What's in a share?

 With all the ultra-processed foods trucked all around the world it is vital to know the origins of what you eat — including how it's grown, raised, processed, and transported. This knowledge helps ensure food is fresh, safe, and available. It supports local farmers, promotes transparency, and empowers healthier, more informed choices. 

Time is of the essence when it comes to vegetable nutrition. Right after harvest, vegetables are at peak freshness and nutritional value. Once picked, they gradually start losing moisture and nutrients.   At Egger Farms, we harvest and deliver on the same day or within 24 hours.   Our CSA members remain  flexible with our schedule to ensure that freshness. 

In a world where convenience often trumps connection, coming to the farm offers a refreshing return to our roots—literally. More than just a way to get fresh produce, it’s a chance to engage with the land, support local farmers, and savor the seasons in a way that grocery store aisles simply can't replicate.

Our CSA program is more than just a weekly box of vegetables—it's a direct investment in your health, your community, and your local food economy. And while the fresh produce is the foundation, it’s the value-added products like pickled okra, homemade canned salsa, and fresh dill pickles that truly make your CSA box unforgettable. These aren’t just tasty extras—they’re powerful tools for sustainability, flavor, and connection.

Imagine walking through rows of sun-warmed vegetables, pulling ripe fruit straight from the vine, knowing that your hands helped grow it. Now imagine that instead of just buying that produce, you earned it—through honest work, shared effort, and a connection to the land. That’s the power of Egger Farms' "U-Pick" work equity program, and it’s transforming the way we think about food, farming, and community.

In a world increasingly shaped by uncertainty—economic instability, natural disasters, and fragile supply chains—one truth is becoming impossible to ignore: we need to reclaim our ability to provide for ourselves. Farming and homesteading skills aren’t just quaint hobbies or rural traditions. They are powerful tools for resilience, independence, and transformation.
