We are open June–October on Tuesdays and Fridays 3–6:30pm. During these hours our farm store offers our own vegetables, eggs, and pork as well as other locally produced goods.

Pick-your-own is generally reserved for CSA members.

We would love to welcome you and your family to enjoy a share in our harvest season, which runs for 22 weeks, from June through October. Once you join our CSA, you may come to the farm weekly to fill your Natural Roots tote bag with your selection of freshly picked and washed vegetables. We also offer Part-time Shares, by which folks can come any 10 weeks out of the season, and Shopper Shares, which are basically a credit toward vegetable purchases, giving the shopper even more flexibility as far as amounts and timing. Distributions are on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 3:00-6:30pm. Please see the “What’s Included” page (in the drop-down menu below “CSA Sign-up” in the menu bar above) for many more details on what the CSA share options at Natural Roots entail.

A $100 deposit is required on most shares, or a $50 deposit for low-income applicants. Payment in full is due by May 31st.

Winter CSA info: We are pleased to offer you the option of a winter share, new as of 2017!  By adding a winter share, we’ll now be able to feed you for an additional 5 months of the year! Our plan is for winter share distributions to be every other week, (so 10 pickups in all) beginning in mid-November and wrapping up in late March. Pickup times are very flexible – come any time on any day during the pickup weeks as your schedule and driving conditions permit. The squash & sweet potatoes will come as a one-time initial distribution for you to store in your own home, and the rest will be available here throughout the winter. The share will be distributed out of the walk-in cooler attached to our barn, which should keep storage veggies snug and cozy through the winter.

The bi-weekly share will include: Winter Squash & Sweet Potatoes, Cabbages, Carrots, Potatoes, Onions, possibly Leeks, Garlic, Beets, Celeriac, Parsnips, Turnips, Rutabaga, Daikon Radishes & Watermelon Radishes, as well as some Greens for half of the time from other local farms with similar growing practices to our own. As with our regular season share, some items may be limited, and there will also be an overall poundage limit, but you will be able to customize the share to meet your needs to some extent. Please let us know if you have particular needs.
