2021 CSA Member Section
Week #1: June 9 & June 10
Dear 2020 CSA members,
Here we are again at the beginning of a new season! The entire Miller Plant Farm family would like to thank you for participating and trusting us to grow your food.
This year is different in many ways. The Pandemic has changed our lives for the near future at least. We are changing our operating procedures to make your visit as safe as possible. Our goal is to give you the best quality, freshest and most nutritious vegetables and fruit in the safest environment possible.
On another note- it seems every year's weather is different and 2020 is no exception! This year we experienced an almost record-breaking cold May. The fruit growers lost much to late frosts after their trees were in bloom early. Therefore local produce is not in full swing yet. We are working hard to fill your shares. Please bear with us as we do the best we can, and we promise there will be a time when we will make it up to you!
From Our Farm to Your Family,
Dave

Some common questions & answers about our CSA
Register for our 2025 CSA Now!
Is Miller Plant Farm an organic producer?
At Miller Plant Farm we go to great lengths to determine the least amount of protectants and fertilizer to apply in order to achieve both the highest quality and an affordable product while staying environmentally friendly. We employ a scout to help us detect potential disease and insect problems. If a situation occurs that warrants action, control measures are taken in a safe and timely manner. In the fall of the year Miller Plant Farm samples the soil in each individual field on the farm where vegetables will be grown. From this test we are able to determine the nutrient needs for a particular crop for the next growing season. The planting of cover crops is also done to help build up the soil and prevent erosion. We work, live, and raise our families on our farm and feed our families with our fresh, delicious produce, as we have for six generations.
How did CSA originate?
It may be unclear just exactly where CSA was started, but many sources point to a group of Japanese women in the '60's who were concerned about careless use of pesticides, processed foods, and diminishing local food sources. These women connected with local food growers that they could trust and the CSA concept was born!

2025 CSA Options & Pricing
Our CSA is designed with the intention of providing participants with a good measure of farm-fresh, high quality produce each week. The weekly share for CSA will be pre-determined by Miller Plant Farm but will be diversified week to week to encourage participants to sample a wide range of our fresh produce. The variables will be largely due to supplies, often influenced by the weather. Our goal is to keep the produce offering continuously changing and encouraging participants to consume and enjoy fresh produce from our farm to your family.
