Homefields Care Farm is Lancaster County’s longest continually operating community-supported agriculture program and has created vocational and volunteer opportunities for hundreds of people who have a disability or other barriers to traditional employment. We’ve provided over 300 varieties of fresh fruit and vegetables to families like yours for 25 years.


Join Homefields Care Farm’s CSA

Our Summer season runs from the last week in May through the beginning of November. Pickups happen on our farm with the option for members to come anytime during our pickup hours. Each share includes weekly access to our pick-your-own fields full of beautiful flowers, aromatic herbs, sweet to scorching hot peppers, juicy cherry tomatoes, and much more. 

When the season opens, you’ll have the option to set your vegetable preferences, and each week throughout the season, a customized share will be generated for you depending on those tastes and the farm’s harvest. Every week, you will get a preview of your share and have a chance to swap items in and out of your share from the harvest list…all before you pick up!

Our online Farm Stand offers single-share purchases for folks who aren’t yet sure about committing to the full season. And pro-ration is automatic for those who join us after the season has begun. 

Normal pickup times at the Farm are: Friday 11am–6pm • Saturday 9am–1pm. First pickup: May 24. Last one: Nov 2.
