What is a CSA?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is how you can help the farm sell more vegetables and invest in the planting schedule. It allows the farm to count on certain income to grow the production. You will be provided a cooler of pre-selected delicious vegetables every two weeks or monthly, depending on your preference.

How does it work?

When you subscribe, you are put on an automatically renewing subscription that bills monthly. You can cancel at anytime. Your CSA box will be prepared with the latest fresh produce and treats. You will be notified when your box is ready for pickup Friday in Ahwatukee or Saturday at the farm or at Uptown Farmers Market.

New subscriptions will be filled the following week (ie sign up for Ahwatukee CSA on a Monday, your box will be filled the following week on Friday (11 days later)

You can change your subscription or cancel anytime.
