“We love having fresh greens in the winter! ”
Here’s how our CSA pickups work
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.
With your winter CSA you’ll get delicious produce when local options are limited, including greens of all sorts, carrots, roots like radishes and turnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, garlic, scallions, herbs, broccoli, and more. We'll source some items from farmer friends, but always let you know where they're from.

“We love fresh, local produce. Having produce selected for you expands your diet and forces you to cook new recipes. In winter, a CSA has more variety than the market. The price was also pretty competitive with the market.
