We are lucky to be farming in South Carolina with it's long growing seasons. Even with good weather for most of the year, production slows down significantly in winter. Freezes can wipe out tender crops and growth pauses during shorter winter days. We will restart our CSA as soon as possible. Please join our email list for updates, and visit us at the Owen's Field Markets on Thursday 4-6pm for winter vegetables.
The farm was pretty during a rare winter snow, but our infrastructure just isn't built for it. Frozen water pipes, and collapsed tunnels have set us back. We are looking forward to warmer days later this week.

Thank you for your support during abundant harvests and more challenging seasons. We couldn't do this without you!
What is a CSA? CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Invest in your local farm by paying for a month-long, weekly subscription of local veggies in advance. Then, share in the harvest when you pick up your share of fresh produce each week.
Paying at the start of the month allows small farms to purchase needed supplies, like seeds, at the right time, to keep the farm running all season long. And of course, supporting local farms means your dollars stay local and strengthen your local economy.
Joining a CSA is a commitment to the farm and the shared experience of the agricultural season, embracing both its potential rewards and inherent risks.
Super Fresh: Most veggies are harvested within 24 hours of picking up your CSA share. Get the best Greenleaf Farms has to offer each week. Our CSA Members get priority with first harvest of our seasonal and specialty crops.
Feel Good About What You Eat: Greenleaf Farms does not use chemical fertilizers, synthetic pesticides or fungicides of any kind, ever.
Delicious Veggies: Whole shares have a selection of 8 seasonal items, and half shares have a selection of 4 seasonal items.
