A Better Way to Do Farm Boxes.
If you’ve tried CSAs before, you know the tradeoffs:
Pickup days that don’t fit your schedule
Driving out of the way to grab a box before it closes
Boxes filled with random items that don’t come together as comprehensive meals.
One of everything—but not enough of anything
Good intentions… but food that ends up going to waste
It starts to feel like more work than it’s worth
You want to eat local. You want to support farms. But between busy weeks, family schedules, and everything else life brings—you need it to be simple
How The CropDrop Works
A simple way to eat local, farm-fresh food every week.
Start Your Subscription
Set it once—your weekly delivery is handled.
We Harvest & Curate
Each week we select what’s at its peak and build your box around it.
Delivered to Your Door
No pickups. No extra trips. Just fresh food for your week.
Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful.
The CropDrop, brought to you by Shadow Birch Farm, is a weekly farm box membership designed to help you slow down, cook together, and rediscover real food—grown right here on our small, but mighty, farm. Each box includes a rotating mix of fresh vegetables, greens, herbs, and simple recipe inspirations that invite curiosity, creativity, and connection. Don’t forget to add on a whole chicken and a dozen eggs to round out your box!
-
Every week, you’ll receive:
A seasonal selection of farm-grown vegetables and greens
A simple recipe idea or two focused on one of the ingredients or how to pull a meal together.
Ideas and food that encourages mixing, tasting, and making it your own with your family
Choose to add-on a whole chicken or two and dozen eggs to round out your shopping
-
Most meal kits tell you exactly what to do.
The CropDrop does something different.
It helps you:
Try new vegetables without pressure
Build confidence cooking without screens or step-by-step rules
Learn how ingredients work together
You’ll discover vegetables you may not usually buy—like center-cut squash, fennel, or peppery arugula—along with approachable ways to use them.
Meat and eggs are not automatically included (so you can choose what your household prefers), but the recipes are designed to pair easily with protein. Whole Chickens and Eggs can be added a la carte from the online store.

Enjoys experimenting with flavors and textures
Busy People Who Still Care About Food
If you value good food but don’t want:
Long grocery lists
Complicated instructions

Flavor pairings

Basic spices or seasonings
Rarely specialty items required.
-
Everything we grow and raise is done with care and intention.
Vegetables are grown without chemicals, in healthy, living soil
We focus on regenerative practices that build the land over time—not deplete it
Chickens are raised on grass and fed premium organic, corn-free, soy-free feed
No shortcuts, no mass production
That takes more time and effort, but it results in food that’s cleaner, more flavorful, and something you can feel good about feeding your family.
It’s not meant to compete with grocery store food—it’s a different standard entirely. In fact, most local farms do not use organic feeds and spray chemicals when tough growing conditions arise - not us.
