2026 Spring to Fall CSA

Looking for a delicious, affordable way to support ECO City Farms and our mission to grow great food, farms, and farmers? Sign up for our 2026 CSA today!

How does it work?

At ECO, we grow over 70 varieties of fruits and vegetables. We grow food in ways that sustain the environment, our farmers, and our communities. We choose climate-resilient and heirloom varieties, and incorporate a wide range of sustainable growing practices. Your CSA membership supports our ongoing commitment to treating our communities and our land with love and respect. 

A CSA is like a season-long subscription to fresh food. As a CSA member, you sign up and pay for your shares ahead of time (right now!). Every Thursday, you’ll come to the farm to pick up a bag with fresh, healthy, organically grown fruits and vegetables inside. 

You’ll receive an email newsletter the week of your pickup with a list of that week’s produce, recipe ideas, and updates about what’s going on at ECO City Farms.

What’s in my CSA?

 We strive to provide you with quality, abundance, and variety in each share. A share is generally enough food for one to two people, averaging between 5-7 items each week. We do our best to plan to give you a different mix of produce! Below we’ve included an example of what your share might look like per season.

• Spring share: curly kale, bibb lettuce, scallions, bok choy, and parsley
• Summer share: tomatoes, cantaloupe, garlic scapes, potatoes, and cucumbers
• Fall share: bell peppers, eggplant, okra, collard greens, and carrots

We also periodically offer CSA members the chance to purchase additional special products from other local farmers, including honey, flowers, teas, and more. 

Pick-up date, time and location?

Our Spring to Fall CSA begins May 21st and will run through November 12th (26 weeks). 

Members also have the option to sign up for a half season — Spring to Summer — which begins May 21st and will run through August 13th (13 weeks).

Pick up is on Thursdays from 3 PM to 6 PM at the Edmonston Farm (4913 Crittenden Street Edmonston, MD 20781). If you cannot make it to the farm within the pickup window, we’ll leave your share in a cooler outside the farm’s gate for you to pick up later that evening. After the 6 PM pick-up time, staff will not be on-site and we cannot ensure your share will be in the cooler when you arrive. Exact pick-up dates are listed below.

How much does a CSA cost?

Pay what you can with our sliding scale!

A sliding scale means that there are several payment options for you to choose from, based on your understanding of your own financial need, and other forms of social privilege you may experience in the world. 

As explained by Soul Fire Farm’s solidarity share model: “We ask that people with more wealth and income pay more for their CSA share subscription to subsidize shares for those with less wealth and income. We empower people to decide for themselves what contribution level makes sense and offer coaching to support that determination. For example, people are encouraged to pay less if they are supporting children, have high medical expenses or immigration costs, or receive public assistance. People are encouraged to pay more if they own their home, have inheritance, work less by choice, or have high earning power based on their demographic position…The goal is that all members pay approximately the same percentage of their income toward their food, practicing economic solidarity.”

The additional funds from our redistribution and sustainer shares are designed to offset the cost of accessible shares and allow us to gift free shares to our Edmonston neighbors.

Members who purchase the Spring through Fall option today will receive a 5% discount. Members also have the option to pay for their CSA in full now, or in monthly installments.
