Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) near Newberg

Our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) has room for new members to benefit from all our organic veggies!

We usually have 5 or 6 kinds of veggies each week over the 16-week summer season and 11-week winter season. This will give you some diversity each week as the crops generally mature on a regular basis.

We have space for new members. Sign up for your CSA share now.

How does a CSA work?


A CSA is a subscription program where customers sign up and pay the farm in advance for a weekly share of that season’s produce. This helps the farmer to know how much produce to grow and gives him the resources to do it. The farmer and the customer both share in the risk and the benefits of the season.

What will I get?

A summer share will get you certified organic produce every Tuesday from July 16 through October 29. Mustard Seed Farms will deliver vegetables and berries to a drop point in Newberg, where you can come to pick up your produce. For those on the east side of the river, you can pick up at our farm.

Naturally, the available produce will follow the growing season. The variety and choices you will have in early July will be slimmer than from August on, but you will always get plenty of the tastiest, freshest vegetables and berries around. And come September and October, you will be taking home a tremendous variety! See the Summer Season and Winter Season produce lists below.

A winter share, with produce available every 2 weeks, runs November 6 through March and hopefully into early April. It will include winter squash, onions, potatoes, beets, cabbage, collards, and kale, with purple sprouting broccoli and cauliflower in the spring..

What does it cost?

A summer share (July-October) costs $450 and a winter share $280 or save by buying both for $700. This can be paid in full upon registration, or you can pay part with your registration and the rest 30 days later.
