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!

2025 Winter CSA is Here!
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. Your weekly support helps our team offset the many risks that are involved in organic farming and you are able to reap the benefits of a delicious and bountiful harvest all season long! By choosing to partner with the Clarkston Family Farm (CFF) your investment in us also supports nature-based educational experiences for kids of all ages and abilities, regardless of access to resources. Also, a portion of our CSA program goes right back into feeding families with food insecurity. Thank you for your collaboration. You know WE DIG IT!
This 12-week partnership runs from January 15th – April 9th. Pickup will be at the farm Wednesdays, 11 AM – 6 PM.
*Please note that there will be no pick-up Spring Break week, March 26
Winter Market Style Flex Share: $300
Winter Egg Share: $75
Shop our selection of Winter CSA products knowing that everything is locally and sustainably raised / grown / created. We are proud to offer high quality vegetables, fruits, eggs, meats, and artisan products to our community at a fair price while supporting our local family farms and artisans. When you shop at the Sunflower Market, you can have peace-of-mind knowing you are nourishing your family with the best local food available while also supporting your community!
This 12-week partnership will run from January 15-April 2, 2025. Pickup will be at the farm Wednesdays, 11 AM-6 PM. Shares are $300.00 for the Winter Season. This membership gives you $30 each week (for your $25.00 investment/week) “market style” on all your farm favorites. Choose from late Fall-season crops, fresh farm eggs, homemade bread, sustainably sourced meat, Cook’s farm milk, and delicious baked goods. You are also welcome to round out your share with local honey and maple syrup, coffee, specialty pickles, jam, salsa and gourmet butter—anything from our Sunflower Market!
Purchasing an egg share means that we will reserve 1 dozen eggs for you each week, at a discount ($6.25 vs $7 dozen), and they are held specifically for you. As we do not always have an over abundance of eggs, especially in winter, this is a nice optional add on, and you would still have $30 to spend in the market each week on other things. You are always welcome to purchase eggs with your regular market share, but without a pre-paid egg share, they will not be held in reserve 🙂
New Members: +$40*
If you are joining us for the first time, there is a one-time fee of $40 which includes processing and one CFF bin or two CFF bags.
If you’d like to join us for the Winter Season, please add up your total, then click the “Purchase a Share” button below (coming soon).

*Fee waived for Blessing Basket participants
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.
*New Giving Program*
We are just getting started on a new for 2025 program called “Blessings Baskets”, which provides local families in need with a CSA Share from our market for this Winter Season. This means that they will have an opportunity to come into our market on a weekly basis to shop from our fresh produce, baked goods, honey, milk, eggs, and more items of their choosing. In addition to receiving free nutritious food, they will receive a weekly newsletter with recipes, and we will have periodic cooking lessons in our “Cooking Corner” throughout the winter as well.
We are humbled and joyful about being able to support our local community in this way, and, as always, you have been so very supportive! We want to thank all of the Blessing Basket family sponsors that have decided to join us on this new journey, and truly hope to see this program grow in the months/years ahead. And although we are not in need of family sponsorships at this time, we are learning that there are some additional administrative costs associated with this new program that we could really use your help with. So, if you are still interested in helping out, clink below to donate and join us in blessing families in need. We are truly better together!
