Community Supported Agriculture forms a direct relationship between people and the land. Each season the Seminary Hill Farm team – the farmer, coordinator, interns and seminary students – tends plants and soil to grow an array of vegetables, flowers and herbs. Learn more about what you’re a part of as a CSA member.
Our goal is to provide a balanced selection of Ohio favorites along with less-seen vegetables that can enhance your eating experience. We farm without the use of synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers, and all seed stock is non-GMO.
CSA members enter into a relationship of trust. We do our best to provide members with an array of nutritious vegetables, herbs and flowers. Members understand that there are uncertainties in farming, and they share the bounty and the risks.
About your CSA share
Your share won’t be pre-packed. Each week’s offerings are set out to allow members to select and pack their own shares.
Depending on the crop, some vegetables may be pre-portioned and others unrestricted. Seminary Hill Farm follows the ethics of an honorable harvest, taking what one needs. Surplus is donated to food-insecure communities.
This chart indicates when we expect to harvest our different crops. Please keep in mind that nature is not required to observe this calendar.
