To sign up, you’ll choose your box size, set your preferences, & let us know any relevant delivery instructions.
Change your box size and preferences, skip or donate your box via your account dashboard. Add as much as you like to any box size at any time.
We use a program called “CSAware” to build boxes and keep track of everyone’s details. When you click the sign up button, you’ll be directed to this portal.
2) Customize & add to your box
Each Friday, we send you an email which details the produce & provisions we have sourced from our farm and farmers and makers we know and trust. The week’s deadline to customize, add to, donate, or skip your box is Saturdays at 11PM CT. You’ll use your CSAware portal to make these changes. Check out the extensive list of options for this week's box.
3) Get your box & recycle
The box is delivered the following Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, depending on where you live.If you’re not home to receive your box, we simply ask that you leave out a cooler. We deliver 48 weeks per year!
And we reuse and recycle! Each week, be sure to leave out any clean and dry wax boxes your produce arrives in, freezer sleeves, plastic produce bags, planter pots, pint containers, quart or pint jars and egg cartons. Your driver will pick them up.

“I've been with them for almost 10 years and am a huge fan. It's been great to see them progress as a company and work so hard to create a world with sustainable, local, high-quality food. You guys rock!!” - Robert M
“The prices are beyond reasonable. The web and delivery process is zero stress! I’m sharing this info with as many friends/family that will listen!” - Brandy O
“Great fresh produce. Complete flexibility. No up-front fees. Wide selection. Dependable. Great greens -- their lettuces and winter spinach couldn't be more delicious. I get fresh mushrooms with every order. I eat their cherry tomatoes like candy -- wonderful!” - C. B.
“I have LOVED my experience at Tomato Mountain so far! It’s such a privilege to have high quality produce and staples delivered to your doorstep at a very reasonable price. While I am a part of other CSAs as well, my experience with Tomato Mountain has been extra special because I can find an incredibly vast variety of foods (even in the winter!) and all I have to do is put my cooler on my front porch each week. For people who are conscious of the quality of food you consume, or even those who are busy and just like the option of your produce/pantry being delivered right to you each week, Tomato Mountain’s CSA is a winner! Highly recommended!” - Zoe L.
“Not just good but life-changing, I've been with them for more than five years and now that the system is customizable and full of options it's covering so much of our food we hardly ever have to go to grocery stores or markets, the delivery is so convenient and the quality always brilliant. Grocery store delivery often brings bruised or sub-par produce but Tomato Mountain is the opposite, always bringing us produce that's stunningly fresh & gorgeous. Their own veggies are the sweetest spinach, carrots, and tomatoes ever, amazing peppers, salsas, and variety, but the add-ons from partner farms now include stunning sourdough bread, fruit, frozen fruits & veggies, fantastic firm tofu, great milk & cheeses, oils & vinegars, miso, hot sauce, a rotation of pre-made things like pies & veggie burgers to be step-savers on busy nights, and a constant array of new additions. We're eating better than ever, saving the time we would spend shopping, and we know it's all grown with ethical labor practices.One of the best decisions we ever made!” - Ada P
“Their CSA is the most affordable BY FAR in the Chicagoland area AND you can customize what you get. The value feels excellent and the food has been delicious so far. They are also extremely courteous, from texts to check in about my delivery preferences to a personal email making sure everything this going well. They also have great options for your box, really clear instructions, and regular communication about what you're getting. Can't recommend them enough!” - Lily L.
"This is my first time signing up for a CSA, and I absolutely love it! I am eating so many more vegetables. Everything tastes amazing and so fresh. I can customize my box and add extra things, or keep it to my minimum box which is only $16. I also love being able to add eggs and bread for weekly delivery, and other pantry items if I choose. It's super easy to pause deliveries when I am out of town. I was concerned about the extra expense of local, organic produce as someone who is on a budget, but I am actually making better food choices so I am spending the same amount as I was before. Totally recommend it." - E. Rafi
“Tomato Mountain was recommended to me at a farmer's market and I cannot say enough good things about them. It is easy to customize your box with add ons, pause or donate if you do not need produce for a particular week and delivery is always prompt and courteous. Most importantly, the produce has been fresh and delicious.” - Nirali P.
“I have subscribed to this CSA for nearly two years, and it’s just fabulous. You can customize your box, skip weeks when you’re on vacation or just have too much produce, and you can even specify where it’s delivered - they came to my kitchen door! Communication has been predictable, fast, and efficient. Highly recommend!” - Lea R.
“We have been Tomato Mountain obsessed since moving to Chicago and we recommend them to all our CSA-oriented friends. The produce is fabulous and recently they have been expanding their offerings to include other delicious goods. Their customer service is also top notch: I have only had wonderful interactions with the staff. Plus, they deliver right to our door. Highly recommend. Tomato Mountain forever!” - Stephanie B.
“OMG I love Tomato Mountain. I used to be a CSA member back in 2015-2016 but had to pause because I wasn't using all my vegetables I would receive in my 1/2 share. I rejoined in 2020 when Tomato Mountain revamped their whole system and now you can pick exactly what goes in your box every week! I love receiving local, organic produce, meats, dairy, special treats, etc. weekly and delivered directly to me. I feel so healthy and good when I eat from Tomato Mountain. I recommend them to everyone I talk to!” - Gabby F.
“A+++++. We’ve been TM customers for over four years and they have consistently terrific options and excellent customer service. The small share is perfect for our two-person vegetarian household. The new site is easy to use and you can swap items depending on your preferences. Plus a ton of fun other goodie besides fruit/vegetables. We love Tomato Mountain!” - Erin B.
“Becoming a part of this CSA has truly been the highlight of my year. The quality of the goods and the team that brings them to my doorstep each week is unparalleled. Living in a major city like Chicago, I never expected to eat this cleanly. Convenience and sustainability at a totally fair price. Tomato Mountain is a GAME-CHANGER!” - Kieran C
“Excellent variety and quality of local & regional produce as well as grocery items. Love the selection and home delivery. Exceptional customer support!” - Barbara A.
