A CSA, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture, offers consumers the chance to purchase shares of a farm's harvest in advance. In return, they receive fresh produce on a weekly or biweekly basis throughout the season. This arrangement not only supports local farmers but also ensures customers enjoy exceptionally fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers that are in season. It provides an opportunity to explore new varieties of produce and often leads to cost savings. Additionally, purchasing shares in advance provides farmers with crucial funds to start their season or address any needs they may have at the time.

While some fruits are grown right here at Nicholson's, others are sourced locally from our trusted farmer friends, ensuring the highest quality and freshness. In addition to the bounty of fruits, our CSA also includes a selection of vegetables grown here at Nicholson's, albeit in smaller quantities. Please note that this is primarily a fruit-based CSA, with vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, corn, squash, carrots, garlic, and more included intermittently. Rest assured, all our vegetables are cultivated using sustainable organic practices, ensuring both quality and environmental responsibility. While we do include a variety of fruits and some vegetables in our CSA shares, our emphasis is on providing a diverse selection of fresh fruits. Vegetables are included but in smaller quantities, and sometimes not at all. We want to ensure that you have clear expectations about the contents of our CSA subscription. Each share in our CSA boasts a value of over $20, providing you with exceptional value alongside the unparalleled freshness and flavor of locally sourced produce. |
