CSA at the Market
You might have heard…
We’re starting a CSA program at the Market on Holly!
What is a CSA? Excellent question…to begin with, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. This program is based on a relationship of mutual support and commitment between local farmers and our local community members. We pay the farmer a membership fee to cover the production costs of the farm and in return, we receive a weekly share of the harvest during the growing season. The arrangement guarantees the farmer financial support and enables many small- to moderate-scale organic family farms to remain in business.
We have teamed up with Silver Lake Farms to bring this great program to Pasadena and because of their involvement we have been able to become Pasadena’s first and only CSA program. All produce is freshly harvested from local sustainable farms in Los Angeles and neighboring counties. We love food here at the Market on Holly and can’t wait to be a part of this program and help support those who bring us the fresh food we love so much!
Please email us at csa@themarketonholly.com for more information or to sign up for the CSA, and please hurry because slots are filling up fast! The start date for the next CSA is Friday, May 11th, please add your name to the list for sign up no later than Sunday, May 6th.

Hi Market on Holly!
Can you fill me in on the pricing for the CSA program? It sounds like something I would like to join.
Thank you!

Hi Kelly! It basically breaks down to about $33 per week, so the cycle is 12 weeks and you can either get deliveries once a week or every other week. $400 for 12 pick ups and $200 for 6. Let us know by Wednesday if you want to sign up!

I just found out about this today! Ugh! Am I too late? Do I need to wait 6 weeks or 12 for the next round?
