2026 CSA

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

Have you been looking for a cost effective and easy way to get a weekly supply of fruits & veggies from a local, sustainable grower? Look no further than the Further Up Farms CSA program.

CHOOSE YOUR SESSION, CUSTOMIZE YOUR SHARE & SELECT YOUR PICKUP LOCATION.

Each Full CSA share feeds approximately 2-4 people, and includes $35-$50 worth of pesticide-free, herbicide-free, fresh seasonal veggies each week. You can purchase one share, a half share, or a family size share—whatever fits your produce needs.

Our *New* Family Share includes the same items as the Full Share, but in larger quantities for larger households. It is worth noting that customers following a vegetarian diet often prefer to size up their share, while those who also eat meat find our recommended size to be about right. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about which share size might be right for you!

You can sign up for an individual session; Spring, Summer, or Fall—or get a 10% discount if you commit to All Season!

Microgreens Option

Add 1 -3 Boxes of Microgreens each week for only $4.50/ea additional cost! Pick your favorites from our selection of Microgreens each week.

NEW!!! Fruit Option

Add a weekly supply of Fruit along with your veggies. In order to qualify for this option, you will need to sign up for All Season and select the number of fruit shares you would like to receive. We will be bringing in Fruit from our friends on the Western Slope and the Rocky Ford Valley this year to curate a weekly fruit share. The average value of this option will be $25 per week, but will be more heavily weighted in the summer session due to the seasonal nature of growing fruit in Colorado. We will be including things like black berries, raspberries, strawberries, apples, apricots, peaches, apples, pears, watermelon, cantaloupe, and more!

Add Extra Tomatoes

Add extra tomatoes each week (starting in July) for just $7 per pound! We will be including fewer tomatoes in the weekly CSA share this year, so for all the tomato lovers out there, this option will guarantee you get tomatoes every week beginning when they start to ripen in July. This option will also get you extra tomatoes on the weeks when they are already included in your share.

VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLAR

CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture,” and is not only an amazing way to support your health with more nutrient dense produce, but is a wonderful way to vote with your dollar for local, sustainable, and environmentally considerate agriculture. CSA members are invited to share in the joys, and the risks of small scale agriculture, which allows them to connect deeply with their farmers and the earth where their food is grown.
