If you know you consume a LOT of vegetables or you like to store things away for the winter, then choose the large share. The large share contains about 2 -3 extra items than what a small share gets. The small share contains 4-6 items and is great for 1 or 2 people. We offer a limited number of 4-week "Trial Share" memberships, where you can try out the experience with 4 weeks in a row of farm share bags.

The 2026 season starts June 4-5 and ends October 29-39, with a two-week break in late July. You pick up your share at the same time and place every week. We have a few pickup locations to choose from:

Northside, OH
Thursdays 4:00-6:00 pm
@ Climb Cincy (1708 Blue Rock St, Cincinnati, OH 45223)

Newport, KY
Thursdays, 4:00-6:00 pm
@ New Riff Distilling (24 Distillery Way, Newport, KY 41073)

Oakley, OH
Fridays, 4:30-6:30 pm
@ MadTree Brewing (3301 Madison Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45209)

Check out this map with all our pickup locations.

Our CSA is "market style", meaning you'll be able to make choices between items each week. We do our best to make sure the choices outlined in this section are accurate, but the availability will depend on when you come pick up your share and other factors. Thank you for understanding!

While we're not USDA Certified, we meet all the criteria and go way above and beyond organic requirements in terms of our soil health practices. We don't use any herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers. Happy to share more or answer any questions you have!

You can now schedule two skip weeks where your subscription will be paused!

We all forget sometimes! 30 min before the end of the pickup window we send out text reminders to anyone who hasn't picked up their bag yet. We're sometimes able to leave a packed bag behind at the pickup site for you if you're on your way, running late, but we won't be there by the time you arrive. Otherwise, all unclaimed shares are donated to the Third Way Peace fellowship Free Fridge and CAIN food pantry in Northside.

Let's say you forgot to fill out our skip week form in time and you're not going to make it to tomorrow's CSA pickup – a popular solution many of our members use is to have a friend pick up the bag for the week. All they have to do is give us your name.

You can either pay in full or make multiple payments. You can use Venmo, PayPal, CashApp, check, or cash. Once you sign up and make a first installment payment (suggested $70 for small and $100 for large) your CSA membership is confirmed.

After that, we'll send out automated emails with your payment balance once a month until you've reached your planned total CSA payment (which you enter on your sign up form). Trial shares: pay in full to hold your spot.

On Thursday mornings we email you a newsletter with the contents of your share for that week. This list is usually about 90% accurate, but sometimes there are last minute changes due to how harvest went. This list will include best practices for each vegetable's storage, common uses, and whether you can freeze it.

Eating seasonally can feel different if you're used to starting with a recipe and getting any ingredient from the store. We'll share techniques to get you used to starting with the produce available and then using or tweaking recipes accordingly. It can actually be freeing to cook this way – if you ever get overwhelmed by what to make for dinner it can help to have a few limits, following the parameters of what the land provides.

Yes! We'd love the chance to connect with you and show you how and where your food is grown! We have weekly volunteer days (usually a weekday morning). And some occasional weekend opportunities. Volunteering is not required as part of your CSA membership, but it definitely adds a lot to the experience. Email us at info@bigtablefarmcooperative.com.

Some weeks, you may find that there are some veggies that you just never got to, or that you don't like. And they end up getting tossed into the compost pile. This can seem like a waste of food, and you may feel guilty about it. We want to encourage you to expect the fact that no matter how great you are at eating veggies, you will almost certainly compost some veggies from your CSA bags this summer. It's unavoidable. That being said, if you find that it's happening a lot, we encourage you to find friends or neighbors to share with. We  share lots of strategies to help keep this from happening too much. As a last resort, we invite you to leave some of your unpopular varieties in the trade box at pick-up for someone else. It will take some diligence on your part to eat your share. But it gets easier over time!
