Become a member of Calvert’s Gift Farm’s CSA buying program.
Are you an adventurous eater? Do you want to provide your family with high quality, safe, fresh vegetables? Are you looking for nutrient dense and chemical free food? Do you want to buy certified organic fruits and vegetables in an economically and environmentally sustainable way?
Become a member of Calvert’s Gift Farm’s Community Supported Agriculture buying program.
Calvert’s Gift Farm offers members 24 weeks of our own locally grown, certified organic produce for $700 ($625 if paid by February 1st). Weekly shares consist of at least 8 items with a value of $30-$35.
HOW IT WORKS
We begin the third week of May and run through the end of October, when our produce is at its most abundant and the farm is at its peak production. Members choose to pick up their share boxes at the farm on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. In addition to the weekly share of vegetables, surplus produce from the week’s harvest is frequently offered to our members. A “trade box” is available each week so that members can exchange less appreciated produce for their particular favorites. Of course, recipes and cooking tips are included with each week’s share boxes.
Blackberries and flowers are available as pick your own opportunities, and are free to our shareholders. NEW FOR 2023! Pick your own herbs! A variety of basils, cilantro, dill, oregano and other culinary herbs will be available for our members. Bulk items will be offered as harvest permits at an additional cost. Our members will also be eligible to participate in our off season buying program to extend their access to our fresh produce.
Mid-season Membership
Late for sign up? Mid-season memberships may be purchased and will be prorated accordingly. Please contact us directly for more information.
Egg Share
We have a small flock of laying hens, however they cannot meet the demand of the CSA. The eggs come from the Warn's Farm in Freeland Maryland.
Eggs are available for $120 for the season ($5 per dozen for 24 weeks) and are picked up with your share box. ½ shares (every other week) are also available.
Towson pick up location
Choose to pick up your share at the Kenilworth Farmers Market on Tuesday afternoons.
Design Your Own Pick up Site
Do you have 10 or more friends and neighbors who also want clean, fresh food? Please contact the farm to discuss creating a new pick up location.
