If you are in search of local, natural and sustainable foods, there are a variety of CSA’s, co-ops and grocers making it happen every day of the week in the Rocket City.

CSA's

What is a CSA (Community-supported agriculture)?

Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of “shares” to the public which consists of a box of seasonal produce. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a “membership”) and in return receive their box of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.

Doe Run Farm is located in a picturesque valley surrounded by gently rolling hills of southern middle Tennessee. The location (only 39 miles from Huntsville!) allows folks to receive weekly deliveries from their CSA and choose a convenient pickup location or home delivery service. Sign up for a weekly farm box delivery for 18 weeks. Join for an adventure in healthy, delicious eating. Everything is 100% Locally grown on small farms, by honest to goodness real farmers.

Operates: May-November
Deliveries: 24 weekly deliveries
Includes: colorful and delicious assortment of vegetables, berries, produce and seasonal fruit

Options:

  • Small Farm Box
  • Medium Farm Box
  • Large Farm Box
