Pahl's Farm
A Maryland Family Tradition for Generations
Community Supported Agriculture
Community Supported Agriculture consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes the community's farm, with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production.
Members pledge in the form of membership dues in advance to cover the anticipated costs of the farm operation. In return, they receive shares in the farm's bounty throughout the growing season, as well as satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and participating directly in food production. Members also share in the risks of farming, including poor harvests due to unfavorable weather or pests.
Pahl's Farm CSA has been in operation since 2004 offering a variety of produce grown on the farm.
Following is a list of products typically shared from the farm:
Spring: Strawberries, Lettuce, Spring Onions, Peas, Cut Flowers and potted Flower plants, potted herbs
Summer: Black Raspberries, Black Berries, Asian Pears, Green Beans, Wax Beans, Radishes, Lettuce, Beets, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Collard, Kale and Mustard Greens, Bell Peppers, Hot Peppers, Tomatoes, Lima Beans, Zucchini, Summer Squash, Patty Pans, Okra, Eggplant, Sweet Corn, Potatoes, Swiss Chard, Turnips, Cantaloupe, Watermelon, Cut Flowers, Cut Herbs

We raise our own vegetable plants from seed in our greenhouses to put into the fields. We also raise beautiful bedding plants and hanging baskets, herb plants, perennials, and cut flower plants.
Visit our greenhouse to see the beauty which opens in late spring.
CSA Market Items
New to 2010 will be the addition of a "Market" table.
This table will feature new and limited quantity items for purchase on a first come-first-serve basis.
The items available are not a part of the CSA operation and represent some of the new areas of farming we are entering this year.
