Welcome to Provident Organic Farm CSA

Provident Organic Farm is a Community Supported Agriculture farm or CSA.  In our CSA, members pay before the season begins so that the farmer may use it for expenses related to growing the produce for the CSA.  In exchange, as the harvest comes in, the farmer supplies each household with a weekly supply of fresh, organically grown produce.  The farmer uses all of his knowledge and skill to grow healthy, delicious vegetables, using sustainable agriculture practices, and members enjoy

the bounty.

Provident Organic Farm is located in the small community of Bivalve on the Nanticoke River near Salisbury, Maryland.  Started in 2001 with a small group of dedicated shareholders, it has grown to serve over 180 families.  Farmer Jay Martin, an organic grower with over 20 years of organic farming experience, oversees Provident Organic Farm.  We offer shares from May - November.  

In 2008, with generous assistance from the Town Creek Foundation and LESSON (Lower Eastern Shore Sustainable/Organic Network), Provident will work to develop a network of farms to broaden the range of locally grown products for the members including but not limited to beef, pork, fish, milk, eggs and cheese.  Our goal is to build community around the most essential and unifying force in our lives:  FOOD.
