Toledo CSA Pre-Registration is now open for 2024!
Introducing…
The weekly veggie box from your local farmer.
Imagine being a sustaining “member” of a vegetable farm, and picking up a weekly box of flavorful veggies, freshly harvested by your own personal farmer all summer long — then going home to create your own kitchen masterpiece.
Grab your chef’s knife and a bottle of wine. We’re about to explode your taste buds (and make dinner prep really exciting) with our CSA program in Toledo, Ohio.

What is a
“CSA” farm membership?
Great question. CSA is an abbreviation for Community Supported Agriculture. When you sign up for our CSA, you purchase a “share” of our produce for 18 weeks of the upcoming growing season.
Our Toledo CSA program provides an opportunity for you, the community, to invest financially in our farm at the beginning of a growing season when sales are typically at their lowest and our operating costs at their highest.
The commitment of your share helps us invest in seeds, supplies, and equipment.
It’s like Christmas every week!
What’s in the box each week?
Imagine snapping open the box lid and finding perfectly packed portions of colorful and crisp veggie goodness. Then imagine creating a simple, but tasty dinner meal using those fresh veggies that makes your family sing your praises.
As a CSA member, you receive 7-8 veggies per week — a perfect mix of must-have staples and rare artisan varieties. Your farmers curate the selection based on what’s in season, and you get exposed to all kind of fun new foods that push your boundaries and grow your palette.

“A chance to be creative.”
-MOLLIE HOJNICKI, CSA Member
Thursdays in the summer always become my favorite day of the week because it’s my CSA pick up day. I know that weekend I get to be creative and treat my box like it’s a basket on the TV show “Chopped”. I get to be adventurous , know I’m using the best ingredients, eat healthy and tasty food, and support my local community.”

Meet Farmer Kurt & Corinna
On our farm, we don’t just grow great-tasting vegetables. We help reconnect you to the story behind your food. We show you how to cook from scratch, what “real food” tastes like, and why knowing your farmer makes mealtime more meaningful. Our community of Toledo CSA foodies will support you as you create new food habits that will change the way you eat forever!
MEET YOUR FARMERS
We’re certified organic.
We go through a lot of extra steps to keep our USDA organic certification each year. Why? Because we’re raising two young boys, and we care about what they eat.
Here’s the secret to our great-tasting vegetables… we focus on building our soil.
We take our role as “steward of the land” VERY seriously. When you join our farm, you’ll know exactly where your food comes from and that it’s grown with the highest standards.
No shortcuts.
SIGN UP FOR CSAWill you love the CSA Veggie Box?…
This fall, we had 80% of our 435 members renew their membership for 2024, meaning the odds are pretty good that you’ll LOVE it. We sell out every year, so reserve your spot – the sooner, the better!
SIGN UP FOR CSAEvery week it’s awesome to see beautiful veggies in our box. The unboxing videos, weekly recipes and Facebook group are a great starting point that give me inspiration. Here I stand after 14 weeks, and I’m building meals for my family around veggies!!
Sarah Mainardi
Extremely high quality, organic produce from hard-working, local farmers and it tastes better too! It’s wonderful to be able to see the entire process from farm to table and know exactly what you are eating. We look forward to our box every week!

Is CSA right for you?
(How can you really know?)
Let’s be honest. Not everyone will click with the CSA model, and that’s okay! We want you to be successful! Lucky for you, we have a good idea of the type of person who will jive with a weekly curated box of veggies. We’ve identified the 6 questions you should ask to help you know if our CSA farm in Toledo would be right for you. Would you like to know what they are?
SHOW ME IF CSA IS RIGHT FOR ME
Add on fruit, eggs, cheese, coffee, & flowers.
When you join our CSA, you don’t just get access to our gorgeous vegetables. You also get the chance to add on lots of other local-sourced items to your weekly order. We offer weekly and bi-weekly fruit shares from local fruit growers, whole bean coffee from Maddie & Bella, eggs, artisan cheeses from Ohio cheese-mongers, plus flower blooms from Clay Hill Organics.
We make it easy to feed your family in a one-stop shop, all while supporting some of your premier locally-produced farms and businesses in Toledo.

Worried about wasting your food?
We include lots of coaching and support.
It’s normal to wonder if you’ll be able to eat all the food you get each week. In fact, the first year can be hard for our rookies. That’s why we’ve built in a pretty hefty training support system into your membership. We teach you the cooking basics and exit strategies that will turn you into the Bob Ross of cooking!
Our private Facebook group community, CSA Coach, and onboarding program is there to help guide you — providing weekly unboxing videos, storage tips, recipe ideas, and instructional videos that will shortcut your learning curve to CSA mastery!

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR TOLEDO CSA MEMBERSHIP
CAN I SWITCH MY PICK UP SITE?
YES. If you’re going to do this a lot, that’s hard for our system to handle. But if it only happens every now and then, we can accommodate it. You just need to let us know 2 days before.
DO YOU CREDIT MY ACCOUNT IF I MISS MY BOX?
No, sorry. Harvesting and packing your box translates to an investment on our part. We pay our crew to harvest and pack them, PLUS there’s the cost of the vegetables themselves. So we can’t replace the box a second time.
HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?
No payment occurs online for CSA. We ask you to mail a 50% deposit via check or bank check within 2 weeks of signup. If that’s too much, then just put a good faith deposit down, and make sure the balance is in by June 1, 2024.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I FORGET TO PICK UP MY ORDER?
If you are able to reach us via text prior to the site closing, we can hold your products and take them back to our farm, where we will hold them until Sunday night. The other option is we can bring them to an alternative pickup site happening later that week. Unclaimed boxes are donated the following Tuesday to our Food Bank partner.
