Each CSA delivers to different locations in and around Philadelphia as well as at the farm or close by. They differ in products offered and cost. The first three are farmer choice CSAs; Red Earth Farm offers member choice. Details on our website.

Wimer’s Organics CSA is looking for hosts for the locations listed below. Site hosts get a free share, provided their site has at least 15 members, good security, shade, and access for delivery and members. Contact info at farmtocity.org if you are interested.
