Highlights
Description: Orchard Gardens Neighborhood Farm and Community Garden was created in 2005 in partnership with Homeword at an affordable housing development in the Orchard Homes neighborhood – a neighborhood rich in agricultural history. The farm offers community garden plots, orchard with native bee boxes, seed saving garden, medicinal herb and flower gardens, educational tours for kids including produce samples, a farm stand for residents where EBT cards are accepted. The farm also supplies the Missoula Food Bank with 5,000 pounds of produce annually and is home to the greenhouse that grows starts for many of our farms.

Large & small shares: $300 to $575 (sliding scale, based on household income)
For 18 weeks you will receive a share of locally grown vegetables (a large share is more than 350 pounds, and an average cost of $1.50 per pound). Our CSA is different because we think outside the box: meaning you come to the farm each week and pack your box full of high quality, lovingly grown produce. We love getting to know you, cultivating a community, and getting as many people out on the farm as possible. We think you'll like coming out to the farm each week for a moment of zen, too.
