Why Edible Earth Farm

The farm operates one of the oldest CSAs in Western PA. CSA sales account for over 98% of the farm's revenue. That means the CSA is their sole focus! Edible Earth Farm is the most diversified farm in Western PA raising organic fruit, organic vegetables, organic herbs, organic wild edibles, organic aromatherapy products, medicinal herbs, spices, organic mushrooms, pasture-raised chickens, goats, beef and pigs, organic hay, organic jarred goods and dried food. When you choose a farm who has such a strong commitment to their program, you don't have to worry about the best product going to markets or to restaurants. At Edible Earth Farm, all the product goes to its CSA members.


Edible Earth Farm's CSA members receive these unique benefits:


  • Ability to purchase eggs, organic jarred goods, organic coffee and dried goods

CSA Details

Regular CSA Share vs. Large CSA Share


Edible Earth Farm offers a 100% choice CSA experience, where members select all of their items. A Regular Main Season CSA consists of $24.50 worth of weekly credits towards the purchase of items from the farm store. A Large Main Season CSA consists of $31.00 worth of weekly credits towards the purchase of items from the farm store. Buy as much as you want and pay at checkout for the difference.
The farm grows 200+ varieties of crops in an effort to provide our CSA members with a wide variety of product.


Is Edible Earth Farm's CSA 100% Organic


It depends. Members can create a pure organic delivery by only selecting items that are grown by Edible Earth Farm or organic farm partners. Our members value a diverse CSA experience and there are very few organic producers in Western PA; therefore, we also source from other local and regional growers who demonstrate good growing practices. This ensures a highly varied share with sufficient and long-term supply of things people love.... like sweet corn! :)


Delivery Schedule

Main Season deliveries start the last week of June and run to the third week of October. Year-round members and members who join early will get access to pre-season deliveries, with no obligation to purchase.


What is a Vacation Hold and How Does it Work


Leaving town for a week? Heading on a family vacation? No problem! Simply log into your account and place your CSA delivery on hold. Then choose a future delivery to "double up" your share (receive double credits in one week). You can place your CSA on hold an unlimited number of times.


Access to Edible Earth Farm's Online Farm Store


Edible Earth Farm's CSA members have access to an online farm store during the Main Season CSA where additional items can be purchased and delivered with their weekly CSA. Items include: pastured meat, cheese, honey, eggs, mushrooms, sourdough bread, bulk produce, fruit, canned goods and more.


CSA Pricing


The farm employs a dynamic pricing model that rewards early signups. Advance to the registration page to see current pricing.


Is a CSA Right for You?

  • You are NOT looking for a Traditional CSA, where the farm assembles a box for you
  • It is important to you to have a relationship with a farm and the farmers who produce your food.
  • You want to better understand what goes into producing fresh food.
  • It is important to you to have super fresh, organically grown food from a local farm.
  • You like unusual foods and are you willing to try new things.
  • You are willing to adjust your cooking and eating habits to embrace the CSA way.
  • You are NOT looking for a “deal”.
  • You understand there is some risk in participating in a CSA.
  • You want to find a farm that is committed to providing positive social impact through contributions to local food banks, shelters and families in need.

This year is our first experience with a CSA and we are loving it so far. The quality of the produce has been excellent. We also love that we can buy coffee beans which are roasted to order, and the eggs we have been receiving are delicious.

The beautiful produce you delivered yesterday is traveling with us at my brother’s request. Last time he visited he ate your kale and proclaimed it magical. Lol. It’s really saying something as he rarely eats anything green. Thank you for growing our magical food!

This is my first year as a CSA member (small share) and I have LOVED it. I love the variety, the amount of food in the share, and being a part of your community. I am also looking forward to my winter share! Your newsletters have also been fantastic and I appreciate how open and honest you have been.
