2025 Spring to Fall CSA Open for Sign-Ups
It’s that time of year again! Our 2025 Spring to Fall CSA is officially open for 6 months of fresh, local, and chemical-free produce. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) allows community members to pay up front for a weekly share of vegetables for an entire season or year, in order to finance the labor, crop and soil investment necessary to bring them into fruition.
Last year, our farms:
- Grew over 6,000 pounds of food that we distributed to community members via our CSA and through donations to local organizations like Hyattsville Aging in Place, Meals on Wheels, and more.
- Donated 10-15 CSA shares each week to neighbors of our farms, thanks to our CSA members who opted for a Redistribution share and our partnership with the Town of Bladensburg.
- Graduated 26 farmers from our Beginning Farmer Training Program, where they dove into a holistic exploration of the socioeconomic, financial, communal, cultural, and physical realities of farming.
- Employed 3 apprentices and 5 farmer trainees on our Bladensburg and Edmonston farms, as well as at the Urban Farm Incubator.
- Welcomed 11 high school students to learn, cook, and cultivate on the farm for our farm-to-table growing and food justice education Summer Youth Program.
Our CSA is at the very core of our vision for a local food future. Our work exists to create alternatives to environmentally-destructive and labor-exploitative conventional agriculture, transferring decision making power from corporate interests into the hands of families and communities. Thank you to our CSA members, new and old, for supporting us in making this dream a reality.
We have several payment plans to meet our customers where they are, including a sliding scale payment option, upfront or month-to-month payments, and SNAP/WIC.
2/22 is CSA Day, and to celebrate, folks who sign up by 2/22 will receive a special thank you gift from our farm team at their first pick-up! Show your love for local food by signing up now to support all that we do here at ECO City Farms.
