Members of Casey Farm's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program receive a mix of fresh organic vegetables, fruits, herbs, and pick-your-own flowers weekly throughout the 21-week season. Most items are harvested the day members receive them, assuring peak flavor, ripeness, and nutrition.

All CSA members work for the farm, both to reduce the need for hired help and to give members a sense of what is involved in food production. The eight hours of work during the season may include planting, cultivating, or harvesting.
