CSA Overview

2016 CSA Weeks Collage

 

Front 9 Farm specializes in producing over 100 types of fruits and vegetables which are packaged into weekly CSA (community supported agriculture) shares. These shares are sold to our local community members and within Medina, Cuyahoga, and Summit counties. The shares are distributed weekly at four pickup locations: Thursday evenings at the LEAF Community Farmers’ Market from 5:30pm-7:30pm at the Lakewood Library main branch (on front porch), Fridays at our farm from 3pm-7pm, Saturdays in Medina (north of the Square, exact location TBD) from 8:30am-10am, Saturdays in southern Medina at Boyert’s Greenhouse & Farm from 10:30am-12pm, and Saturdays at the Countryside Farmers' Market at Howe Meadow from 9am-12pm in Peninsula. Our 2021 CSA program runs 28 weeks beginning the second week of May (May 12th-May 14th pickups), and will end the third week of November (November 17th-19th pickups).

The shares are carefully curated to cycle through over 110 unique produce items throughout the season. All fruits, vegetables, chicken, eggs, and honey are grown on our 10-acre farm using organic principles, sustainable practices, and precise management. We’re entering our seventh CSA season, and each year the produce is higher quality, and more polished. Year over year we improve the packages so they include more desirable proportions of produce items, and a greater diversity of produce offerings. Our passion is producing high-quality, nutritionally-dense food for our community, so that our community members can lead rich and healthy lives.
