Farm-to-Front Door: Local CSAs & Organic Produce Delivery Services

Looking for the easiest way to get organic produce delivered in the greater Dayton/Washington Township area? Short answer: join a local CSA (farm subscription) if you want peak-season variety and to support a specific farm, or use local delivery marketplaces and grocery delivery for week-to-week flexibility. Below we outline trusted options near our Washington Trace community and across Dayton, plus how to choose the right fit for your household. Oberer Homes

CSA vs. Delivery: What’s the difference?

  • CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture): You pre-purchase a share and receive a weekly/bi-weekly box of seasonal produce; some farms offer home delivery while others use neighborhood pick-ups. Expect fresher-than-grocery quality and strong local impact. 
  • Delivery services/marketplaces: Order when you like; choose from multiple farms and makers. Great for schedule changes, trying new items, or supplementing a CSA.

How to Choose (3 Quick Questions)

  1. Pick-up vs. delivery: Prefer doorstep convenience? Choose a CSA that delivers (e.g., Green Table Gardens) or a marketplace like Market Wagon. Comfortable with pick-ups? Mission of Mary’s farm hub is simple and community-oriented. 
  2. Up-front commitment: CSAs usually require a season commitment (some now charge per-delivery); marketplaces and grocery delivery are pay-as-you-go. 
  3. Dietary flexibility: If you love surprises and seasonal cooking, choose a traditional CSA. If you need to hand-pick items each week, use Market Wagon or DLM Drive-Up.

  • Fill the gaps: Use DLM Drive-Up or Market Wagon for fruit, eggs, and staples on off-weeks.
