The Seasonal Eats CSF will provide our subscribers with local, seasonal foods, recipes, first access to seasonal favorites, and more! Subscribers will enjoy a bountiful array of fresh, locally farmed produce, artisanal value-added foods, premium pastured/grass-fed meats (for the omnivore selection), and culinary delights curated just for you. The contents of a share will vary biweekly depending on what is seasonally available within our local network.
Every other Friday from May 16 - August 22 2025. Pick-up days are on Friday afternoons to close or the following Saturday mornings. For optimal freshness, we recommend pick-ups on Fridays if possible.

We have two options for our Seasonal Eats CSF
THE OMNIVORE
This subscription includes locally farmed produce, artisanal pantry items, premium pastured/grass-fed meats, and/or locally baked goods. Each share is thoughtfully curated to inspire your culinary adventures with themed groupings of food items to help bring creativity to your meal prep and planning. Plus, we'll provide accompanying recipes, offering the ideal starting point for crafting delicious meals.

This subscription includes locally farmed produce, artisanal pantry items, and/or locally baked goods in our vegetarian subscription. Priced and sized equivalently to the Omnivore option, the Vegetarian share includes additional non-meat items of equal value to the featured meat item of the week.
