By signing up for the Left Bower Farm CSA, you'll receive a box of organically grown vegetables every week all season long. In the early season, you might get baby salad greens, green onions and tender carrots. In the heat of summer, your CSA share will be brimming with fat heirloom tomatoes, spicy habanero peppers and pungent basil. In the Fall, you'll cut into sweet acorn squash and enjoy late broccoli and leeks. Everything will have been picked that same day to maximize flavor and freshness.

Left Bower Farm is a small family farm in Washington County, PA near the town of Avella. We specialize in a variety of seasonal, organically grown vegetables. 2011 will be our second season and we're excited to offer our produce through a CSA and every Thursday at the Main Street Farmer's Market in Washington, PA.

What is a CSA? CSA is short for Community Supported Agriculture. By subscribing to a CSA, you receive a box of fresh local vegetables once a week, all season long. To get on our mailing list for the 2011 CSA, contact us using the information below.
