Our farm stand is open 7 Days a week from 9-5 pm. We have some local and non local veggies during this time of year not to mention our beautiful FLowers!!! Our hanging baskets are unlike any I have seen. We also have individual plants if you prefer to create your own look. Come and see us!!! Happy mother's day.

We are about to deliver our last set of Winter shares this week! Thank you all for your unwaivering support this past season. Farming is full of ups and downs that are often hard to verbalize and being a part of our farm family gives you a front row seat to the Zahradka Farm Experience! :) It's all about education and knowledge so please spread word of your experience with us.

There are spots stll available at a discount for the Summer program so don't forget so reserve yours today! Thanks again everyone. The summer program starts the first week in June. See you then!

Hi All! This Saturday is the first Severna Park Farmer's market of the year so we hope to see you all there. We will be bringing your shares to the Market if you would like to pick them up but if you don't make it... no biggie, we will have them delivered later that day. Thanks for all of your support throughout the year. We couldnt do it without you!

Hello envy one! I hope you are enjoying your break! Our meat delivery wasn't dropped off to the farm this week. Apparently there was some trouble the farm we get our meat from. I really do apologize and if you don't receive meat this week we will double you up on the next delivery. Again I'm sorry and thank you all for your support. Small farms can be quite unpredictable at times!

Hello All!

I hope all of you have been enjoying the winter program. It takes a lot of extra prep to follow through with a winter CSA but it is awesome to be one of the only LOCAL programs during this time of year!!! We are officially opening Summer CSA sign up to the public so if you haven't had a chance to sign up... now is the time to go ahead and do so. PLease remember that we do offer a payment plan to help out. Along with the 10% discount for paying in full we are offering another opportunity to save some money on your share this summer...

We are extending the opportunity to current members to work at our CSA locations in exchange to a discount on their share. For every day you volunteer, you will receive one week free in the Summer program. This will be on a first come first serve basis so if this is something you are interested in please contact me ASAP! You will be asked to

1. arrive to the drop off location on time the day(s) you have signed up for

2. check off names and hand out shares

3. help out here and there at the market itself

4. be able to give some basic information about the CSA to customers

I will be filling out a work calender within the next few weeks and we would love to see some CSA names on it. We like to see our members get involved. What better way to advertise than someone with first hand experience speaking with potential customers at the pick up locations? Please understand that if you decide to try this "work exchange" program, we will be depending on your presence as part of our staff on the days you sign up for. If you can work on a more regular basis such as every week or every other week that would be awesome for the farm and you could potentially get your share for free!

Like I said please let me know ASAP if you are interested by emailing   ZFARMCSA@yahoo.com

Thanks for your support!

Hello All,

Welcome to week 11!!! Now that George is up and about, the orders should all be as planned. Just a reminder, the new sign up for the Summer CSA program is up and ready to receive new members. So far this winter we have been blessed with amazing weather and so our crops have pretty plentiful for this season and I hope you all are enjoying everything! We just put up our hoop houses to grow some early tomatoes and we have started planiting in the green houses. Yippie, let the craziness begin!

Hi Everyone!

We had an emergency this week and have been struggleing to keep things running as smooth as possible. I have not had access to a computer until today. I know you normally have much more time to place your orders so I am going to leave the store open until late Tuesday night. If we do not receie an order from you this week we will contact you to make sure you will be home and want your order and give a farmer's choice for this week only. If you have any questions or concerns. Please email me. I am using my phone for emergencies only. Thank you for your support. Rest assured, the CSA program will continue on a regular basis!!! THanks again!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I just posted the Sign up for the Summer/Fall 2012 CSA program. As usual, our current members are reserved as spot for the first week of sign up. Then the registration is opened to the public. We are offering a 10% discount for a full payment at sign up. After the official sign up deadline (April 30th) we will no longer offer a discount.

Please keep in mind that spots are limited and once we reach our limit we can not accept new members. Each member has the option of making 4 payments or paying for their share in full. When you sign up you will be asked to make your first payment (down payment) of 25% to reserve your share. The next payment will not be due until March 31st.

Thank you all for you rsupport. We are very excited about this coming farming season!
