We offer: delicous local veggies weekly
Join one of our four Missoula-based farms and pick up a just-harvested selection of veggies that will keep you inspired, your food fresh, and your connection to place and people thriving.
Each week we will harvest a selection of veggies that are ripe and ready, and you will come to the farm and pick them up. We have four farms (and thus four pick up locations) to choose from within Missoula.

What’s a CSA?
Over the last 20 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs have become a popular way for people to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. It’s also a great way for the farmer to have a dedicated customer base.
The customer pays upfront for a share of the vegetables the farm will produce throughout the growing season (18 weeks of vegetables in Missoula). The early bulk payment enables each farmer to cover early season costs required to raise healthy vegetables, including purchasing seeds, growing supplies, and making equipment repairs. As a CSA member, you buy into the abundance, and sometimes the shortfalls, of the year’s harvest
