The Harvest Hub
A Fresh Take On Community Supported Agriculture CSA
Welcome to Our Weekly, Hyper-Local Virtual Farmers Market

At Hansel Hill Farm, our CSA isn't your traditional, pay-up-front-for-surprise-veggies kind of deal. We've reimagined the model, keeping the heart of community-supported agriculture while making it more flexible, more inclusive, and more convenient for modern life.
We call it The Harvest Hub, but really, it’s your community market.
What Is A CSA, Anyway?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture—a collaborative effort between farmers and producers to provide local, fresh food to the community. Traditionally, members pay upfront for a season’s worth of boxes from a single farm.
Not here.
We’ve made it better.
How The Harvest Hub works:
Instead of committing to a full season, you decide week by week what you want to buy. It’s like Instacart for local food with a conscience.
FREE to join. No upfront fees. No subscriptions.
Buy what you want, when you want. Each week, our Harvest Hub organizer posts a curated list of items available for pickup.
Order from multiple local producers in one go. From eggs to elderberry syrup, soaps to sourdough, everything is sourced nearby.
Choose your pickup location:
📍Millersville – Fridays from 2–8 PM or Saturdays from 7–11 AM
📍Crofton – Fridays from 2–8 PM
📍Takoma Park – (coming soon, currently limited options)
Why The Harvest Hub Is Different
We offer a customized, curated CSA process that allows you to purchase only the products you want. This extra step in customizing your own box gives you greater flexibility and control over the products you want to pick up week over week.
Most CSAs:
Require seasonal buy-ins in January
Offer fixed weekly boxes you can't customize
Only work with one farm
The Harvest Hub:
Lets you opt in weekly (no pressure, no waste)
Supports multiple small producers, not just one
Offers a variety of pick-up sites
Brings the farmers market to your fingertips
You can still call it a CSA—for now—but it’s truly something new. The Harvest Hub is a grassroots collaboration that started in Crofton during COVID, and continues to evolve, grow, and connect neighbors with the freshest local food.

No crowded booths
Order from your couch, pick up everything at once
