Summer 2025 CSA
What’s a CSA?
CSA stands for ‘Community Supported Agriculture’, and what that term has grown to mean is a crop share program. CSA members purchase, up front, a share of the crops grown at Holiday Brook Farm during the growing season. Members then receive a portion of the produce each week in return.
By signing up early (January/Feb./March), farmers can plan the garden, purchase the correct amount of seeds and tools, and plan for their seasonal labor needs.

Market Style CSA Pick-up

Our incredible volunteer, Beth, is present at each pick up day to help you with your share. She has a book full of recipes to offer ideas with what’s in season, and has many tips on how prep, preserve or cook the many delicious vegetables you will receive each week. Beth is also knowledgeable on what is ready for harvest in the pick-your-own, and where to find everything. Thank you, Beth!
We offer many opportunities to customize your share such as our “pick 2’ option. Members can choose any two items between a variety of options (example, pick any 2: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts). The goal of our CSA is to feed you and your family, and we find that the more ways members can customize their share, the less food will go to waste from our garden.
Pick Your Own Garden
CSA members are encouraged to spend time in the pick your own garden. In addition to all of the vegetables that are washed and prepared for your share, members can harvest from the many different vegetables, herbs, and flowers planted just for you. Not only is the pick your own garden a place of community, studies have shown that spending time in a garden reduces stress and lightens your mood. Plus, food tastes better when you pick it yourself - it just does! Some of the offerings in the pick your own garden include: peas, beans, squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkins, gourds, cilantro, parsley, oregano, basil, husk cherries, tomatillos, and LOTS of flowers.
There’s more to CSA pick-up day than vegetables
CSA members are invited to enjoy all the wonderful things that Holiday Brook Farm has to offer.
‘Holiday Barn’ is open daily to visit our menagerie of farm animals. From goats and sheep, to a horse and cats, the animals in this barn look forward to visitors.
Wander the farm and find where our pasture raised cows are grazing. Cows are naturally inquisitive animals.
The pond is a beautiful spot to have a picnic or go fishing with the kids.
The hundreds of acres of forest at the farm are home to miles of hiking and biking trails. Well behaved dogs are welcome, but should be on leash around the main barnyard.
Be on the lookout for the farm greeter, “Ghost”, who likes to visit with guests. She is especially friendly during CSA pick-up times and other farm events. You may even catch a glimpse of her elusive friend “Barney”.
