Weavers Way Farm Market

We grow food for and with the community on our two farm sites in Northwest Philly while also providing farm jobs in the city for new and beginning farmers. We also offer experiential, outdoor learning opportunities for Saul High School students. By buying a share in the CSA, you are supporting a unique model of participatory community agriculture, jobs for new and beginning farmers, and on-farm education for Saul students and everyone else who participates in our farms. During the season, shareholders come to the farm once a week to collect their share of that week’s harvest. We offer pickup times at the farm three times a week — Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. -4 p.m. Shares come in two sizes. Shares come in two sizes: small share consists of 5-6 units of vegetables and is recommended for two people. A large share consists is twice as big and is recommended for four people. We have Summer and Fall CSA programs.

Weavers Way Farm Market, 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?
