2024 Gather Farm CSA

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a farm model that connects farmer and consumer more intimately whereby members buy shares of the farm's harvest either through weekly or full season subscriptions in advance and share in both the risk and the bounty throughout the growing season. This approach invests in and supports small scale farmers and cultivates a deeper connection to our food sources and our community.

Healthy Soil, Healthy Food

All shares include a wide variety of the freshest seasonal produce grown in the healthiest soils.

Gather Farm is committed to all organic and regenerative growing practices without synthetic inputs.

Healthy Communities

Members have the option to donate a week’s share to families struggling with food insecurity.

All produce and unclaimed shares left over each week are donated directly to the local food pantries serving our communities.

Why joining the Gather Farm CSA matters:

  1. Preserving Farmland: Since 1940 Rhode Island has lost 80% of our productive agricultural land. Between 1965 and 1990 the town of Johnston has lost 55% of our agricultural land. Your membership helps ensure this special piece of farmland – farmed for over a century and one of the closest farms to RI’s urban core – is protected from development.

  2. Supporting Farmers: Community Supported Agriculture provides job security to small scale farmers who are some of our most important community assets and the key to local food security. 

  3. Investing in Families: Our CSA membership ensures families have access to nutrient dense foods grown by farmers they know and trust.  Our farm only uses organic growing practices so you can be sure there are no chemicals used on the fruits and vegetables you will be eating.

  4. Growing Community: Joining a CSA is a great way to meet like minded people and to be a part of a community that shares your values of knowing where your food comes from. It’s a chance to be part of something positive that benefits not only you and your family but the greater community as well.

  5. Giving Back: Gather Farm donates produce every week to families struggling with food insecurity in our community. Everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food and it is our pleasure to give back to those that need help getting it.
