Growing More Than Food—We’re Growing Community
At Farmer Dave’s, we believe a farm should nourish more than just the people who eat its food. Every season, we work to create spaces where neighbors gather, kids connect with the land, and families build traditions together. From CSA pickups and school tours to community events, farm stands, neighborhood farmers’ markets, and partnerships with local organizations, we’re proud to be part of the fabric of the communities we serve. Growing healthy food is at the heart of what we do — but growing connection, stewardship, and a sense of belonging is what makes the work truly meaningful.
The Team That Makes the Farm Happen
Our staff is a dedicated team of farmers, growers, bakers, and support staff who care deeply about the food we grow and the community we serve. From planting and harvest to packing shares and welcoming members, each person plays a vital role in bringing fresh, local food from our fields to your table.

Community Impact: Growing Stronger Communities Together
Community is at the heart of Farmer Dave’s. Through fundraising partnerships, internship opportunities, green initiatives, and expanded food access programs, we work to support people, protect the environment, and strengthen the local food system beyond our fields.
What Our Community Is Saying
"Being a member has made my husband and me eat more vegetables. I like trying new vegetables that I would not normally buy if I saw them in the grocery store. I like knowing that we are supporting something local and helping the environment by eating locally grown, in season vegetables."
— Patricia
"My family has been a member of the CSA for a few years now. When we first started I was intimidated by all the veggies I didn’t know. However your website is amazing for identifying veggies and getting ideas for recipes. You have helped me learn how to eat healthy and in season, and in turn teach my family."
— Angela
“Everyone at Farmer Dave’s is dedicated to excellent customer service too. I have always had wonderful interactions with everyone on the farm. Thank you for all that you do.”
— Lori
“We eat better year round, learn new ways to prepare and preserve healthy food, support our environment and community and enjoy a fun treasure hunt at every pick up with staff to answer questions."
— Susan
“Farmer Dave's was great! Did carrots and potatoes picking in the fields. Was so much fun and easier then we thought it would be. They have apples and pumpkin picking too. Was an awesome experience thank you for the adventure and memories. We will definitely be back next season! The store is great also! Definitely check this farm out, kids of all ages will love it.”
— Leona
“I have yet to find fresher fruits and vegetables anywhere… The store is clean and maintained well, offering a reasonably priced and broad selection of whatever is in season at the time and available from its own and other local farms. The staff is always courteous and helpful, making each visit a pleasant trip. I highly recommend to anyone looking for fresh, locally locally grown produce. On a side note, the ice cream shop on site is absolutely amazing."
— Thomas
“They are the nicest people, ever! Very informative and kind. Love getting fresh produce, 10x better than any grocery store."
— Coco
“We absolutely love our Farmer Dave's CSA. We get a good variety of fresh produce and support the farm."
— Windy
“It has been amazing and wonderful to see Farmer Dave grow! The new farm stand store is SPECTACULAR and they are doing some great things. They have added so much fresh baked items, jams, and more to the already impressive selection of vegetables. We got at least once or twice a week and can't imagine life without them now. Thank you!!!"
— Mark
“I've been a Farmer Dave's CSA member for nearly 10-years. They have had the best and most consistent produce over the years despite unseasonal temperatures and too much or too little rain. I've tried both the pick-up and delivery options and love them both and the staff have always been helpful, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Supporting your local farms and getting fresh produce every week is always a good thing; it's even better with Farmer Dave's."
— Sara
“We've been part of the Farmer Dave's CSA for years and love it. The amount of food you get each week is generous, plus it tastes great and lasts so much longer than grocery store produce. You also frequently get bonus items and add ons are available. The bakery items are delicious. The PYO produce is so fun because they offer unique items like potatoes and carrots in addition to the usual fruits. Definitely check out this lovely farm!"
— Amanda
“We LOVE Farmer Dave's! They are so great – we've been CSA members for years and the produce and people are both awesome. Highly recommend!!"
