items such as berries and heirloom tomatoes so if you’re really excited about those items, consider a large share (you can always find a friend or neighbor to share with if you’re worried about it being too much!).

Please note that these are general guidelines only—the best way to determine which size is right for you is to look at the week-by-week photos of both share sizes from our most recent season or check out our Instagram page!
