Earth-Shares CSA is a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) organization in Loveland, Ohio, on land leased from Grailville. The majority of their 300 acres is Certified Organic by the USDA and the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA). CSA is a direct partnership between farmers who grow the food and the people who eat it. We are a not-for-profit organization that contracts with skilled gardeners to grow many types of organic vegetables. Our irrigation systems and plumbing is beautifully maintained by Dr. Pipes Our goal is to provide members with fresh, organic vegetables that are locally grown by our farmers.
Our members pay a set fee to receive a "share" of the harvest raised on the CSA acreage that year. Some members enjoy assisting the gardeners and receive a discount for scheduled work shifts, known as a Working Share.

Thank you to all of our members that donated their weekly share to this great cause. Read more here on the LIFE Food Pantry event. What to do if you can't pick up your produce on your designated day.At some point during the season, this happens to most of us. We ask that if you can't pick up your produce on your allotted day to please pick it up within two days afterwards -- Never before, as your share will not have been harvested yet. When this happens, please remember that once we have had our membership pick up, all the remaining produce is left in the cooler and will be open for sale. This means that the longer your share has not been picked up, the more likely it is that we will be running out of specific vegetables that were originally designated for your share. It is always best to have a friend or neighbor pick up your share on your assigned day to ensure that you receive all that was meant for you. Our produce is so fresh and good that you won't want to miss any of it!
