Sign up today to ensure you receive weekly produce shares fresh from the farm!
Our CSA Options
You may elect to mix the types of share(s) to suit your family's needs.
Full Shares: | Fruit | Vegetables
Half Shares: | Fruit | Vegetables
For a sample of what’s included in these shares, check out our What’s Growing page, or click here to see what one of our CSA families documented for a previous season when they ordered a half-share of fruit, vegetables and flowers (flowers not available this year).
We partner with other local growers to supplement our crops when necessary to expand how many vegetables you receive in your CSA share every week.

You can pick up your CSA shares at the farm in Amanda or at one of our weekly farmers markets, or you can take advantage of delivery in the Amanda/Lancaster area, as well as the Columbus area! Contact Farmer Brian to see if your address is available for delivery, and to organize the details.

What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
A CSA is a partnership between the farmer and community. Families and individuals who join the CSA will receive "shares" of produce each week during the growing season (late-May to about mid-October). Most share pick-ups will be at the farmers markets we attend. We also offer FARM pick-ups on Tuesday. This share will consist of weekly bags of fresh fruit and vegetables, depending on the type of share that is purchased. This ensures high-quality, exceptionally fresh produce to members with delivery within a day of harvest.
In exchange, the CSA member signs a contract for the season. They agree to pay in advance, and may elect to help with some of the work of the harvest by distribution of the produce to the pick-up areas. The CSA member shares in the risks and the rewards of small-scale farming such as weather, insect damage and bumper crops.

What Can I expect from Paige's Produce CSA?
The weekly harvest share varies from week to week, sometimes even daily. You will get an assortment of five-nine items for full shares. Half shares will get similar variety and half the portion of a full share.
In the early season, in May and June, we will have a light sampling of the crops listed on our What's growing page. Please note these are the things planted in March and April, so spring rains can cause delays in planting.
Fruit shareholders may receive strawberries, blueberries, peaches, pears, apples and blackberries in the late-summer and early autumn.
**Please note that full shares may vary in variety as well as amount, due to the limitations of the crop yields.
**Please keep in mind, these are examples of our typical share. Depending on weather and other growing conditions, the varieties and amounts of items may change from week to week or even day to day. This is what makes a family CSA farm unique for its members. You are truly getting the freshest food as it is picked for you within a day of delivery.
