FARM STORES

Farm Stands and Stores

Most farms have stands or stores on their property where they sell food directly to the consumer. To magnify the farm experience, you can spend a little time picking your own fruits and vegetables. You can't get any fresher than that!

 COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE (CSA)

Garden for Monarch Butterflies

With a CSA, a farmer offers the public a certain number of "shares" consisting of vegetables, fruits, and other farm products. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription") and in return receive a portion of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season. You can learn more about CSAs and find some wonderful recipes by visiting Blooming Glen Farm's Food Blog.
