National CSA Week

National CSA Week celebrates and raises awareness of Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs. A CSA member purchases a farm membership, or “share,” and typically receives a box of freshly picked produce each week during the harvest season. Memberships can provide farmers with funds at the beginning of the season and help build a reliable community around the farm.

The week also helps people understand what CSAs are, find farms in their area, and learn more about cooking, storing, and enjoying their shares. While many CSAs focus on fruits and vegetables, some farms offer flower, dairy, egg, or meat shares, along with optional add-ons. Shares may also differ in size, pickup arrangements, delivery options, and pricing. Green Umbrella’s guide to CSA Week suggests considering how much food a household uses, how adventurous its members are with produce, and whether weekly pickup is practical before choosing a CSA.

The CSA Innovation Network is listed as the organizer beginning in 2020. The observance lasted eight days in 2021 and has been scheduled for seven days in later years, including February 15–21 in 2026.

How to Observe National CSA Week

Celebrate by learning about CSA programs and looking for a farm that fits your household. Consider signing up for a share, asking about pickup or delivery options, and choosing a share size that matches how much food you can use. Prepare produce from a CSA, try an unfamiliar vegetable, or exchange cooking and storage ideas with other members. Farmers can also use the week to promote their CSAs and add their farms to the National CSA Map.
