Rootbound Farm

Join us on the farm this weekend!

We have two opportunities to visit the farm this weekend—on Friday morning and Sunday afternoon.

Our guided Farm Walks are a wonderful way to experience the farm firsthand and learn about our growing practices directly from Rootbound Farm Founder and Farmer, Ben Abell. Ask your burning questions or just come with an open mind and take it all in.

Come explore the fields, meet the animals, and connect with the people who grow your food.

Farm Walks are a ticketed event. Current CSA Member Families register for free, while the general public can join for $10/person admission.

CSA starts THIS WEEK! It’s not too late to sign up and join us for customizable farm shares. Why join a CSA?

🥕Quality you can see, grown by farmers who you know and trust. If you want a deeper connection to your farming community and your food, here it is!

🥦CSA boxes are customizable every week. You select all the items in your weekly share - mix and match to meet your needs

🫜Convenience that fits into your routine. The best habits are nurtured. Eating locally is a discipline that requires practice, intention, and convenience. CSA members build lasting routines that have positive impacts on their health and lives.

🌾Invest in your community. We have the opportunity to invest in the world we want to see - Community Supported Agriculture keeps small farms viable, grocery dollars local (supporting dozens of other local businesses along the way), and invests in dignified farm labor and sustainable farming practices.

🌱Building connections to the earth and seasonal cycles. CSA helps us slow down. By cooking a meal with fresh seasonal ingredients, we connect to where our food comes from and to the people who grow it.

🌱Big planting energy over here for the past 2 weeks! What a push it has been. Lettuces, kale, beets, broccoli, carrots, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, tomatoes, potatoes…next up this week…corn, cucumbers, and summer squash!

There’s no other time of year quite like this narrow spring window, when so much of our early season success rides on the critical opportunity to get in the fields and plant! Mother nature has to give us the right conditions, and we have to be ready with irrigation lines in place, tractors and implements cleaned and functioning at their best, plants queued up, row covers organized and ready, and people ready to jump in and go until the job is finished for the day.

CSA is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER - deliveries start in 5 weeks! Sign ups are open at https://csa.farmigo.com/join/rootboundfarmcsa/CSA2026
