Talley Farms Fresh Harvest

Our goal with the Fresh Harvest program is to serve our members by providing an exceptional box full of fresh, good tasting locally grown fruits and vegetables year round. As much as possible, this includes organic produce, but in the winter months, much of the available organic produce comes out of Mexico. We focus on local first, organic when available. We believe that consumers should strive to eat more produce, period. Restricting oneself to organically grown produce limits the variety and nutrition available from eating locally and seasonally. Thanks for your support of our farm, our employees, our community and our earth. We welcome you to our farm for a tour and we look forward to the opportunity to teach more consumers about farming, agriculture and the importance of eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables.

Talley Farms Fresh Harvest, in its own listing

How a CSA share works.

A CSA share is paid up front for a season of regular boxes, usually weekly. You share the farm's good years and its bad ones. Before you buy, ask what a typical week holds, where and when pickup is, whether delivery is offered, and how the farm handles a lost crop. Farms that grow organically or naturally say so on the listing.

Worth asking before you go:

• What is in a typical box in June, and in September?
• Where is pickup, and what if I miss a week?
• Is there a half share, a work share, or a payment plan?
