CSA Program
Broom and Brine operates a 75 weekly share CSA Program across 12 months of the year.
Our CSA boxes are made up of 7 farm pick vegetables each week, delivered to your door and cost $40 each. We're currently at capacity but are taking details for our Waitlist.
Connecting to History
Even the most ordinary of vegetables like spinach, have histories that charm us. Listen to this Podcast interview with Broom and Brine gardener Grace or read more in our Produce Library.

We grow over 80 varieties of fruits and vegetables for our CSA members and aim to produce a weekly box that strikes a balance between exploration and routine. Scroll through our full CSA Archive here.

CSA is an experimental farming methodology pioneered by Booker T. Whatley in Alabama during the 1970’s. Whatley encouraged farmers to grow a diversity of crops for a Clientele Membership Club.
Booker T. Whatley was a horticulturist, professor and Civil Rights advocate. He championed smaller, smarter farms owned and operated by Black farmers.
There are many forms of CSA, and it is unlikely any two will ever be exactly the same. -
Broom and Brine operates a CSA Subscription Membership. Our members pay weekly, there is no lock in period and we offer pausing when folks go away camping or head off interstate.
Broom and Brine have about 65 members on our books and we can easily ride fluctuations in members pausing their boxes. Our CSA creates very even demand across the year, we find everything evens out in the wash. We are really proud to offer this pausing service.
