CSA Week 17: What’s in the box?

We’ve come to the last pickup before the fall pickup, which will be Oct. 7 at Snead’s Farm for all members. We are offering a 10% discount on the 2021 CSA from now until the Oct. 7 pickup. You can find the contract for joining here, and we will be adding this option to our online store soon.

Our farm stand will close on Sept. 8. At that time, we will also close the farm to all visitors, as well as photographers, until we reopen for heirloom pumpkin picking the weekend of Sept. 19. We are working hard to create a pumpkin-picking experience that is safe for both our visitors and staff. Stay tuned for more information on what fall at the farm will look like this year.
