What Is a CSA?

CSA stands for "Community Supported Agriculture." CSAs are a way for farms and the community to mutually support each another. The CSA model helps get income to farms when costs are high in the spring and supports the farm to focus on growing food for their members.
 
By subscribing to a Brady Farm CSA share you help to sustain the farm, you receive regular farm-fresh produce, and you save money. Subscriptions are called "shares" because members share the benefits and risks, and are given a voice in what is grown at the farm.

What We Grow

  CSA Share Options

Share Options

 Spring Box ($20 per week)
  May 17th - June 17th

  • You'll receive 5-6 items grown by Brady Farm. Think greens, spinach, peas and spring onions.

  • This option is great for those who are new to CSAs and would like to try it out, or those who can't commit to the full season. 

  • Home delivery Wednesdays ONLY starting May 17.

 Summer to Fall

 Farmstand Share ($360 / 20 weeks, $180 / 10 weeks)
  Available weekly or bi-weekly June 10th - October 21st

  • Choose up to 8 produce items of your choice at any of our farm stands (Valley “Tops” Plaza, Brady Farm, or Burt St./State St.). So if you really need that lemon, we'll have you covered. 

  • Available for 10 or 20 weeks. Choose one of our three farmstands as a pick-up location.

 
 Summer Share ($490 / 20 weeks, $245 / 10 weeks)
  Available weekly or bi-weekly June 10th - October 21st

  • Fresh produce grown locally right here in Syracuse by Brady Farm. Receive 7-10 items with every CSA share. One item per week will be highlighted from another local, organic farm. 

  • Available for pick-up Wednesdays at group locations and Brady Farm and Sunday at Brady Farm during our farmstand. Home delivery is also available.

 
 Grocer Box ($490 / 20 weeks, $245 / 10 weeks)
    Available weekly or bi-weekly June 10th - October 21st

  • Receive 7-12 items in each box from a combination of Brady Farm and surrounding local farms. This is the box to get if you’re looking for standard produce items that most people know how to prepare. It's the best of both worlds–lemon with your kale salad and bananas with your green smoothie. Not all items will be organic. 

  • Available for pick-up Wednesdays at group locations and Brady Farm, or Sundays at Brady Farm during our farmstand. Home delivery is also available. 

Flower Share ($154 / 14 weeks, $77 / 7 weeks)
     Available weekly or bi-weekly June 24th - September 10th

  • Receive unique weekly or bi-weekly bouquets of flowers, grown and arranged at Brady Farm. Bouquets fit into a traditional mason jar and are large enough to be one big bouquet or split into two smaller bouquets. The style and variety of flowers changes weekly based on seasonality.
