Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CSA Program?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. By becoming a member, you are truly investing in our certified organic, regenerative farm and your local food system. In return, you will receive top choice produce from each harvest. Being a member of our CSA program helps you eat seasonally and locally, and cultivates a connection between you and the farmers growing your food. By subscribing to our CSA program, you understand that from time to time, there are naturally occurring variables in the growing season.
What makes our CSA Boxes unique?
Sourcing directly from our USDA certified organic, permaculture-inspired farm and neighboring certified organic farms, including our sister farm Plymouth Orchards & Cider Mill, we provide our members with a local, seasonal, and convenient food experience. Showcasing a diversified array of annual vegetables, microgreens, orchard products, herbs, perennial foods, and pantry items, we carefully curate and thoughtfully plan boxes of the freshest and best food for our CSA members.
What size are the CSA Boxes?
The Large Box is suitable for 4-6 people, and is comparable in size to previous seasons' boxes. Our new offering, the Small Box, is suitable for 1-3 people, and will be about half the size of previous seasons' boxes.
What is included in our Spring, Summer and Autumn CSA subscription?
Our Weekly CSA Food Box subscription is intended for everybody, including families, and local food enthusiasts! Everything offered in your certified organic weekly subscription was grown on our farm, at our sister farm Plymouth Orchard, and neighboring certified organic farms that also follow regenerative practices. The varieties of produce may fluctuate with the weather and season.
Our Large box is great for a family of 4-6 and our Small box is great for 1-3 people depending on how many veggies you eat in a week. You will receive an email every week with a summary of that week's box contents. If you desire other produce or local pantry items in addition to your weekly share, feel free to pre-order additional items from our online store, or shop in person at our onsite Farm Stand.

How will Early and Late Winter be different from the other CSA sessions?
While our other CSA sessions consist solely of certified organic, locally grown produce, the Winter CSA shares expand to include local pantry items from high-quality, trusted vendors that follow organic practices.. This offers members the opportunity to stock their pantries for the winter, while still staying connected to their local food suppliers. Your pick-up day during the Late and Early Winter sessions will be on Fridays.
What will be included in my Winter CSA?
Each week this CSA food box will contain certified organic produce, to include a mix of hoophouse greens, microgreens, herbs, root crops and storage crops. Other products in rotation will be bread, eggs, jams, beans, grains, apple sauce, pasta, and more! You will receive an email every week with a summary of that week's box contents. If you desire other produce or local pantry items in addition to your weekly share, please feel free to pre-order additional items from our online store, or shop in person at our onsite farm stand.
Are the Winter CSAs vegan?
Late and Early Winter CSAs will often include eggs, as well as a few other dairy-containing products. However, if you reach out to us at info@gatewayfarmplymouth.com and leave a note with the purchase of your share, we will substitute in alternative products (beans for eggs, etc.) to ensure your share is vegan.
When do I retrieve my weekly CSA box?
When initially registering for your CSA share before your membership begins, you will be given a choice to pick up your food box on either Tuesdays or Fridays. This nominated pick up day will be the day your box is packed (and ideally picked up) throughout the CSA season.
Where do I retrieve my weekly CSA box?
Our Farm Stand is at 10665 Joy Rd. Plymouth, MI. The quaint yellow building at the corner of the farm property is our distribution hub for CSA boxes, seasonal subscriptions, and online orders. It also serves as our direct to consumer Farm Stand, and is open all year round.
How do I retrieve my weekly CSA box?
Each CSA food box will be packed and labeled with the CSA member's last name. It will be stored in the walk-in cooler in our onsite Farm Stand. To ensure each member receives the freshest produce, we suggest retrieving your CSA box on the day it was packed - either Tuesday or Friday. If you are unable to retrieve your CSA box on your pick up day, no worries! For your convenience, your CSA food box will be available up to 6 days after the pick up date during Farm Stand business hours.
What if I am unable to pick up my CSA box?
If for any reason throughout the season you are not able to pick up your CSA food box:
1) Ask a family member, neighbor, or friend to pick up your box for you.
