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.
CSA 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.

Summer Share ($490 / 20 weeks, $245 / 10 weeks)
