2012 CSA Program
This will be our fourth year for our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program. This kind of "subscription" program allows us to offer investors "shares" in our farm. Subscribers from the Greater Cleveland area and beyond get the "cream of the crop" all season long in the form of weekly baskets of veggies and fruits and free-range eggs. All natural pork, beef and free range broiler chickens are also available. We offer full shares with produce, eggs, beef and pork; produce and egg shares; produce only shares and a smaller single share with or without eggs.
Winter CSA baskets are once a month from November thru May. Space is limited for both programs and many families purchase shares in both programs so they enjoy local produce year round.
CSA members receive: tomatoes, tomatillos, blueberries, strawberries, garlic, potatoes, onions, sweet corn, asparagus, watermelon, melons, pumpkins, lettuce and salad mixes, radishes, kale, broccoli, swiss chard, cauliflower, zucchini, yellow squash, patty pan squash, cucumbers, apples, peaches, cherries, brussels sprouts, cabbage, herbs, spinach, eggplant, Chinese cabbage, beans, peas, leeks, parsley, beets, acorn squash, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, carrots, sweet and hot peppers, and many other seasonal fruits and vegetables when available.
Grass fed beef and humanely raised pork are provided once per year to full share members. Several times during the year we offer smaller pork and beef grill packs. The following items are available a la carte: honey, maple syrup, preserves, free range broiler chickens, bulk vegetables and fruit for canning, Amish baked goods and candies, felted soaps, bamboo tomato stakes, bedding plants, and cut flowers. Everything we provide is grown or raised locally either from our farm or from one of 10 other farms we represent that are located within 25 miles of Murray Hill Farm. Each farmer uses natural growing methods and adheres to our farming techniques of little or no chemicals.
Some CSA members pick up their weekly baskets at the farm while others pick up at one of the farmers markets we attend.
Please note, the list of vegetables and fruits is subject to change. Other delivery arrangements can be made for a small fee. Current drop off locations include: Saturday mornings at Oberlin Farmers Market and Saturday mornings at North Olmsted Farmers Market (Frostville Museum). Pick up at the farm in Wakeman (Clarksfield Township) is Wednesdays from 5 to 7 pm.
