“I love this CSA. Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life with these beautiful veggies. The half share was great value and the perfect quantity for my wife and I. Picking up our haul every other week was always something we looked forward to. ”
here’s how it works
We set up farmer's market style at your pickup location and you arrive during the pickup window to pack your share. An Owl's Nest Farmer is present to provide instructions, answer questions, and swap recipes. Interested in our Market CSA? Learn more here.
Choose full share or half share.
Full share
Full shareholders pick up every week. Each share includes 7-10 produce items and for 2-5 of the items, you'll usually have a choice.
Full shares are a great choice for larger families and for folks who want to get the most veggies for their money.
See sample shares from previous seasons here.
half share
Half shareholders pick up every other week. The share size is the same - half shareholders just pick up less often.
It's a great choice for folks who are trying a CSA for the first time and folks who travel on a regular basis.

“ I loved the variety in food, the amount we receive in a half share, the recipe ideas that are sent in the emails, and the flexibility in pick up was a life saver. ”
Consider our sliding SCALE
We want the food we grow to be enjoyed by all kinds of people. Local, organic food is often only affordable and accessible for people with wealth and privilege.
So for us, a sliding scale is a tool for building economic justice that invites our CSA members to consider their relationship to class, income, and privilege when paying for their membership.
We offer a managed sliding scale with three options for CSA shares:
Market rate CSA shares
Lower-income/wealth option: 20% less than market rate
Higher income/wealth option: 20% above market rate
You can choose which price you pay for your CSA in 2025. Read more here.
“I loved chatting with folks at pick up and pushing myself to try new recipes with my veg assortment at home.”
donate to our food access fund
Since 2019, we’ve been working to share more of our produce with folks who couldn’t otherwise afford it.
Consider contributing along with your CSA purchase! Donations are totally optional, but not currently tax deductible.
