WHAT IS A CSA?
CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture.” In this farm business model the customer commits at the beginning of the season to a share of the harvest. The CSA forms a partnership between grower and eater, both essential parts of our local food system! We have been growing for a CSA since 2019 and it is the heart of Small Farm.
Our CSA provides the customer:
- certified organic produce grown with low-till soil management practices, mostly from our 3 acre farm and occasionally from nearby organic farms to increase variety.
- a weekly newsletter with news about the farm.
- a basis for your weekly meal plan, ensuring that you are eating with the seasons and encouraging you to try new dishes and eat at home.
- knowledge that your food dollars support a mission-driven business with a goal to farm sustainably and create a positive impact on our environment and community.
- (Summer CSA only) a chance to step into our fields and harvest pick-your-own vegetables for yourself. We make sure the pick-your-own vegetables are fun ones, like sugarsnap peas and cherry tomatoes. This is many member’s favorite part of the share!
Our CSA provides the farmers:
- income at the beginning of the season to pay for supplies and early season labor.
- the ability to market produce during the winter and focus on growing during the spring, summer and fall.
- a predictable customer base to guide crop planning.
Market Style CSA:
We run a “market style” CSA. At each CSA distribution, members choose which items to take home.
Our CSA board and weekly CSA newsletter inform members which produce is available in the week’s share. Each week select a certain number of items to take home, choosing from the available list. In the Summer and Fall CSA, you can double up on veggies you love, and skip veggies you don’t need. Our Spring CSA offers a wide variety of greens, and usually no ability to double up on an item, due to the fact that all produce is coming from our high tunnels, where space is limited.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens if I’m unable to pick up my share?
Each share description details what to do if you are unable to pick up your share. Know that any extra produce will be donated weekly to Boston Area Gleaners, a fantastic food rescue organization. - Can I split a share?
Sure! There’s a spot on the sign up from to indicate this. We ask that one person coordinates all payment and that you handle the splitting of your share yourself. Please keep in mind: We design the share with a single 2-4 person household in mind. Sometimes the items are not easily split (ie: 1 head of cabbage). Several of our customers do split shares and find it works best to simply alternate pick up weeks. When stored properly, our produce can last two weeks so you won’t be without veggies! - Can I pay in installments? Yes! You will see this option available when filling out the sign up form. The Spring and Fall shares offer three installments; the Summer share offers five. The Flower shares must be paid in full. A deposit for each season must be paid at sign up to reserve your spot. You will be billed for subsequent installments on the first of the month when your share begins (ie: June 1 for the Summer CSA).
- I can’t afford to pay in full. Are there other options?
Yes! You may pay for the CSA with SNAP benefits. Please choose “Pay with SNAP” at the payment section of our sign up form. We will then email you a link so you can sign up with DTA to release funds monthly to pay for the share. All produce in our vegetable CSA shares are HIP eligible so you can apply your HIP benefits towards the CSA price as well. No SNAP benefits? We have some funds available from our community to help pay for shares! Please email us at farmer@small-farm.com to let us know which seasons you would like to sign up for and how much you are able to pay, and we’ll do our best to work something out! It’s very important to us to make our CSA affordable to all. - Do you offer work-for-shares? Yes, especially for the Summer Share, and we are looking to expand this program in 2026! Please email farmer@small-farm.com if you are interested in exchanging 4 hours of harvest work/week for the duration of the Summer season. We can only accommodate work-for-shares on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Work-for-shares will be interviewed by the farmers to make sure it’s a good fit. Work-for-shares must be able to commit to at least 13 weeks of the 20 week season.
- Do you offer volunteer hours? We hope to host a couple community volunteer days this season, such as our annual garlic planting the first weekend of November! In the meantime, we highly recommend volunteering with the Boston Area Gleaners, who we have hosted several times on the farm! We love the work they do, and they are just 5 minutes away in Acton! https://www.bostonareagleaners.org/volunteer.html
- I don’t think the CSA is right for me. Is there another way to support the farm?
Yes! And we appreciate your support! Consider helping a neighbor afford the CSA by selecting this option on the CSA sign up form (it’s okay to do this without signing up for the share yourself). Alternatively, find out about purchasing store credit HERE. Want a free way to support the farm? Simply share our social media posts with your neighborhood groups, or tell a friend about Small Farm! That really does help us! - More questions? Please email farmer@small-farm.com. We’re happy to help!
