Use our map below to find CSA farms near you
If you’re searching for a CSA near me, you’re not alone. More people than ever are looking for ways to eat fresher food, support local farms, and reconnect with where their food comes from. One of the best ways to do that? Join a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
In this post, we’ll break down what a CSA is, the benefits of joining one, and how to easily find local CSA farms using the Red Hen App—plus a few bonus perks you’ll get when buying direct.
What Is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. When you join a CSA, you’re purchasing a share of a farm’s upcoming harvest. Typically, you’ll receive a box of fresh, seasonal produce every week or two throughout the growing season.
Some farms also offer add-ons like:
Eggs
Dairy
Bread
Meat
Herbs or flowers
CSAs allow farmers to receive income at the start of the season, and you get farm-fresh food regularly while supporting your local economy.
Why Join a CSA? What to Know Before You Sign Up
CSA programs vary widely, so it helps to know what you're getting into before you commit. Most CSA shares cost between $25 and $50 per week, depending on the farm, your region, and the size of the share. A half share works well for one to two people, while a full share typically feeds a family of four. Most CSA seasons run between 12 and 24 weeks, usually from late spring through fall, though some farms offer winter shares or year-round options.
One of the most common concerns new CSA members have is receiving vegetables they don't recognize or know how to cook. Most farms handle this by including a weekly newsletter or recipe card with their boxes, and many post seasonal recipes on their website. It's one of the unexpected benefits of joining a CSA — you end up cooking more creatively and eating a wider variety of whole foods than you would at a grocery store.
It's also worth knowing the difference between a vegetable-only CSA and a full farm share. A standard CSA focuses on seasonal produce. A full farm share — sometimes called a farmstead share — adds eggs, meat, dairy, or artisan products depending on what the farm raises. If you're looking for a complete farm-to-table experience, search specifically for farms offering multi-product shares. You can find both types on our farm map, which lists regenerative farms offering CSA programs across the United States.
