WHY JOIN OUR CSA?
Fresher Produce
Every Week
Most of our CSA produce is picked on Wednesday, our pickup day, so your fruits and vegetables are as fresh as they can be when you bring them home.
A Better Way to Eat
Through the Season
Enjoy a steady supply of fresh, in-season produce from Peterson Farm’s CSA in New Jersey, grown with care and picked for quality throughout the harvest season.
Fresher produce each week
Join Peterson Farm’s CSA
Reserve your share for the season and bring home fresh, high-quality produce grown right here at Peterson Farm. Our CSA is built for people who want a better way to buy produce through the season, with food that is picked with freshness in mind and grown by a farm that takes real pride in quality.
When you join our CSA, you sign up for a season of produce you can count on each week. It is a simple way to keep fresh vegetables on hand, eat more with the season, and know exactly where your food is coming from. We also offer a fruit share, which many farms do not. That means members can enjoy strawberries, peaches, and apples when they are in season, in addition to our vegetable shares.
One of the biggest differences at Peterson Farm is freshness. Just about everything for the CSA is picked on Wednesday, our pickup day, so your produce is as fresh as it can be. That makes a real difference in quality, flavor, and the overall value of your share throughout the season.
A CSA also gives you a closer connection to the farm. Instead of buying produce that has gone through a long chain of shipping, storage, and handling, you are bringing home food grown nearby and shared through the season it was meant to be enjoyed.
Available Shares
We offer 4 different shares at Peterson Farm. They are listed below:
A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a program that allows customers to purchase a share of the farm at the beginning of the season. Members then receive a weekly box of fresh, in-season produce throughout the harvest season. At Peterson Farm, our CSA is built around providing high-quality produce that is grown with care and picked with freshness in mind.
Peterson Farm offers four different CSA shares:
Full Share ($860 total; approx. $43 per week):
Our largest share and best value. Designed for veggie-loving families of 5 or more, frequent home cooks, or those who want to freeze and preserve produce for the winter. It is also a great option to split between two families.
Half Share ($580 total; approx. $29 per week):
A strong option for families up to 5 people. This share provides plenty of produce for the week and can also work well for smaller households or two families sharing.
Personal Share ($420; approx. $21 per week):
Our smallest veggie share, designed for individuals or couples who want fresh, seasonal produce without overbuying.
Fruit Share ($240; approximately $15 per week, depending on the season):
Enjoy fresh fruit when it is at its best. Our fruit share includes strawberries in June, peaches from mid-July through August, and apples from late September through mid-October. Members receive 2 quarts of strawberries, ½ peck of peaches, and 1 peck of apples per week while in season.
Fruit seasons are weather-dependent and may vary year to year. The fruit share typically runs about 16 weeks total (approximately 4 weeks of strawberries, 7 weeks of peaches, and 5 weeks of apples). This is a unique offering, as many farms do not include fruit in their CSA.
Delivery and Pickup
- Delivery: ($150; $7.50 per week) Available within 7 miles of the farm for those who might find it difficult to pick up their CSA share each week. Deliveries are on Wednesday afternoons.
