Farms offering CSAs in Western Pennsylvania:
Community Supported Agriculture is a direct connection between the farmers and the consumers. To join a CSA is to buy a share of the season's harvest. The farmer gains the security of knowing he or she has been paid for a portion of the harvest and the farmer's "community" participates in how and where their food is grown. This direct connection puts the face and place of food in full view. Before the start of the season, when the farmer is planning the upcoming year, shares are sold to members of the community at a fixed price. The farmer plans the plantings to meet the shares that have been sold. Every week throughout the season, the CSA community receives a box of that week's harvest. Most of the local CSAs will deliver to several convenient area locations, but they always encourage the community to come to the farm, and even to participate in the growing of their food.
As you can see, there are quite a number of CSA programs serving Western Pennsylvania. The list, information and links below will help you to find the right farm for you and your family. You can also visit our FRESH FOOD FINDER and search for CSA and enter your Zip Code to find drop-off/pick-up points in your area.
Dillner Family Farm is a fruit and vegetable farm located in Gibsonia, Pa. We are happy to offer Our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program each year to our customers.
For our CSA we determine what we have ready and available each week. We then hand pick the produce, wash it, bag the parishables (lettuce, spinach, green beans...etc), and fill each crate to the correct amount depending on Regular or Advanced Membership. Next we deliver it to the designated drop site. Early in the season it is very difficult to produce enough diversity of crops to fullfill all of the choices therefore we do supplement with local free-range eggs, honey from the bees that pollinate our crops, homemade jams/jellies, and local organic cheese.
