Welcome to the Upland Hills CSA
We had a great 2014 season and are looking forward to 2015!
Daiga Nixon, who runs our kids' gardening program, created a newsletter in July that describes the activities that she has been doing with the children. Things like making stepping stones and sailboats, visiting the farm animals, blowing bubbles and visiting the playground. Please click here to view the picture-filled newsletter!

2014 was the sixth year of operation for Upland Hills CSA and we offered a huge variety of vegetables and herbs. The Upland Hills CSA Management Team worked hard to gain our organic certification and the CSA was certified Organic in previous years by the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA). Starting March 2013, however, we did not renew the certification due to cost considerations. We remain committed to ecologically responsible and sustainable farming practices.
The Upland Hills CSA is located four miles east and two miles south of Oxford. We feel blessed to be nestled in the Upland Hills Learning Community. The Learning Community includes the Upland Hills Farm (www.uplandhillsfarm.com), the Upland Hills School (www.uplandhills.org) and the CSA.
For 2014, we had a 16 week season with 4 - 6 items for the first four to five weeks. They were mostly greens and other early season crops. For weeks five through twelve the number of different items ranged from 7 - 15 per week. These items were warm season crops. For the last 4 weeks we had 6 - 10 (or more!) different items each week.
We grow a diverse selection of produce for our members. You can expect to have a wide variety of in-season produce to enjoy and experiment with.
