You don’t have to run your own farm to eat farm-fresh food in the Boulder area. Many local farms offer special community supported agriculture memberships. They’re like farm shares, where you pay a pre-set amount in exchange for regular baskets of produce and other locally sourced food.
You can buy into a CSA for fruits and veggies, but also meat, eggs, flowers, milk, honey and more. Exactly what you get often depends on the weather and harvest, but you know exactly where it came from and who grew it.
For people on a budget, some farms offer discounts if you help work on the farm.
Most CSAs are open to the public, but they can be in high demand; some sell out as soon as registration opens. Others keep registration open year-round.
That’s why we have put together all of the latest local CSA information: which farms offer food shares, what they offer, when and how to register, how much it costs, when and where to pick it up and more. Scroll down the table and compare costs and sizes and options to find the best CSA for you.
Some farms are not in Boulder County but offer pick-ups and deliveries in the area.
We have also included a local wine share, which isn’t exactly a farm but has ties to a local one.
Note: Details are subject to change, especially between seasons. We have also included contact info and websites for the farms so you can connect with them firsthand.
