Winter CSA - Shares Selling Fast!
Stock your kitchen with local, chemical-free produce all winter long by joining our beloved Winter CSA! We will be offering SIX monthly pickups this year, November through March. Several of the pick up dates are thoughtfully scheduled to help with your holiday meal planning.

How to sign up:
The quickest way to sign up is online. To avoid credit card fees, you can sign up in person with cash or a check in the farm store with one of us. We recommend that you do not send your signup form and payment in the mail because we don't know how quickly the spots will be filled. It is first-come, first-served so if you prefer cash or check please come in person!
Why Join Our CSA?
Holcomb Farm is a nonprofit CSA that farms without chemicals or pesticides -- not even organically approved ones. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, and it is the best way to support your local farm, save money, improve your health, and liven up your dinners. CSA members pay wholesale prices before the season begins, giving us the ability to purchase seeds, maintain equipment, and hire staff (thank you!). In return, you enjoy a full season’s worth of healthy produce at a reduced cost.
We select our seed varieties for flavor, eating quality, yield, and disease resistance. Because our members receive our produce directly from the farm, hours after it is picked, we do not have to select varieties for their ability to be shipped. This allows us to emphasize flavor over shelf life, and interest over uniformity.
Lastly, you get the added benefit of belonging to a not-for-profit farm. Our mission is not revenue-driven. Our mission is to utilize this historic farm and serve our community.
When placing your order, we hope you will consider making a tax-deductible donation to Fresh Access to help feed neighbors in need. Last year, we provided approximately 27,000 pounds of vegetables and 3,500 pounds of fruit to our community partners for distribution to people in need;. And we continue to add value in the process: for every $1.00 we raise, we provide $1.40 of food (retail value) to people who need it. Please help us continue this important work. Thank you!
