Keep your family eating delicious, fresh, clean, nutritious local greens, herbs and roots with a subscription to one of our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) options! CSA is a way to buy local food directly from the Chief Farmer at Boxcar Greens. No middle men. With a Boxcar Greens CSA subscription, you will get fresh produce on a weekly or biweekly timeframe. No longer will you have to pick over store bought produce grown in California or Mexico, grown and handled by multiple people and shipped for days while losing nutritional value. Leave it to family-owned to Boxcar Greens and you will never go back to store greens again.
