2026 Three Farmers Cooperative CSA
Love & Grit, East Rivendell, & Barrow Farms
With heartfelt appreciation and regret, we must share that the Three Farmers CSA—a collaboration between Love & Grit Farm, East Rivendell Farm, and Barrow Hills Farm—will not be operating for the 2026 season. After careful consideration and discussion among the three farms, we made the difficult decision to pause the program before the season begins.
We are deeply grateful for the community that has supported this partnership over the past six years. Your trust and commitment to locally grown food have sustained our farms and the land we nurture. Even as our shared CSA pauses, we encourage you to continue supporting local farmers — by joining another CSA, visiting farm stands, or shopping at regional markets. Every purchase made close to home strengthens the local food system and helps small farms like ours thrive.
We provide a healthful, affordable, local option for food through our Community Supported Agriculture Program (CSA).
below you'll find info on what a csa is, how it works, and how to sign up so you can start your personal farm-to-table experience.
Here’s some key elements of Love & Grit farm’s CSA to consider when making your choice:
- When you join our CSA, you are supporting THREE farms. Yes, THREE!
- Love & Grit has partnered with East Rivendell Farm located in Damascus as well as Giovanni's Organic Farm in Dickerson, to provide a unique cooperative CSA program in our county for the multiple years in a row. Each week the produce you receive will include items grown in the fields' and tunnels of the different farms based on their individual specialities, creativity, and soil.
- Why Co-Op? This partnership allows us to build community within our business - growing together expands our knowledge & expertise by collaboration, allows us to mutually benefit from shared resources and logistics, and sends DEEP ROOTS into our local farming networks.
- Community. If you’re looking for a place to meet new people, have a chance to talk and get to know your farmers, and linger a while, this might be the farm for you. It’s no secret our pickup days are a chance to walk the herb garden, pet some kittens, and meet your neighbors.
- Fresh Cut Herbs. Each member has direct access to a self cutting herb garden which we’ll orient members to in the first weeks of the program. We strongly encourage everyone to make good use of it!
- Access to More Foods. Between pork shares, broiler chickens, chicken eggs, and often additional add-on produce items - you get a lot more than just vegetables in our CSA.
healthy living, made easy
the benefits of csa are longstanding.
Over 80 families collectively trust our farm food to provide them with healthy nutrition to maintain a sustainable lifestyle.
our street cred
"Love & Grit Farm is a slice of heaven! We absolutely LOVE visiting the farm and being CSA Members! We are excited to participate in the upcoming events and opportunities on the farm and couldn't speak more highly of what owner, Kristin is doing on and with her land!"
"This will be my third year in joining Love & Grit Farm LLC produce and herb shares. The weekly shares have been fresh and bountiful. At times extra produce is up for grabs free of charge. Talking with the farmers is a treat. Pick up is organized, orderly, and accommodating. An end of the season potluck is a joyous event."
"Their produce and products are delicious and grown with love and care. Their eggs are absolutely the best, most flavorful that we've ever had. And their hospitality and warmth is genuine and abundant. I can tell that Love & Grit loves nourishing and serving our community and I love being able to support them in return while also gaining delicious food."
"We've been supporting Love & Grit Farm since they started their CSA in 2020. I don't know how they do it, but it gets better every year! The vegetables and herbs are the best! The add on options from other local farmers and makers are always fun and delicious (beautiful flower bouquets, honey). If you are local, this is one business you'll want to support!"
