Greetings!
Farmer Ryan and I are happy to partner with Munson Medical Center again this season to bring our hyper-fresh, super nutritious, organic produce to you, each Thursday from 3:45 - 5:15 PM, in the foundation parking lot, starting June 14th.
Click on any of these topics to get a full explanation of how our CSA works, What's in it, share sizes , and 7 reasons to join.
MMC is offering *payroll deduction to all who'd like an every other week share (11 weeks total), 22-week veggie small or large family share. (You may sign up for our berry, pork, chicken, fish & lamb shares too,
and purchase those directly from Providence Organic Farm.)
*You must turn in this Payroll Deduct form. no later than June 1st. Simply fill out on your computer, save it & attach it to an email back to [email protected].
Bonus: Refer a friend and have them mention your name for $10.00 bonus "Providence Cash" to spend on add-ons through out the season.
*AND - Ryan and I are giving all new members a free, comprehensive 228 pg. CSA Veggie Cookbook to give you storage tips & hundreds of recipes!
How Does Providence CSA's Veggie Share Work?
Over the season, we grow over 200 different varieties of certified organic vegetables in about 70 different categories. Each weekend, Ryan & I walk the gardens and "build" your CSA garden share... based on what's ready to harvest, the size of your share & what we put in your box last week.
Then we send you the list of the items we chose, along with all the other items available. (That way, you may switch out your vegetables to fit your likes and needs.
Just email what you would like to add OR changes you'd like to make us by Tuesday night, and we're all set...
But in case you forget... We will also be bringing a "switch out cooler" each Thursday that members may use to exchange items.)
What's in a Providence CSA Share?
Each week, we strive to give you a different box. Variety is key in a great CSA. Most of the time our CSA boxes are comprised of these elements, but remember, you can always switch out items!

Seven Reasons to
1. Outstanding Taste & Quality.
"Beautiful, delicious fresh produce." Charlotte Comfort
"We love everything about getting a weekly box full of fresh, organic greatness. One of our favorite parts is trying new veggies and new recipes and not to mention it forces us to eat so much healthier!" Jenn Glynn
2. Healthier you, healthier family!
It's hard to get 4-6 servings of antioxidant-rich veggies in a day.
We can help! Ryan & I give ourselves the same large family share we pass out each week.
Ryan& I both craft quick, simple & amazing dishes, eating most of our own food at every meal. We will be sharing our own proven recipes and CSA hacks to help you get the most out of your box.
3. CHOICE. You choose your veggies, you can put your share on hold, and you change your pick-up location.
4. Clean produce. We not only obtain certified organic status through OEFFA each year, we are certified in Group GAP for food safety. We sanitize totes, sinks & surfaces, wear gloves or follow strict hand-washing protocols, and wash most of your produce except for items that should never be washed by us, such as strawberries. These are just a few examples of the many rules we follow to earn our GAP certification each year.
5. Customer Communication & Service
Members receive emails each week with box contents, recipes and more... We are very quick to answer email questions or concerns, give you
6. Access to Add-ons like our ridiculously good honey, pastured chicken & pork, grass-fed beef & lamb.
