Community Supported Agriculture
2008 CSA Registration is Now Closed!
Thank you so much for your overwhelming response. Our 2008 CSA is filled to capacity. Please do not send applications anymore. If you would like to be on our waiting list for next year please send your name and contact information to csa@gatheringtogetherfarm.com. Donations to the Scholarship Fund (see below) will still be accepted.
We also encourage you to sign up for GTF Bucks. GTF Bucks are cards purchased in advance at a 10% discount which can be used at our market or farm stands. The application is available below!
 CSA
is the acronym for Community Supported Agriculture, a grass roots movement
to bring consumers into a closer relationship to their food production.
Become a member of our CSA program to receive a weekly food box full of
delicious, seasonal produce.
Gathering Together Farm's started the CSA program in 1996. Over the years
the relationships we have developed with our members have proved important
and enriching for all involved. Through our weekly newsletters, seasonal
festivals, farm tours, and conversations we offer you a rooted connection
to our farm and the food you eat.
Prefer to shop for your veggies? Try using GTF Bucks, wallet-sized cards that save you 10-15% at our farm stand and all market booths.
