Vegetable & print CSA
CSA members will receive a weekly share of 7 seasonal vegetables, which we consider a good fit for a household size of 1 to 3 individuals. Each week’s share will also include an original print inspired by something in the box.
We’ve taken care to plan for as much variety as we can, anticipating that there will be some surprises based on this first season of growing pains and trial and error on our leased plot. On an ideal week, the CSA should include the following:
An allium (e.g. scallions, onions)
A bunch of fresh herbs (e.g. dill, cilantro, basil or parsley)
Washed and bagged baby greens (e.g. arugula, mustard greens, lettuce mix, chicories, etc.)
A bunched green or headed green (kale, chard, lettuce, radicchio)
3 seasonal specialties (tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash, eggplant, carrots, beets, turnips, radishes, peas, beans, etc.)

Without access to covered growing space this year, our CSA will run for 18-weeks starting in mid-June and ending in mid-October. Our shares break down to $40/week or $720 in total, with pick-up options in both Portland and Scarborough.
We care about finding solutions to make our shares accessible. If you need to pay in installments, email us here. We’re happy to work with you to make a plan. We’re also offering 5 fully-subsidized shares in 2025. Check out the section below if you’re interested in learning more about or applying for one of our No-Cost “Community Shares”.

Combining handmade prints and organic, seasonal vegetables in our collaborative Vegetable & Print CSA is a unique take on the CSA model that highlights a relationship between art and farming that we feel has always existed.
The guiding idea for the vegetable and print CSA is that both good food and art should be available and accessible to everyone. Printmaking practices enable artists to create duplicates and sell these editions at a relatively low cost. Including a print in each weekly CSA share will add an element of specialness, weaving cheap and accessible art into the fabric of the everyday.
We imagine members collecting, framing, scrapbooking and gifting the prints that they receive every week for the 18-week period, and hope that the conversation between the vegetables, the time of the season and the corresponding prints will in turn elevate our members' experience of all of these things.
Why prints?
Signing up for a CSA, or “Community Supported Agriculture” membership is a meaningful way to support a local farm. Paying farmers at the beginning of the season provides a sense of financial security, ensuring that they have money flowing in to pay for seeds, equipment, labor and other inputs while helping to mitigate the financial risk of crop failure. This added stability often means that consumers are getting a lower price for their produce.
As a CSA member, you will also have a direct line of communication with your farmer and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and provide meaningful feedback on what you’d like to see in your share. Feastland Farm CSA members will be part of a valuable community that incubates the farm in its early years, ensuring its stability and supporting its future growth.

No-Cost “Community Shares”
Fresh, nutritious food should be for everyone, yet we all know prices for vegetables grown locally and organically are often prohibitive. And although art exists in a different tier of "usefulness", we believe that having regular access to art has the potential to heal and inspire, feeding us in more intangible ways.
One of our central goals for the farm is to remain financially viable while also looking for creative ways to make our CSA more accessible. While it’s become clear that we can’t exclusively rely on government funding to achieve this goal, we believe the “community-support” that’s naturally built into the CSA model can extend to supporting those that may not otherwise be able to afford a membership.
We recognize that this does not get at the root of the countless systemic inequities and broken structures that put a high price tag on organic food. With that being said, using a mutual-aid approach to cover the funds needed for a handful of our CSA shares is something small we can try in the short-term to get our vegetables to more people.
In 2025, we are offering 5 of our 40 shares at no-cost to members of our community that are unable to afford a full-priced share. If the cost of our CSA is at all a barrier to you, please fill out the form below to apply for a free 18-week share.
For those of you who may have the ability to give towards our Community Share Fund, follow the link to our GoFundMe to donate (anything helps!). Stay tuned throughout the season, as we’ll be presenting other fun opportunities to contribute to our Community Share Fund!
