A Way of Life Farm’s CSA provides members with the best of our farm's harvest each season. Your membership fee offers you a value of up to 30 weeks of standard and unique varieties of your favorite, or soon-to-be-favorite, vegetables. It creates an opportunity for you to truly know where and how your food is produced and explore the benefits of local, seasonal eating. Our CSA is a good fit and a good value for those who cook several meals a week. A vegetable share typically feeds 2 adults + kids, but varies widely depending on your cooking habits.

Pork Add-ons
Get 10% off retail value when you add a PORK SHARE.
All pork is raised on our farm, foraging fields and woodland and supplemented with Certified Organic and Soy-Free feed. This makes for healthier pigs with a more diverse diet than standard pasture-raised pork, and you can taste the difference!
Pork Sausage Share: Get 4 packages of sausage per month. Variety includes Mild Breakfast Sausage, Chorizo, Ground Pork, Italian Sausage, and Bratwurst. $120/season
Pork Sampler Share: Get a variety of pork cuts each month during the season (click here to get an idea of our available options) along with recipes and tips on using more of the pig than just bacon and sausage (though you’ll get some of those, too!). $210/season
