Area churches, in partnership with RAFI (Rural Foundation Advancement International) are joining again to support local Black and brown farmers through the Farm to Church CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). We are working with Madeline and Elvin Eaton of
Fairport Farms to provide a weekly bag of produce (also called a share) for those in the CSA.
How big is a share?Each full share is designed for four people with each weekly delivery providing a serving of veggies for each person for approximately 6 meals.
Can I get a half share?Yes! You will get half as much as described above. Or you can partner with someone else and get a share (or half share) every other week. If this is the case make sure just one partner signs up.
How much does the CSA cost?The cost for a full share is $300 for 8 weeks of produce or $37.50/week. Half shares are $150
What types of food will be in the bag?Food will be seasonal so it will vary depending on what is ready to eat. Spring foods include greens, onions, cabbage. broccoli and radishes. Summer foods include tomatoes, peppers, squash and eggplant. Fall foods include greens, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts and bok choy.
How will I get the bag?Our farmer delivers the produce on Friday mornings at 11 am. The food is then sorted and placed in a bag in the Fellowship Hall fridge for pick up when ever you are able. Most folks usually pick up when they come to the worship service on Sunday morning.
What about eggs, chicken & pork?
We partner with Lakay Farm to offer fresh
eggs, chicken and pork products! Because the chickens haven't started laying yet and meat processing takes place in April, eggs and meat will only be available on April 24 and May 8. You can order eggs or meat without the veggies if you wish.
When will we start getting bags?The 2026 spring shares will begin March 20 and will run for 8 weeks afterwards until May 15 (with a week off for Easter).
Why should I sign up for a CSA instead of just buying what I want at the Farmers Market or grocery store?By participating in a CSA you will be
- Supporting a local farmer and developing a relationship with the people who grow your food
- Eating seasonally and trying new foods (we can start a recipe sharing group!)
- Sharing the risk with the farmer instead of putting all of the risk on them
- Eating fresher more nutritious food that is picked within 24 hours of delivery
How do I sign up?Use the form below to sign up. When you submit you will be given details for payment. There are a limited number of shares so don't wait to sign up. All payments for spring shares must be received by September 18
