What is a CSA?
CSA stands for "Community Supported Agriculture" and is a system through which subscribers share some of the weather-related risks with the farmer in exchange for the freshest, highest quality produce available. A purchase of a "share" is made at the beginning of the season. This upfront payment supplies the farmer with necessary capital for seeds and other supplies. As soon as the first harvest arrives, subscribers begin receiving weekly bags of freshly picked seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Adverse weather can lead to crop failures. This is the risk which is shared by the subscriber with the farmer. In the event that certain crops becomes unavailable, 13 Moon Harvest may have an abundance of food to make adequate substitutions.


A season subscription also gives you benefits like free weekly recipes, free herbs, optional pick-your-own crops.

13 Moon Harvest offers CSA shares for weekly pickup at the farm for residents of the Pioneer Valley.
