Thank you for visiting Abundant Harvest!
We are a membership or CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farming operation, providing a direct connection between the farmers and the people who enjoy eating fresh, seasonal produce grown at the farm.
You join our farm by purchasing a portion, or “share,” of the season’s bounty. In return for your financial support early in the season, we plant and nurture an assortment of vegetables, herbs, some fruit and flowers. From May to November, we harvest the produce at its peak of flavor. You pick it up, fresh and convenient!
As a member, you get to know who’s growing your food and the methods we use. You have the satisfaction of knowing that your food is free from chemical fertilizers, pesticides and genetic engineering. Your membership supports locally- grown, high quality, custom-harvested food, and it benefits us all.
Joining our farming operation is ideal if you are interested in eating seasonally, and supporting local farmers. We are growing a strong community in addition to growing healthy food!

* This sample CSA share is a snapshot week during the season. Each growing season has its unique challenges. On occasion a crop may fail due to conditions beyond our control. To diversify the risk, we grow a wide range of crops so that if some do not do so well, there will still be a variety of food to fill your basket each week, all season long. As members of the farm we all share the risks and rewards of the growing season.
In return for your financial support early this season, we will be busy planting and nurturing an assortment of vegetables, herbs, some fruit and flowers for your weekly bounty. We look forward to sharing a fun and fruitful growing season. Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.
