CSA: Community-Supported Agriculture
CMFH 2026 CSA Programs
Enjoy fresh, seasonal produce while supporting Central Montana farms. CSA members receive a weekly box of vegetables sourced from multiple Central Montana Food Hub producers. Each box reflects what is freshest and most abundant during the growing season, so contents will change throughout the summer and fall. Each CSA box supports multiple Central Montana farms and helps strengthen our regional food system.
Sales are expected to open Monday, March 30, 2026. This date may be adjusted slightly if needed. Only 40 CSA shares will be available for the 2026 season
How a CMFH CSA Works:
Sign up for a CSA Share. This year, we will be offering a Full Season share (20 weeks) or a Half Season share (10 weeks).
→
Each week, we select fresh, seasonal items from local producers just for you. We will email you on Thursdays to let you know what’s in the box in case you want to add anything from our online store.
→
Pick up your CSA box from one of our community drop-off locations on Wednesday afternoons. For an added fee, we can also deliver right to your door!

CSA shares will not be available for the Tuesday pickup/delivery route (Livingston, Big Timber, and Melville). Customers on the Tuesday route may still place weekly orders, although some products and producers may be limited compared to CSA offerings.

CSA boxes typically contain 5-8 seasonal items, depending on the time of year.
CSA boxes will contain a mix of products from Central Montana Food Hub producers and will not necessarily be organically grown. If certified organic produce is important to you, we recommend ordering weekly instead of purchasing a CSA share so you can select specific products.
Typical items may include lettuce, salad greens, radishes, carrots, beets, beans, peas, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and garlic.
Weekly CSA Email
Members will receive a weekly “What’s in the Box” email on Thursdays the week prior to pickup. This allows customers to see what is coming in their CSA and still add additional items to their weekly order if desired.
