Those who can pay at the higher end of the sliding scale subsidize those at the lower end (or, choose to pay more to support our work). More information on using the sliding scale here.

Payment plans are available— just email us to set that up! This year, in partnership with the Hilltown CDC, we also have fully subsidized shares available to people who would otherwise not be able to afford a share. These are available at no cost: email us if you’re interested!

The Mission of Our CSA

Foxtrot Farm’s Healing Foods CSA invites consumers into questions about health, climate resilience, and agriculture. We ask, what does it make sense to grow right here, right now? How do we need to adapt to create more resilient farms, communities, and food networks? And, most of all, how do we build a culinary culture around these foods and adaptations with an emphasis on enjoying what we eat? We aim to never lose sight of the role pleasure plays in cooking, eating, and building community around food.

Note: As our friend Lisa pointed out: Community Supported Agriculture is, at it’s heart, about risk-sharing. As Lisa put it, “In other words participants are not just signing up to buy things but to share in the risks of farming.” Thanks, Lisa! Farmers incur a lot of risk /loss to grow food, and every season is unpredictable— especially in the era of climate change. It’s also important to note, though, that not investing in local agriculture seems a whole lot more risky these days than the possibility that our corn will get eaten by groundhogs…

And, when you sign up to share risk, you also sign on to share abundance.
