Happy CSA Week 2026
This week we’re honoring our farm staff, the farms we partner with, and the generations of knowledge passed down through their families. At Tomato Mountain, we’ve built our model to support these farmers while also reimagining what a CSA can look like. We believe flexibility is essential to making local food accessible and sustainable for more households.
