What if eating more vegetables became something you just… did? 🥕🥬

Not because you suddenly became a meal-planning expert—but because every week, a bag of fresh, seasonal vegetables showed up and you knew what to do with them.

That’s what we’re hoping to create with our Fall CSA at DeFeo Family Farm

Each week, we’ll choose 5 items that are in season and ready to eat. Most will come straight from our farm, where we grow using organic practices, and we’ll occasionally supplement with produce from other local organic farms so we can give you a useful, well-rounded fall share.

And we’ll help with the “Okay…now what do I do with this?” part too.

You’ll get recipes, storage tips, and ideas for using your vegetables throughout the week, plus our CSA User Guide, a private Facebook group, and some fun challenges and raffles along the way.

Our goal is bigger than sending you home with vegetables. We want to help you build the habit of eating with the seasons—learning how to cook vegetables simply, discovering what you like, and even learning how to store some of the fall harvest for winter.

We’re farmers, teachers, and home cooks ourselves. We wear a lot of hats, just like you do, and we want this CSA to feel manageable for real life.

Because we’re a small farm, we get to know the people we grow for. We listen to your feedback, learn what works, and keep making the CSA better together.

🌱 Fall CSA
September 2 – November 25 (you can start any time)
5 farmer-selected items each week
$25/week
On-farm pickup OR free home delivery (select locations)
We also deliver mushrooms from Inspiration Acres , coffee from Black Mountain Roasters, and eggs and frozen meat products from Back Rhodes Farm

If you’ve been curious about joining a CSA but worried it would be too much food, too much work, or you wouldn’t know what to do with everything, this is the CSA we designed for you.

🍂 Curious about the Fall CSA? Send us a message! We’d be happy to answer your questions and help you decide if it’s a good fit for you.

Today Amy and I bid farewell to the last of our summer student helpers, including two former students of mine from Georgetown Prep

Peter Rodriguez (Prep ’26) spent two full weeks with us during some of the hottest and wettest days of the summer. I really appreciated Peter’s stamina and perseverance. Even on a particularly miserable rainy day when I gave him the opportunity to call it quits, he simply put on a raincoat and went back to work. Peter will be attending Notre Dame this fall, where he plans to study pre-med.

Chase Davenport (Prep ’25) returned for a second season on the farm this year. I was stoked that he came back, especially after we spent a grueling afternoon last summer weeding onions in nearly 100°F temperatures! This year wasn't much cooler, but Chase helped with trellising cucumbers, laying down landscape fabric and weeding like a pro. Chase will be a sophomore at the University of Michigan, where he is studying mechanical engineering.

This year, the farm also had the pleasure of hosting two volunteers who interned with Farm to School Frederick this summer. Emilie Culler, a rising senior at Florida State University studying public health, and Ava Colianne, a rising junior at Purdue University studying Sustainable Food and Farming Systems, brought so much enthusiasm, curiosity, and optimism to the farm. We had some great conversations about sustainable agriculture, community health, and the challenges of food insecurity. They learned quickly, worked hard, and got really good at harvesting carrots! (and the peppers they planted are some of the best I ever have grown:)

I am incredibly grateful to all of these students for spending part of their summer with us. Their work helped keep the farm going and helped us provide high quality food to our community. I hope to continue to find ways to support students on my farm as the years go forward.

And finally, thank you to all of our customers who help make these opportunities possible. When you support our farm, you are not only helping us grow and provide fresh food for our community. You are also helping us create a place where students can learn, gain hands on experience, and develop a better understanding of where our food comes from.

🍅 Bulk Tomatoes Available! 🍅

We have an abundance of beautiful red slicing tomatoes, including tomato seconds, right now! If you’re looking for tomatoes for canning, sauce, salsa, or freezing, send me a message. Pickup is available right here at the farm on Old Hagerstown Rd!

Even if you’re short on time and love canning tomatoes like I do, I’ve found that freezing tomatoes is the quickest and easiest way to put them away for later. Then, when things slow down in the winter, you can pull them out of the freezer and easily turn them into sauce. This time of year I never seem to have enough hours in the day, so my solution is usually to freeze and freeze tomatoes until I finally have time to deal with them!

If you’d like to put some summer tomatoes away for winter too, message me to find out more. 🍅

Some people have acres and acres of land. Some people have a whole lot of fancy equipment. And then there's Chris from DeFeo Family Farm, who somehow manages to grow an absolutely ridiculous amount of beautiful produce on a relatively small piece of ground just south of Myersville.

It's almost annoying how good he is at it.

Behind all the fresh vegetables you see at the market is a whole lot of planning, patience, problem-solving, and probably more spreadsheets and farm nerdiness than most of us could handle. Chris is constantly experimenting, improving, and finding ways to get the most out of every square foot of his farm.
