2026 Home Delivery CSA with free delivery is OPEN.
Our newly designed CSA will complement our off season biweekly delivery schedule.
Our Big Box Bushel of produce is filled with at least 10 bunches or quarts of produce. A list of crops in our plan is here. We do have crop failures from time to time that can impact availability.
The first week of biweekly delivery will be either July 8 or July 15 depending on where your home is within our delivery area. It will continue biweekly for 8 deliveries and end in October. The shares include at least ten items from our garden, and have the same quality you have come to expect.
Our weekly CSA will start July 8 and continue for 16 deliveries. This is only available for Buffalo and its suburbs. A weekly share should purchase two shares here.
If you desire more vegetables and don’t live within the weekly delivery area, consider ordering two shares. The shares are fresh and if properly stored they will last two weeks.
After you sign up and pay for your share, we will send you an add on menu in March that you can use to add on to your summer deliveries from many options including tree fruits, milk, eggs, meats and prepared items from The Heritage Kitchen. Payment for the add ons will be due in April.
We will be starting our CSA deliveries later this coming year, after many complaints about getting only greens and spring crops. If you would like a greens and spring crop share in June, it will be available for order on our website and will be delivered like our regular shares.
The late springs the last two years have made filling those early shares very hard and stressful. We also have a high percentage of share members trying to juggle vacation plans and deliveries around July Fourth week.
The fruit shares this coming year will only be tree fruits. We will start with cherries, plums and apricots. Peaches, plums and nectarines will be our summer fruits. Apples, pears and prune plums will finish out the fall.
If you want strawberries, blueberries and grapes you will need to source them on your own. Local farms are keeping these specialty berry crops for their own customers and not making them available to us. Sourcing berries has been a large stressor for us this past year and it has gotten very expensive, an expense we don’t want to pass on to you.
Vacation share cancelations will be converted to a market CSA account balance instead of makeup shares. This value will allow you to get things from market or order items from our website for delivery with a share delivery. We need to know a week ahead of time to do this so we don’t pick and pack your share and waste the produce. Confusion and record keeping around vacations has been a huge challenge for us and we needed to make it easier for everyone.
The number of shares we will do this year will be limited. I anticipate that we will sell out fairly quickly, so if you want to be included please do it soon.
Early Signups are due by December 5 to be eligible for a free holiday share to be delivered on December 10.
