The Sunflower Market &
Gathering Space
We are excited to offer Clarkston and surrounding communities a hub for locally grown natural and organic produce, artisan goods and more (yes, we are like a year-round mini farmer’s market)! Our market is our welcome center, an extension of our non-profit educational farm and helps to support our ongoing programming, provide a community meeting and gathering space, create opportunities to teach children about where their food comes from and connect Clarkston with locally grown produce and our amazing artisans! When you shop at our Sunflower Market, it is a win-win, because not only are you supporting local farmers and artisans, but all proceeds go right back into supporting outdoor education for kids! This unique farm/educational market space is yours to enjoy- come by and see what we have to offer!
The Farm & Sunflower Market are now Open for Winter Seasonal Hours and sign-up is now available for our Winter CSA!
Winter Season hours: Wednesdays, from 10 am – 6 pm for all of February & March.
Winter CSA will begin on Wednesday, March 4th for 8 weeks….see details & sign up below!

Exciting News.... We are offering a new, fresh approach Winter CSA program!
What is a CSA program? Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs are designed to offer a partnership with your local farm. This innovative system allows members of the community to support sustainable agriculture by committing to, not only local farming, but in our case, a non-profit farm for kids as well! Here at the Clarkston Family Farm, our mission is to get kids outside and educate them about the value of nature, healthy food, and sustainable farming.
Many of you have been CSA members over the past several years, and we have so very much appreciated this partnership with you! Your weekly support has helped our team offset the many challenges involved in growing/offering organic produce and products for sale, and we have all been able to reap the benefits of a delicious and bountiful harvest all season long! As you know, our CSA program was on hiatus last fall. We spent some time pondering the best way to help you, our amazing customers; our wonderful farmers/bakers/artisans; and our farm; by thoughtfully assessing how the market can best support the farm’s mission: to educate and inspire the next generation about healthy food, the value of nature, and sustainability–all within the context of a positive community gathering space.
It was tough, because while we love having fresh produce and baked goods for sale in our market, our non-profit business model, which is focused on outdoor education for kids, wasn’t quite matching up with the “open market” concept for sale of perishable produce /goods. We are pleased to announce, that after putting on our thinking caps, we have come up with a way to still provide you with the best in local, organic produce and baked goods… but in a way that also benefits our non-profit farm, and our local farmers and community partners. It will look a bit different from how we have done things in the past… and we hope you’ll be as excited about the new offerings as we are! Please read through the Winter CSA information provided below to learn more.
Our Winter CSA is an 8-week partnership running March 4th – April 22nd (April 29th make-up date).
Pickup will be at the farm Wednesdays, 11 AM – 6 PM.
Cost $350 (approximate weekly value of $40 or more)
Winter 2026 CSA. What to Expect
Our Winter CSA uses a farmer’s choice model with pre-selected items sourced from trusted local farmers, bakers, and retailers. Each week includes ingredients for one featured meal, a recipe and cooking lesson (in person or via video), alternate recipes using basket contents, weekly staples like bread, milk, and eggs, and a few fun seasonal surprises to round out your share. We’re still fine-tuning details around swaps and dietary needs, but our goal is always to offer the best possible options.
Sample Weekly Meals:
Sunflower Market Add-Ons
When picking up your CSA, you’re welcome to shop for additional items at the Sunflower Market, including farm fresh eggs, local honey and maple syrup, bread and baked goods (including gluten-free options), Cooks Dairy Farm products, roasted nuts, chips and salsa, beef tallow products, seasonal flowers, and a variety of artisan goods such as candles and books. And of course, there is always our CFF merchandise (t-shirts/mugs/etc.).

Gift a Share with our Blessing Baskets Program
If you would like to help out local folks in our community with food insecurities, scroll down to learn about our Blessing Baskets program, a part of Winter CSA.
Our CSA Mission: To provide an abundant and diverse offering of high-quality local farm goods to our community at a fair price, while offering support through a weekly email communication that includes tips on preparing, storing, cooking, and getting the most out of your CSA share.
We began a new giving program last winter called “Blessing Baskets”. It grew out of a wish to do a little more for people than just our one-time gift of a “Giving Basket” during the holidays that we have done in the past. The idea was to make a more substantial impact on their needs, by providing them with fresh food and cooking lessons on a weekly basis over the winter months.
With your help, in 2025 we were able to provide 20 local families in need with weekly fresh food for 12 weeks through the gifting of a CSA Share. If you sponsored a family(s) last year, THANK YOU! We and the participants are so very grateful. It was an amazing program and so of course, we want to do it again!
Our Winter CSA has changed a bit for 2026 (will be 8 weeks this year and formatted a bit differently / see details above for more information specifically about our Winter CSA program), but the general concept for the Blessing Baskets will remain the same… providing fresh food, recipes & cooking instruction weekly over the winter months of 2026 through sponsorship of CSA shares.
This year, we are hoping to provide 25 sponsorships. If you are inspired to help out this winter, click the link below to Learn More / Sponsor for 2026. Thank you, for all of the ways that you help us to be better together!
