Bright Spot Farm
CSA Program

What is Community Supported Agriculture?
A CSA is a farm membership in which members share in the bounty (and risk) of the farm. When we have a great season, you have a great season!
Members support the farm by paying for their share upfront at the beginning of the season. In return, each week they get to make their share from a selection of seasonal vegetables harvested by the farmers!
Each week's share contains a variety of seasonal veggies grown on the farm and includes a recipe sheet!
Why become a member of Bright Spot's CSA?
Bright Spot Farms is a program of the West End Neighborhood House. We provide work-study agricultural training to young adults ages 14-18, at our 3-acre farm on the State of Delaware Herman Holloway Campus in New Castle, DE.
We believe in the power of farming to transform people through building confidence and fostering leadership. Our objective is to heal and empower the young people in our program by rooting our farming in an ethic of community service.
Your support as a member of our CSA will allow us to put more time and resources into our youth leadership programs.
And you will always be welcome to come visit the farm and see where and how your food is grown!
How does it work?
Every week farm members pick up a pre-packed box of seasonal vegetables at their pick-up location. We currently offer pick-up at the following locations:
Herman Holloway Campus (Bright Spot Farm): Wednesdays 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
We are also offering HOME DELIVERY again for 2025 for those who need it. Home deliveries will be on Wednesday mornings and are available for New Castle County, DE only. $20 one-time delivery fee for the season (22 deliveries).
In addition, farm members receive a weekly e-mail letting them know what will be in their share, updates from the farm, and a suggested recipe that uses vegetables from their share!
