Best CSA Farms Near Ann Arbor in 2026
June 15, 2026
If you’ve been thinking about joining a CSA this season, the Ann Arbor area has some of the strongest options in Michigan. Here’s a breakdown of the best farms offering CSA shares in and around Washtenaw County in 2026 — and how to lock in your spot before they sell out.
What is a CSA?
A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share means you pay a farm at the start of the season and receive a weekly box of whatever is harvested that week. You share in the farm’s bounty — and its risk. In return, you get the freshest possible produce, a direct connection to the people growing your food, and often a better price than you’d pay at a grocery store.
Top CSA Farms Near Ann Arbor
Tantre Farm — Chelsea, MI
Tantre Farm is one of the most established CSA programs in Washtenaw County. They’ve been growing ecologically since 1993 on 115 acres and offer an 18-week summer share running June through September. The farm grows 80–100 varieties of vegetables, fruit, mushrooms, herbs, and flowers. Share price runs around $650, with pickup locations in both Chelsea and Ann Arbor.
Best for: Households that want serious variety and a well-organized, long-running program.
Community Farm of Ann Arbor — Chelsea, MI
Community Farm of Ann Arbor is Michigan’s very first CSA, founded in 1988. This isn’t just a box subscription — it’s a farm community. Members use a sliding scale for dues, get free admission to workshops (beekeeping, food preservation, soil health), and participate in on-farm pickup days. The farm practices biodynamic agriculture and raises cows, goats, sheep, and bees alongside heirloom vegetables and fruit trees.
Best for: Families who want to be involved in the farm, not just receive a box.
Blue Spring Farm — Ann Arbor, MI
Blue Spring Farm offers a certified organic CSA with pickup in Ann Arbor. A smaller, intimate farm operation that’s been a consistent presence at local markets.
Best for: Buyers who prioritize certified organic and want a local Ann Arbor pickup.
When to Sign Up
Most CSAs in this area open sign-ups in January through March and fill up well before the June season starts. If you’re reading this in spring, check each farm’s website immediately — spots may already be limited.
Not Ready to Commit?
If you’re not ready to pay upfront for a full season, Argus Farm Stop offers a weekly produce box sourced from over 200 local farms with no season-long commitment. It’s a great way to try local farm produce before you join a CSA.
