What is included in your CSA box will change over the season.
One hesitation that a lot of people have about participating in a CSA is regarding the quantity of food. For instance, we’ve heard lots of folks say, “I have a friend who participated in another CSA and they got a ton of [insert product here]; so much that they didn’t know what to do with all of it.”
The Kuhn Orchards CSA will not put you in this kind of predicament. We will give you variety in your CSA box with fruit, berries, melons, vegetables and corn, and cider. We really strive to not overwhelm CSA participants with too much of one item. We think that the quantity of food included in the CSA box can easily be consumed by two individuals.
What you could expect to see in your CSA box is:
|
Part 1: July – August |
Part 2: September – October |

There are major differences between the Winter CSA and the Summer/Fall CSA in relation to what CSA members can expect to see in their CSA box.
For the Winter CSA, we have harvested the majority of crops and we can easily plan and allocate what is available through the winter.
For the Summer/Fall CSA, it will be more challenging to plan and allocate for the Summer/Fall CSA and all of our farmers markets. Plus, we will be in the hands of Mother Nature as to what is available to harvest, when it is ready to be picked, and the quantity that will need to be harvested to satisfy the needs of the farmers markets and the Summer/Fall CSA.
While we can ensure that you will receive a variety of items in your CSA box, and that we will not overwhelm you with any one item, it is important for you to understand that the produce items listed above may not be included depending on availability. And on the flip-side, an item that is not listed above may appear in your CSA box if we have abundance.
We hope that all of our CSA members will understand the variability and will be flexible with the items included in their box. We can ensure you that in each CSA box members will enjoy delicious, nutritious, and ripe produce harvested from our farm.
