CSA Program

What is a CSA?


Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a program that fosters a relationship between the farm and the consumer. Rather than simply purchasing food, a member becomes a part of Regener8 Farm. Members who register prior to the season help the farmers with the initial costs to start growing and preparing for the season. The farmer reserves the fresh harvest and grows specifically for those members. It is an investment for the growing season that helps the community understand what eating seasonally looks like. The program also introduces new produce to members and is meant to encourage fun times when cooking and broadening taste palettes. Seeds and packaging material are only two of the expenses that go into starting a CSA program. When a member signs up in the summer, the investment helps the farm cover the primary costs to start the program. All subscription boxes include the delivery, packaging and service fee worked into the price.

Start: Nov 29-May 22nd with black out dates during Christmas and New Years.

ADD ON A Farm Fresh Egg Share

The free ranging hens currently live in our pines forest. We raise the chicks and give them good food and supplements like oregano, pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, diatomaceous earth, garlic that keep them thriving. The chickens also receive fruit scraps from Centner Academy School and Fertile Earth Worm Farm. The chickens are free to find bugs, weeds and grasses to eat in the forest.

Most conventional egg operations give their hens GMO feed with corn and soy that increase the Omega 6 fatty acids in most eggs. At R8 we feed them GMO free feed that does not include corn or soy.

  • Nearly everything in your box will come from Regener8 Farm, we are a highly diversified farm with various growing modalities including soil farming, aquaponics, hydroponics, fruit orchards, chickens and bee operations and more to come. As these different operations ramp up you will see more of these items popping up in your boxes. On occasion we may source from other local producers that also grow food regeneratively.

  • Since we are a brand new farm we are still working on getting our organic certification but we use beyond organic Regenerative practices in our farm. Meaning no chemicals ever and full attention to regenerating the soil, making it healthy and capable of producing high quality, nutrient dense food while simultaneously improving the land.

  • Each week we will be selecting from our fields to bring a variety of vegetables including:

    • Greens (Lettuce Mix, Kale, Lettuce Gems, Arugula, Bok Choi, etc.)

    • Roots (Carrots, Beets, Radishes, etc.)

    • Fruits (Squash, Zucchini, Cauliflower, etc.)

    • Herbs (Mint, Parsley, Oregano, Onions, Scallions, etc.)

    Depending on how fond your family is of eating vegetables and how often you cook at home the boxes can feed a family of 3-4 for a week. Although it is not meant to replace your weekly shopping all together it will give a unique experience of freshness and nutrient packed choices. Part of the excitement of participating in a CSA is that your will experience new vegetables that you may never have tried before. Throughout the seasons different vegetables will become available.

  • All of our produce is hand-picked and minimally processed—straight from the soil so we do recommend washing your produce before preparing it. Our baby greens are washed and can be eaten.

  • Weekly deliveries will be available at both school campuses. Your family will be assigned a number and we will assist in getting your box to you during the pick up line or during after school activities pick ups.

  • We will hold your CSA box for 24 hours if you cannot pick it up please let us know and we will donate it to one of the staff at the school. Since we are cooking all the food on site this year we do not have room to store boxes in the our walk in cooler.

  • Yes! You will have opportunities to visit the farm as a volunteer or during special events and tours throughout the year. Part of what makes the experience of having a CSA special is your direct experience and connection to the farm so we encourage you to visit and see where and how your food is grown!
