Levity Farms CSA
Community Supported Agriculture
Connecting our local community directly to the farm, turning would-be customers into essential farm members. Support the farm by buying-in at the beginning of the season, and enjoy your shares of each weekly harvest.
Your initial “buy-in” to the farm allows us as farmers to source seeds, prep the fields, take care of the produce, and harvest/present the produce to YOU. Essentially, the farm belongs to you as members. Look at it as YOUR source for health and vitality.
How it works
After purchase you will be notified by receipt. A week before the first pickup we will send you a newsletter that will remind you of details of pickup.
For 8 Saturdays, you will show up at the farmers market. You will then receive your weekly share. We will be there the entire time answering questions and becoming friends.
We will curate your share for you each week, and you will have the option to swap out any items in your share with other choices from our market table.

Joining the Levity Farms CSA
To become a member, sign up for our CSA anytime before the season starts. Purchasing your membership ensures you'll receive a share of each week's harvest, which can be picked up at your chosen location. Don’t worry, we'll send weekly emails to help remind you each week, along with recipes and information about the harvest.
Weekly Shares
Just as each week’s harvest will be different, so will each week’s member share. The average share will include 5-7 items. These are examples of CSA shares for a couple of weeks in the Summer:
June - Summer lettuce, Swiss chard, carrots, green onions, beets, cilantro
July - Tomatoes, green beans, potatoes, watermelon radishes, yellow and red onions, sweet peppers, basil
Picking Up Your Weekly Share
Summer’s only pick-up option is the Union County Farmers Market, which opens at 8:00 AM and closes at 1:00 PM. We encourage you to shop from our fellow local vendors while you’re there!
Pricing
The cost for a season’s 8 shares is $300, which averages $37.50 per share. Each share is enough fresh produce for 1–2 people per week. If you’ve got a larger family or are a serious veggie enthusiast (go you!), consider a double share.
By paying for the season up front, you’re not only reserving your share of fresh, organically-grown produce, you’re also supporting our farm and helping sustain the local food movement here in Southern Appalachia.
FAQs
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, creating a strong, healthy connection between farmers and their local communities. Instead of traditional customers, CSA farms are backed by a community of members who "buy in" at the start of the season. This early support helps cover key upfront costs—like seeds, compost, and equipment maintenance—allowing the farm to thrive.
In return, members secure a weekly share of the farm’s harvest throughout the season. It’s a win for everyone: farmers gain financial stability, members enjoy a steady supply of fresh, local produce, and the community grows closer to the land that nourishes it. CSA also promotes food sovereignty by reducing dependence on grocery stores and bringing families back to the roots of their food.
What makes Levity Farms CSA unique?
As a Levity Farms CSA member, you’ll enjoy the same top-quality produce we’ve proudly supplied to Atlanta’s best chefs for nearly a decade. Our experience growing for farmers markets has taught us exactly what folks want in their weekly haul—vibrant, nutrient-dense, and flavor-packed veggies. Working closely with top chefs has shaped our high standards for quality, which we continue to refine year after year. Beyond our passion for exceptional produce, we’re equally driven by a love for building community around food and family, growing our impact on the local food scene with every season.
With the Levity Farms CSA, we will set up a table of all of our harvest for you to choose from. This is not just a weekly box of produce, its a chance for you to see our harvests and choose the items that you would like
What types of crops will be in my weekly shares?
In addition to the staple market-table favorites, we have always enjoyed growing specialty produce, items that aren’t typically found at your local grocery store or market. After almost a decade of growing specialty produce for some of Atlanta’s top chefs, while still maintaining a stable presence at local farmers markets, we have developed a repertoire of high-quality crops that we grow each year. As the seasons change, so do our harvests. A typical Fall will see the following crops, plus more:
salad mix, head lettuces, carrots, radishes, turnips, squash, chard, kale, kohlrabi, sweet potatoes, cabbages, potatoes, broccoli, onions, flower bouquets, fresh herbs, and more.
Is your farm Organic?
We always tell folks we’re “little-o organic”, as opposed to “big-O Organic”. We are not USDA Certified Organic, because we have never opted for certification. The process is costly and very intense to procure, and frankly, our practices are what we refer to as “beyond Organic”. We use very few soil amendments, and the few we do use are OMRI-listed (aka compliant with USDA Organic standards). Our focus is on building healthy soil through natural means, inspired by our Permaculture background and informed by our studies of regenerative farming methods. In addition to locally-sourced compost, we may use any of the following throughout the year:
Mikrobs - Mikrobs is an organic microbial superpack that contains zero chemicals. A single 8 oz. Mikrobs pouch contains over 100 billion microbes, each contributing to boost the growth of plants and their roots in healthy, effective ways, while simultaneously supporting the sustainability of the soil in which the plants are grown in.
Fish fertilizer - We will occasionally spray our fields with Neptune’s Harvest Fish Hydrolysate to give newly-sprouted trays or freshly-planted crops in the field a little extra boost in fertility, though our newly adopted biodynamic practices have minimized any need for soluble fertilizers.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) - a bacterium that is found naturally in soils throughout the world. We occasionally apply Bt to our tomatoes, for example, in the unfortunate event that pressure from hornworms has become almost unbearable. Bt produces a spore that is toxic to the pest, thus mitigating the negative effects of infestation on this highly-important Summer MVP.
Pest infestation generally occurs when the soil is imbalanced, so our first line of defense against pests is maintaining healthy soil through composting, minimal tillage, cover cropping, crop rotation, microbial applications, and biodynamic preparations.
Do you guarantee bountiful harvests each week?
A key part of the CSA model is sharing both the risks and rewards of farming. Since all our produce is grown in soil and exposed to nature’s unpredictability—like extreme weather, pests, and fluctuating rainfall—crop loss is always a possibility. We take every step to protect our crops, using practices like cover cropping, crop rotation, minimal tillage, and composting to build healthy, resilient soil. Our small scale (less than 2 acres) allows us to monitor conditions closely and address potential issues early.
While occasional setbacks may happen, most weeks will bring an abundance of beautiful, nutrient-dense produce—sometimes more than we can fit into your shares! If a significant crop failure occurs, we’ll supplement with organic produce from trusted local farms to ensure you still receive the high-quality veggies you expect. By joining our CSA, you’ll share in the ups and downs of farm life while enjoying the best of what each season has to offer.
What if I miss a week? Or can’t pickup?
If you are unable to pickup a share, or are out of town, feel free to have a neighbor or a friend pickup the share for you. If we have availability, you are more than welcome to take a bit extra if you miss a week. We keep our membership to a manageable number so that we can work closely with each member if any issues arise.
What if Levity Farms has an emergency and can not do pickups?
If we have a family emergency and we can not do pickups for some reason, we will then push the CSA back and add weeks to the program.
Do you sell more than just produce?
