The variety continues throughout the fall with over 50 different varieties of apples, fresh pressed apple cider, pumpkins, winter squash, potatoes, and more.

can I upgrade to a larger sized freshly inspired box?

Yes, if you want more than your current box, you can switch up to a larger box. We make it easy by prorating the cost. You may also call ahead to add items to your weekly share for convenient one-stop shopping.

can I downgrade my freshly inspired box size or cancel for a refund?

No. The cornerstone to any CSA is the idea of a seasonal commitment—both from the farm to you and from you to the farm. If you’re unsure what size box to get, start small as you can always upgrade.
