Eat Fresh. Without Rearranging Your Life.
Flexible membership and local delivery — so healthy, seasonal vegetables fit your busy week while strengthening local food close to home.
Healthy Meals Shouldn’t Feel This Hard
You want to serve fresh, healthy meals — but busy schedules, rigid CSAs, and bland grocery store produce can make it harder than it should be.
Between work, family commitments, and everything else on your plate, shopping for seasonal food often feels like one more thing to manage.
- Does the farmers market conflict with your schedule?
- Feel pressured to pick up a box every week — even when life gets busy?
- Struggle to make fresh food fit into an already full week?
- Wish eating local felt simpler?
Eating well shouldn’t require rearranging your life.
That’s why we created a flexible way to enjoy fresh, local vegetables — on your schedule.
A Flexible Way to Eat Fresh All Season
A Farm Membership gives you the benefits of a CSA —
without the pressure of a pre-packed box you can’t customize.
How It Works
Step 1: Join Farm Membership.
Step 2: Shop online weekly or visit our farm stand or farmers market.
Step 3: Enjoy fresh Michigan-grown vegetables your way.
You choose what works best for your family —
home delivery, market shopping, or farm stand pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your vegetables organic?
We are not certified organic, but we follow sustainable practices similar to organic standards. All crops are grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. We use non-GMO and organic seeds whenever possible. We are also working toward Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) certification, which will formally recognize our sustainable, trustworthy farming practices.
How is a Farm Membership different from a traditional CSA?
Traditional CSAs typically give you a pre-packed box each week. Our Farm Membership is more flexible. You choose what your family wants from what’s fresh and in season — whether you shop online, visit our farm stand, or come to the farmers market. Members receive upfront savings, but you’re never locked into a set box.
Do I have to pick up my order?
Nope! Delivery to your door is available for zip codes 49453 (Saugatuck), 49406 (Douglas), and 49090 (South Haven). You can also choose farm stand pickup at our Hartford farm on Fridays from 5–7 PM. All orders — delivery or pickup — must be placed by Monday at noon.
