Join us for weekly boxes of fresh herbs and medicine making mentorship! Fresh herb boxes are available for pick-up in New York City, Philadelphia, and near the farm in Oley, Pennsylvania. You may also join our CSA group from other parts of the country for the educational component, and we will donate the fresh herbs.
OUR CSA THEME FOR 2026 IS “THE CRAFT”
The human ability to observe through our senses has been attuned by nature over 300,000 years of our existence. We see, smell, taste, hear, and touch to gather information about our environment and the things we need for survival. For us, as sense-beings, herbs are a panacea! A great deal can be learned just through experiences with herbs; this includes not only the plants, but also how they reveal parts of ourselves.
Looking forward to working with you!

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), is a direct partnership between the farm and its consumers, or shareholders. When you become a CSA Member you are purchasing in advance a share of the upcoming season’s crop that is provided in our bi-weekly box for pick up. Your investment in the farm provides much needed capital used for seeds, equipment, and skilled labor. In exchange the CSA Member has first access to the farm’s diverse selection of fresh herbs, many of which are only available through this program.
-
Each herb box will include 4-5 different herbs in bunches, by the pound for roots, or in an enclosed container for edible flowers. The amount will vary depending on how the season is progressing. When there is abundance, we will pass it on. Our goal is for you to be able to make at least one 16 oz ball jar of herbal extract per plant.

Pick ups are bi-weekly from May through October. Click on the “Pick Up Calendar” button below for the exact dates for your location.

We do not offer a partial season as we have found it works best to provide the full season with more flexibility. For example, you can split the CSA with another person, we offer alternate pick up dates for vacations during the summer, or you may opt to donate some or all of your boxes and we will provide the fresh herb box to someone in need. Please contact us and we will provide more detail for these options.
-
Yes! We have set up the CSA as one full season with the ability to have 1 additional person as your CSA partner. So, there would be 1 box per 1 pick up location and 2 logins for the Zoom lessons and online course materials. You are also welcome to share the personal consult session. Either person may pick up the fresh herb box.
-
No, we don’t offer refunds on payments towards your CSA Farm Share. If you’re interested in this share, but aren’t sure if the CSA style is right for you, email us to arrange a call. We’re happy to talk through the CSA experience to make sure it’s a good fit for you. If you have already signed up and are unable to continue with the CSA, please email us and we will donate your fresh herb box, or you may transfer it to a friend.
-
Let us know by emailing, and we will set up an alternative pick up for you. We allow 3 reschedule passes during the CSA and you can use them whenever you need to. You may also gift your box to another family member or friend, just send them to the usual pick-up spot.
-
Yes, no problem. Just send us an email and we will make the change.
-
No. Because of the nature of farming, we do not guarantee any crop. What we do guarantee is diversity and quality. We never compromise our growing practices, and we will do everything in our farming power to bring you the seasonal favorites!
