“The average food item on a U.S. grocery shelf has traveled farther than most families go on their annual vacations.”

Barbara Kingsolver

"The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison."

Ann Wigmore

If you have a connection with the farm, if you’ve actually walked on the soil of the farm, it nourishes your soul.

Nigel Walker

When it becomes a revolutionary act to eat real food, we are in trouble.

Mark Hyman

"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to it's liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."

Thomas Jefferson
August 23, 1785

Why Choose Us?

Obviously, every CSA is not the same. What is a dream match for one member may be a total disaster for the next. So it's important that you find a CSA with a set of values and style that you are comfortable with.

So, what makes the Chimney Creek Farm CSA veggie box program a good fit for you?

We grow vegetables to their highest potential: organic standards, freshness that we measure in hours not days, and nutrient dense. Vegetables and herbs bursting with flavor and freshly harvested from our fields directly to you.

But every CSA should aspire to that we think.

So here is what sets us apart from the rest: It's more than just the veggies. Yes, the vegetables are important but so is the "more" part!

Our philosophy is not to dump a bunch of veggies on you each week and say good luck.

Think of your veggie box as a journey and we will be right beside you every step of the way.

We're all about great tasting vegetables combined with great tasting recipes that makes eating seasonally a joy. And all the information, hints, and tips to help get you into the groove and enhance a healthy lifestyle.

Here is how we accomplish that:

We are a real CSA farm - Community supported agriculture is all we do. The produce we grow goes to our members. No worries about whether the farmers market, a restaurant, or the wholesale market got better produce than you did.
This is a small family farm - We don't scrimp on customer service. Have a question? Talk directly to the farmers! We provide personalized service to all our members. You won't compete with any one else for our attention.
We offer free pick up on the farm or for a small fee home/office delivery. Anywhere in the Grand Rapids metro area (all suburbs included) plus parts of northeast Kent County.
No work on the farm is required.
Each week you get a picture and recipe filled newsletter that details what the veggie box includes and how to handle and store your produce. New recipes for each vegetable. We also share news from the farm and cover events and happenings in the local West Michigan food and farming community.
We give back to the local community - We donate excess produce to local food pantries.
Easy sign up and payment options. Lock in your veggie box with only $100 down.
We invite our members to come to the farm for a tour at the start of the season and celebrate the end of the season with a free pumpkin day for your family.
You will also have access to our Pinterest online recipe, cooking and storage tips database. You won't believe the cool things we are finding out there. New stuff every week. And as you know - free!
You are also invited to join us on Facebook. Each week we post a picture of that weeks veggie box along the names of the vegetables. And lots of sharing of all things relevant and not so much.
