What is Farm Club?
A Farm Club membership allows you the flexibility of a hectic summer travel schedule, picky eaters, or specialized dietary needs. Get exactly what you want, exactly when you want it with a debit approach to the farm share.
Members will receive a pre-loaded card to use at the Blacksburg Farmers Market* all season, April-November. There is no limit to how much you can use on any given transaction, and no requirement to come every week. Your Farm Club Card earns you a 10% discount on all farm goods. Members also receive pre-order privilege, so you can ensure that the items you want are always available, no matter what time you make it to the Farmers Market.
Farm Club was born out of the traditional CSA model, but has adapted over the years to support your preferred shopping habits and our capacity as a small family farm. Think of it like a veggie subscription service, but better!
Each week, members will receive an email newsletter highlighting available produce, storage and preparation tips, recipes, stories from the field, and more!

The farm is Certified Naturally Grown!
Everything we raise, from the fruits and veggies to our animals, is produced with a deep commitment to responsible ecological practices.
We never use synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. We prioritize soil health through regenerative agricultural principals like no-till, responsible compost sourcing, and facilitating a diverse ecosystem of plant and animals that work in harmony with nature. In short, all our growing practices are “organic” in the heart-level meaning of the word. However we will not be pursuing USDA Organic certification, as it is cost-prohibitive and administratively taxing beyond what our small farm can afford.
You are always welcome to ask questions about our growing practices and we welcome you to come see for yourself how your food is being grown!

Absolutely! Please reach out if you would like to schedule a visit for a different day or time, or if you would like to bring guests beyond your immediate family. For the health and safety of our livestock and garden, dogs are not permitted.
Remember, the farm is our home! While we deeply desire to share it with our community, it is important for our family to also set appropriate boundaries. Please do not show up unannounced during non-pickup hours.
