CSA Share Options

At Chatfield Farms we grow more than 100 varieties of vegetables and herbs and partner with local producers to offer additional shares such as eggs and fruit. The amount of produce builds from greens, roots and herbs in spring to a considerable haul in summer and early fall.

The 2024 CSA season will include 21 weeks of vegetables and herbs grown at Chatfield Farms available for pickup on Thursdays from June 6 through October 24, at either Chatfield Farms or the York Street location. 

2024 CSA shares went on sale to returning shareholders in January 2024. All remaining shares were released to our waitlist in February 2024. Our waitlist is full for 2024 – please check back next year.

Keep in mind that these volunteer positions can be physically demanding.

• We anticipate shares selling out each season.
• You must be onboarded as a Denver Botanic Gardens volunteer to receive the volunteer shareholder discount.

You must purchase a vegetable share to access other share types.

We partner with local producers to support the Colorado agricultural economy and provide you with more options for good, local food and artisan products. Shareholders are required to purchase a vegetable and herb share in order to sign up for additional shares. Each share is a 20-week commitment, with advance payment required.

CSA Benefits for All Shareholders
