Welcome!
Our 2025 CSA Share offers our members all the benefits of our traditional CSA program (pre-packed boxes, farmer chooses the items) with more flexibility, freedom, and choice! GWMG uses a market-style CSA, which means you can shop the same as you do at a grocery store, but because you're a CSA member, you already have an account filled with funds, so you don't have to worry about payment the day of market whatsoever.
You may wonder why become a CSA member when you could just come to the market and shop without paying the upfront cost at the beginning of the season. Good question! The CSA model, designed by
Dr. Booker T. Whatley, was created with strong intention to sustainably support the local farmer via the community. It's a guarantee in this tumultuous industry- agriculture- that a farmer can raise a healthy, vibrant, and efficient farm. As for the CSA member, they receive direct and personal access to the freshest produce, the farm, and the opportunity to know who's growing their seasonal produce.
It's an investment in GWMG, our local food system, and our local environment. What's so special about this investment is that you'll see with your own eyes what you've supported: 7 foot tall tomatoes, blooming marigolds and sunflowers, rows of sweet strawberries, jars of seasonal honey, bunches of just-picked herbs...
Our farmers are stewards of the land. We use regenerative practices that sequester carbon, rebuild soil health, and increase biodiversity. Farming organically and regeneratively requires much careful planning, tons of hard labor, ever-growing skilled knowledge, and a heap of significant financial investment. As a result, our prices reflect the true cost of food that’s grown with regard for the earth, but without the added costs from the middleman.
Your investment early in the season allows us to:
- purchase necessary items to kickstart our growing season. Items like seeds, potting soil, tools & equipment, etc.
- market our products in the early months, so when our growing season arrives we can focus our work on the fields
- pay our workers a fair, living wage
We offer 2 different share options, to best suit your needs and your household's ability to support our farm. - Cultivator Share $400: considered a smaller sized share for a household with 1-3 people or for folks who are new to incorporating vegetables into their diet
- Harvest Hero Share $600: *This is equivalent to our former full season 20 week program* considered a larger share size for households with 4 or more people
*If you are interested in a Solidarity Share (subsidized share), please check our website for a link to our application form*
