2025 CSA registration is open now!

Sign up online at our GrownBy store, or download and send in our 2025 CSA Registration Form.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), is a partnership between farmers and their customers. When you purchase a CSA subscription, you connect with and support the farm by paying up front for produce you will receive throughout the season. This up front payment helps to cover the initial capital investment required of the farm each year, allowing the farm to focus on its operation and plan for the season.

Here at Massaro Community Farm our CSA plays an important role in realizing our mission: keep farming, feed people, build community. We believe everyone has a right to healthy food, regardless of income.  In addition to our commitment to donating 10% of our annual harvest to local hunger relief organizations, we offer sliding scale pricing tiers and payment plans for our CSA to make it more widely accessible. See details below.

2025 CSA 

The 2025 CSA start date is planned for June 10, assuming spring conditions allow. Exact start date will be confirmed and communicated by the first week of June.

Payment Options

We accept cash and check, plus payment with credit card, EBT and PayPal. Payment in full is requested for the CSA whenever possible, however we are happy to work with you on a payment plan to fit your needs.  Automatic weekly or monthly payments are possible when you sign up and make payment online through our GrownBy page.  Download the GrownBy app on to your phone from the app store.  GrownBy is a farmer-created cooperative. You can also print out or download our CSA registration form and mail it in or drop it off along with payment.

Sliding Scale Pricing

Sliding scale pricing engages the community in Community Supported Agriculture, allowing us to practice economic solidarity, providing mutual support for the cost of our programs.  In this way we make our produce more accessible and help cover costs of operation. Choose the pricing tier that fits with your income and access to wealth, and help us create a more just, equitable food system. Many thanks to Soul Fire Farm, and Rock Steady Farm for their vision and leadership in advocating for equitable pricing models. Quick links to choose and purchase our CSA options on GrownBy:

Fall CSA, 6 weeks in November/December 

Our Fall CSA extension begins in immediately following the end of our summer CSA, and continues in to December after a one-week Thanksgiving break. Pickups are available on Wednesdays at District in New Haven, and Fridays at the farm. There are no Tuesday pickups at the farm for the fall CSA. We downsize a bit for the fall and winter so space for the fall CSA is limited.  Registration for our Fall CSA typically opens in August or September each year.
