Eighth Day Farm - Summer CSA

The USDA directory still lists this place, but hasn't updated its record since 2024 — hours, phone and website may be out of date.

Eighth Day Farm is a community-centered, urban vegetable farm. We exist to connect people to the land and to one another through the practice of regenerative agriculture. We educate, empower, and feed our community by growing food, hosting farm tours, and collaborating and assisting with community initiatives focused on food-security and sovereignty.
