CSA Frequently Asked Questions

No, Haffey Family Farm is not certified organic but we do use organic and sustainable farming methods.

Our Spring CSA Season is 8 weeks. Our Summer CSA season is 14 weeks long.

For the Summer CSA, there are two catagories, that can be delivered either weekly or bi-weekly.
Small – ideally for an individual, a couple, or a very small family –
Large– ideally for a family of about 4 to 6

The base items are determined by the harvest schedule for the week. However, substitutions may be made due to allergies, etc by request to the farm with 24 hour notice prior to pick up day. Additional items can also be pre-ordered by contacting the farm (24 hour pre notice) and will be brought to your pick up site. NOTE: The first weeks of the CSA Produce Box may be lighter or green heavy. Please do not worry! As produce production picks up through the season, you can expect to see the full amount or even extra in your later boxes.

Community Supported Agriculture

Think of a CSA as a subscription service for fresh vegetables, fruits and locally harvested goods. Technically a CSA is a crop-sharing program that connects you, the consumer, directly with us, the farmers. In return to subscribing to the harvest, you will receive a weekly or bi-weekly box full of fresh and locally grown items.

Direct relationship with the grower of your food
Fresh, local and sustainable produce
Opportunities to try new foods
Tips on storing, preparing and meal ideas for your produce are provided in our CSA Weekly Newsletter.
