About CSA Membership
your best way to support the farm
The purchase of Vibrant Farm CSA ("Community Supported Agriculture") Membership Balance is a convenient way to access fresh vegetables offered every week grown by Meghan, Curtis, and the talented Vibrant Farm crew. It is also the best way to support the farm.
Our 2021 CSA Members were a vital key to our farm’s financial sustainability in our first season growing in Bantam, CT. This encouraging group of brave early adopters proved their commitment to local food resilience by purchasing their share of the harvest in advance of the season. As a startup and community-supported farm, these early commitments are a necessary component to our seasonal cash flow.

Our CSA is a declining balance program that works like a gift card.
CSA Balance can be redeemed for produce online or in person.
We also offer curated “boxes” similar to the classic CSA model.
Check our Homepage for current pickup, markets, and pop-up schedule.
Our CSA is flexible for you.
You are free to use your Balance
