Cozy Up With a Fall CSA Share

Anyone else feel that slight chill in the air? Admittedly, the majority of the weather we’ve been having here in our neck of the woods has still been screaming summer but believe it or not, fall is just around the corner.

That means back to school, the start of new (or refresh of old) routines, and generally getting back in the swing of things. The changing seasons also means a new assortment of seasonal produce to enjoy that lends itself well to hearty, stick to your ribs cooking that we love to enjoy when the air is crisp and the days grow shorter.

Highlights include squash (such as the popular delicata and butternut varieties), sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and lots of leafy greens. This year we will also have the great fortune of enjoying apples and pears from our friends at Ela Family Farms, who have also been supplying us with some of the sweetest peaches we’ve ever tasted!

Joining our Fall 2023 CSA is a great way to get into the groove of seasonal eating with a serious dose of convenience – your fresh vegetables and/or meat and eggs are all packaged up for you and ready to be enjoyed each week. We even often delivery to your door if you live within one of our delivery regions, or you can pick it up at more than a dozen locations throughout Central Kentucky, Louisville and Cincinnati.

Three sizes of our Fall 2023 CSA Vegetable Share are available:

• Mini: Designed for single adults or couples who eat out often. This smallest-size CSA share contains a variety of vegetables each week but is intended to never overwhelm your refrigerator. It’s a good introduction to a CSA Farm Share and new-to-you vegetables.
• Regular: Designed to provide a couple or a small household most of their weekly vegetable needs. You’ll receive a larger variety and quantity of vegetables than with the mini share.
• Robust: Designed for a larger family or strictly vegetarian household, a Robust CSA Share covers most of your weekly vegetable needs. This size generally contains the same variety of vegetables as a Regular CSA Share but in larger amounts.

Then you can add on an optional meat share or an egg share to be included in your weekly box.

Well meaning folks ask us frequently what the benefits of being an Elmwood Stock Farm CSA member are, to which we always answer: Many! But here are our favorites:

Customize your share each week

Swap items out, secure your favorites, or add extra veggies, meats, eggs, flowers and pantry items – the choice is yours!

Roll over the value of your share

Going out of town? Need to take a break for a week? You can pause your CSA share in advance through your online portal and roll over up to $75 in account credit.

Flexible pickup + delivery

We distribute to more than a dozen locations throughout Central Kentucky, Louisville and Cincinnati. We can also deliver to your door if you live within one of our delivery regions. Check out the up to date list of pickup and delivery sites here. 

Experience true seasonal eating

By becoming a CSA member you’ll get to enjoy local, freshly harvested produce, right when it’s in season – and sometimes through its various stages of development. 

Eat organic straight from your local farm

Our sixth-generation Kentucky farm is proud to meet the standards of organic certification on all of our offerings, so you can be assured that as a CSA member you’ll be receiving healthy, safe, nutritious and wholesome food grown with care while supporting our local, family owned farm.

Get first pick of all our offerings

We always give our CSA members priority before our vegetables, meats and eggs are offered to the general public. Even if you choose a vegetable-only share, you’ll have first pick to purchase any additional vegetables, meats, flowers and eggs each week.

Connect with your food in a whole new way

Each week you’ll receive a CSA member-only email newsletter with food storage tips, recipes, crop news and other items of interest.

Enjoy special events

You’ll get first shot at purchasing tickets to any on-farm events we hold, like our farm tours and farm to table dinners.

The fun kicks off the week of October 9 so now’s a great time to sign up to secure your seasonal eats from us in advance!
