CSA Farms in Bucks County, PA

Consumers have many choices today when it comes to fresh food: farmers markets, independent retailers, supermarkets and increasingly direct-to-your-door services.

So why choose to buy a share from a local farm?

In short, it’s a way for you to…

        • Directly support a local, family owned farm;
        • Receive fresh, organically grown food seasonally and;
        • Support our local food system.

When you buy a CSA share, the farmer makes a larger profit (than distributing via other sources) and has the cash early in the season to purchase needed supplies and labor.

It’s “paying it forward” for all the delicious food you’ll be eating in the coming months.

What is a CSA?

Most CSAs are farms, and involve vegetables herbs, fruits and flowers, although other types – bread, meat, fish – are popping up all the time, here and in other parts of the country. The first CSA in Bucks County – Anchor Run Farm – opened fourteen years ago. Now there are fourteen CSAs available to Bucks County residents.

We are fortunate to have a healthy crop of CSAs in Bucks County (and nearby) too. And most use organic, or nearly organic, methods of farming. In fact, Blooming Glen Farm, Anchor Run Farm and Roots to River Farm are now certified organic by the USDA.

How does it work?

In the traditional model, CSA members purchase a “share” per season (season usually begins in late May and ends in mid-November), which entitles your household to a weekly or bi-weekly portion of produce, grown on that farm.

More choices, more flexibility

Increasingly, CSA farms are offering more choices for the convenience of the consumer. So, for example, some offer a “market” share, where you purchase a debit card for a specified dollar amount and then choose which vegetables and how much you want, when you want it.

Many CSAs also offer multiple locations to pick up your share, not just on the farm.

And more and more farms are offering winter CSA shares too, full of hardy greens, root vegetables and other local food products.

And it’s not just about produce. In Bucks County, we now have a bread and baked goods CSA (Bread Box & Bakery) and a meat CSA (Hershberger Heritage Farm) too. Many CSAs also offer “add-on” shares of eggs, flowers and other locally grown food.

Why do it?

Everything they say about eating fresh, LOCAL vegetables is true: they taste so much better, they last so much longer, and the variety is delightful. And research has shown that local, organically grown produce is more nutrient dense.

“Those who want to get the most nutritious fruits and vegetables should buy regularly from local organic farmers.” Scientific American

Vegetables we had given up on – like radishes – were happily welcomed back into our home. We made new friends, like garlic scapes (the top green part of growing garlic, available for a brief time in the spring).

Another aspect of belonging to a CSA is that you truly cook seasonally because that is what you are picking up each week.

How do I sign up?

The best time to sign up for a CSA is during the winter. Do NOT wait until May. Most CSAs will have sold all their shares by then. Many CSAs offer bonuses and discounts for signing up earlier.
