Community Supported Agriculture

What is a CSA share?

A farm’s CSA program is where individuals can choose to support the farm by purchasing a share in the farm at the beginning of the year. There are a set number of available shares each year. The purchase of a share supports the farm at the beginning of the year when the farm is putting out a large sum of money for seeds and supplies for the year. In return, the farm promises to do there best to supply a set amount of vegetables over a set period of time. CSAs have become a popular way for consumers to buy local and seasonal produce directly from the farm. 

How does Penn Farm’s CSA work?

We have extended our CSA!

The CSA at Penn Farm is from June 24 thru September 23 this year (14 weeks).  On Tuesdays from 12-5, shares are picked up at the Farm Stand on Frenchtown Road (Rt. 273) at the farm. By participating in our CSA or “buying a share”, you will receive fresh produce weekly. A share is usually enough for a family of 4 to have vegetables throughout the week. This is a generalization as some families eat more or less vegetables.

Our CSA is a great way for Penn Farm, William Penn High School, and Colonial School District to provide a valuable service to our community. In return, this serves as a method of monetary support for Penn Farm and our Agriculture Related Programs at William Penn High School & Colonial School District.
