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 CSA program is on hiatus at Clarkston Family Farm until the 2026 growing season!
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 a non-profit farm for kids! 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 risks that are involved in growing/offering organic produce, and we have all been able to reap the benefits of a delicious and bountiful harvest all season long! Please know that our CSA program is still very important to us, and we plan to offer a CSA program again in the 2026 growing season. We are currently in the process of restructuring our CSA program; evaluating what was great about it, and in what ways we can do better. We are also trying to determine how we can make the program equally beneficial to you, our amazing customers, our wonderful farmers, and our farm, by taking time to thoughtfully assess 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.
While the CSA rests this season, the farm and market will remain vibrant. You can look forward to new workshops, ongoing programs, volunteer opportunities, and special events. We’ll keep you updated throughout this time of transition, and as spring arrives, we anticipate a joyful rebirth for the market space and our CSA. So please hang in there with us throughout this restructuring, and revisit our new and improved 2026 CSA program!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership–we are deeply grateful. We hope to see you soon!

*New Giving Program*
We began a new program this past winter called “Blessings 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 both an opportunity to shop for fresh food on a weekly basis, as well as cooking lessons during the winter season.
With your help, we were able to provide 20 local families in need with $30 worth of fresh food, and a dozen eggs weekly for 12 weeks through the gifting of a CSA Share. This allowed them to come into our market each week to shop from our fresh produce, baked goods, honey, milk, eggs, and more items of their choosing.
Additionally, we hosted “Chelsea’s Cooking Corner”, a weekly 2 hour cooking / information session on fb live, with the help of various friends of the farm, in our Sunflower Market (available on our youtube channel).
It has been an amazing program and we, along with our participants have been so very thankful! If you sponsored a family… THANK YOU for joining us on this new journey!!
We will revisit our Blessings Baskets program this fall, and hopefully be able to run it again next winter. So if you are inspired to help out, check back in the fall for sponsorship opportunities for 2026. Thank you, for all of the ways that you help us to be better together!
