🧺 How it works
A simple CSA model for local food in South Wales
Celtic Roots Farm & Gardens is creating a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) system in the Vale of Glamorgan. It’s designed for real life: seasonal supply, busy families, and steady growth without chaos.
Based near Pendoylan, Vale of Glamorgan. Supporting local producers across Wales as the system grows.
What does CSA mean?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It means the community supports the farm so we can plan properly, grow food with integrity, and build a dependable local supply over time.
In practical terms: membership improves planning, reduces waste, and helps us build the infrastructure that makes local food convenient.
How the Celtic Roots membership works
Join (Seed is free)
Start with Seed membership to stay in the loop. Upgrade later when you want extra benefits and to support the farm.
Best first step if you’re searching “CSA near me” or “local food box” and want a calm, trustworthy start.
Choose seasonally
You’ll see what’s available and what’s coming. This is what makes the system work: better planning, less waste.
Seasonal food means some items come and go. That’s part of healthier land and a stronger local system.
Collect or deliver (as we grow)
We’ll start with the simplest reliable ordering process, then expand drop points and delivery routes step by step.
The goal is convenience without burning out the farm or making promises we can’t keep.
Support Welsh producers when needed
If crops dip, we buy in from trusted local producers. Your spend still strengthens the local economy instead of supermarkets.
This makes the system more resilient and helps keep supply steady through real-world growing conditions.
Seasonal and simple by design
We grow with the seasons. We’ll always choose sustainability and reliability over rushing.
What’s included right now
Clear membership and communication
Join, get updates, stay connected, and get to know the farm before ordering opens.
Open days, events, and community momentum
We grow through real relationships, not spammy marketing.
Retreat enquiries and off-grid experiences
A calm, values-led stay that supports the farm.
Sponsor an apple tree
A simple way for the community to support biodiversity and long-term local food.
What’s coming next (when ready)
Food ordering and baskets will open once the membership base and updates are steady.
That keeps trust high and prevents overpromising.
