2026 Spring CSA Collection: Spring’s Awakening

Welcome to our founding CSA Collection.

This Spring our first collection features an 8-week mini-season (⅓ of our normal season) that celebrates the garden awakening from its winter rest, raring up for a year of abundant freshness.

“We are focused on healing our bodies, communities, and land through fresh food, and our founding shareholders will be at the forefront of this mission.”

We’re inviting 6 individual and 6 family shareholders to root deeply with us as founders and experience fresh, local, seasonal eating right here in Birmingham ✨🌱.

Stay tuned for our 2026 Summer CSA Collection! This 24-week collection will be filled with your classic summer produce from varieties you may have never tasted as well as heritage crops grown across the African diaspora.

Spring’s Awakening: The 3 Movements

Weeks 1-3 (March 22nd, 29th, April 5th)

Salad Days

Welcome to Spring's first harvests! These early weeks celebrate cool-season quick growers that thrive in March Alabama weather. While you won't see tomatoes or peppers yet (they'd freeze!), what you're getting is hard-pressed to find anywhere else: lettuce harvested that morning, radishes so fresh they're still crunchy-sweet, and spinach that's never seen the inside of a plastic clamshell. This is seasonal eating—and in just a few weeks, when cooking greens and peas arrive, you'll have been on the journey from Winter to Spring with us.

Peak Season Picks:

  • Bloomsdale Spinach

  • Lettuce varieties (Buttercrunch, Black-seeded Simpson)

Seasonal Features:

  • French Breakfast & White Icicle Radishes

  • Rocket Arugula

Weeks 4-5 (April 12th, 19th) 

The Green Rush

This is the week Spring truly arrives! As days lengthen and soil warms, hearty cooking greens, sweet snap peas, and the first fresh herbs join your tender lettuces. Red Russian kale with its beautiful purple veins, crisp Shanghai bok choy perfect for stir-fries, and sugar snap peas so sweet you'll eat them straight from the bag. This is when your share expands in both size and variety. The momentum is building toward peak Spring.

Peak Season Picks:

  • Red Russian Kale & Dwarf Siberian Kale

  • Shanghai Bok Choy

  • Oregon Sugar Pod II Peas (snap peas)

  • Lincoln Peas (shelling peas)

  • Fresh Cilantro

Peak Spring Abundance

These final three weeks showcase Spring at its absolute peak. Every box now includes cooking greens, sweet root carrots and kohlrabi, cabbage — a trusted storage vegetable, fresh herbs rotating through dill and cilantro, and the last of the peas. This is maximum variety, maximum abundance, and the culmination of everything we've been building toward. You'll receive 11 different items (17 varieties!) across these three weeks—a full expression of Alabama Spring.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For mini-seasons, you purchase the entire season in one upfront payment. For full seasons, we will offer the opportunity to pay in installments. Your final payment will always be due prior to the delivery of your first box. 


  • Arrange for someone else to get your share, or we can donate it to a community member in need on your behalf.


  • CSA works best for adventurous eaters. Members can coordinate swaps (you will have access to “Rooted Community”) and every newsletter includes recipes. The variety changes weekly, so if you don't love one item, future weeks bring something different. You cannot change what is in your box at this time.

  • Your food will be harvested the morning it is delivered. Grocery store produce travels thousands of miles and sits in distribution for days or weeks. Plus, we grow for flavor,not shipping durability.


  • You're subscribing to the season, sharing the genuine experience of farming. 

    Some weeks are abundant, some challenging. That said, We maintain backup relationships and will ensure you receive fair value.


  • We use organic practices,

    (no synthetic pesticides/herbicides/fertilizers), though we are not certified organic. As a small grower, you can ask us directly about any practice. Importantly, as a shareholder, you may schedule one free garden every season you subscribe. 


  • Quality over quantity. With limited space and first-season operations, We want to focus on growing exceptional food and building real relationships with every member.


  • We will be moving right into our Warm (May-November) and Cool (December-April) Season CSAs and hope you'll join again! We will start advertising for full seasons (24-weeks) in January (Warm Season) and April (Cool Season). Current shareholders will get priority notification as well as 15% off of the next season they subscribe to (25% off when subscribed to Warm and Cool for 2026 -2027).
