The Farmadillo Vegetable Club

Community Supported Agriculture in the city!

Community Supported Agriculture (or CSA) is an alternative way for farmers to sell produce locally. CSA members pre-purchase a share of the harvest and receive weekly orders of fruits and vegetables throughout the season.

By purchasing a CSA share (or half share), you are casting your vote in favor of local, sustainably produced food that nourishes your body and the cultural life of our community. You also can be sure you’re getting the best of what is in season (and at the best price) before it’s available to the public at our farmers market days.

All produce is grown naturally and pesticide-free on our urban farm in Mahncke Park, just north of downtown San Antonio. CSA members can expect a wide variety of produce as the season progresses. Produce this fresh isn’t available at grocery stores! We also strive to offer heirlooms and other high quality varieties that aren’t available within the conventional food system.

Our “Your Choice” option allows you to choose your own vegetables at your weekly pick up from what we have in season, rather than the standard “Farmer’s Choice”. “Your Choice” members will receive weekly updates on what’s in season. All options include as wide a variety of seasonal produce as possible. For example, a summer pickup would include things like okra, tomatoes, sweet corn, melons and cut flowers, while a winter pickup might include items such as cabbage, lettuce, spinach, leeks and kale.

Our Autumn/Winter season runs from September 12th 2024 through January 23rd 2025. If you are purchasing a share after the start of the season the price is prorated based on the number of weeks remaining. We offer terms as short as 8 weeks as well.

Pickup times are from 3-7 pm on Thursday evenings, switching to a winter schedule of 2-6 PM after November 3rd. Delivery is available for an extra fee to central San Antonio addresses. We are located in the Mahncke Park neighborhood, two miles north of downtown San Antonio.
