Celebrating CSA Week 2025 at Peterson Farm

  • It is that wonderful time of year again—CSA Week 2025—a national celebration of local farms, fresh food, and the communities that support them. If you have been thinking about joining a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) or are already part of one, this is the perfect moment to connect more deeply with the land and the people who grow your food.

At Peterson Farm, we are proud to have offered our CSA program for years. Many of you have been loyal members since the beginning, and we love being part of your family’s weekly routine. In honor of CSA Week 2025, we want to highlight the benefits of our long-standing CSA—and introduce you to our brand-new CSA (Community Supported Orchard), a fresh way to enjoy the best fruit our farm offers.

Our Long-Standing CSA: A Time-Tested Way to Eat Well

We have been fine-tuning our CSA for quite some time, making it one of the most convenient and cost-effective ways to fill your kitchen with farm-fresh produce every week during our 20-week season.

Why Join Our CSA?

  1. Consistency & Quality
    • After years of running our CSA, we have perfected choosing the right produce mix. You will always get a flavorful variety, from tender spring asparagus to sweet summer tomatoes and hearty fall squash.
  2. Seasoned Expertise
    • Because we have been doing this for a while, we’ve streamlined our harvest and packing process. You can count on well-curated boxes brimming with just-harvested goodness.
  3. Build Community
    • CSA isn’t just a subscription service—it’s a relationship. By signing up, you’re supporting a local farm you can actually visit, with farmers you’ll get to know by name.

Share Options

  • Full Share $860: Perfect for larger families or dedicated home cooks.
  • Half Share $580: Great for smaller households or those who want a more moderate amount of produce.
  • Personal Share $420: Ideal for singles, couples, or anyone new to the CSA lifestyle.
  • Fruit Share $200: Add bursts of sweetness—from strawberries to apples—to your weekly box.

Pickup & Delivery

  • Pickup: Wednesdays at Peterson Farm or Saturdays (10 AM–1 PM) at Montgomery Farmers Market in Skillman, NJ.
  • Delivery: Within 7 miles of the farm for just $7.50/week—especially handy for busy families or individuals.

Announcing Our New CSA (Community Supported Orchard)

While our CSA has been running successfully for years, we’re thrilled to launch a brand-new addition to our offering: the Peterson Farm CSA. This membership is all about fruit, focusing on the bounty of our orchard and ensuring our fruit lovers get the best of each season.

What to Expect from the CSA

  • Seasonal Highlights: From sun-ripened peaches to crisp apples, the CSA will feature the orchard’s top picks at their peak.
  • Member-Exclusive Orchard Events: Look forward to harvest tours, pick-your-own gatherings, and special tastings—available first to CSA members.
  • Flexible Share Sizes: Choose the fruit share that fits your household. You’ll never miss out on your favorite orchard treats again.

Don’t Forget Our Farm Stand & Pick-Your-Own

In addition to our CSA and CSA, we welcome everyone to stop by our on-site farm stand for fresh seasonal produce—perfect for those days you need a bit extra or aren’t quite ready for a full share. And if you’re craving a hands-on experience, our Pick-Your-Own Fruit events make for a fun, family-friendly outing. Stroll through the orchard, fill a basket, and make memories you’ll cherish year after year.

Why Join During CSA Week 2025?

CSA Week is a national initiative aimed at celebrating and supporting local farms. It’s the best time to:

  • Reserve Your Spot: Shares often sell out quickly, and CSA Week provides a gentle reminder to snag your place before the season starts.
  • Plan Your Year: By investing now, you’ll know that from spring to fall, fresh, local produce will be waiting for you every week.
  • Enjoy Special Perks: Farms often offer fun incentives or early-bird bonuses during this time of year—keep an eye on our website and social media for announcements!
