CSA

At Olive Hill we offer our clients both a unique, omnivorous CSA experience and a more traditional Vegetarian CSA option. Where most farms focus on just produce or just meat, we aim to provide our clients with a more balanced local diet, with just one stop shopping. Besides weekly (or bi-weekly for Half Share members) deliveries of farm fresh products CSA subscribers also receive additional bonuses such as a year-round discount on our other products — pastured pork, turkey and heritage goose — and access to our online ala carte menu for easy ordering.

Each week you will receive a variety of produce based on which of the above is ripe. Occasionally we may also source other value added items we do not grow — such as berries, cherries, apples, peaches and other fruits — from other Michigan farms to add to the variety and help enrich your in-season eating experience. Please note we will only source food from other farms located right here in Michigan and make every effort to choose farms that share our values as much as possible. In the event we include these types of value added items we will notify you of the farm from which they were sourced.
