What Full Circle Farm LLC does

Full Circle Farm LLC is a privately held Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm based in Middle River, Maryland, that delivers fresh, seasonal produce directly to subscribers' homes across the greater Baltimore area. Founded in 2017 by Danny following a layoff, the farm operates from 2 leased acres on Bird River Beach Road and leverages cold tunnels, greenhouses, and cold storage to enable year-round vegetable production, delivering 49 weeks annually. The farm's subscription model offers two share sizes — Full Share ($46/week, 10 items) and Half Share ($35/week, 6 items) — across a 24-week Summer season (June 1 – November 13) and a Winter CSA focused on greens and root vegetables.

The farm's revenue streams are recurring CSA subscriptions, an a la carte Online Market with a $25 minimum order (49 weeks per year), wholesale CSA boxes for schools, businesses, restaurants, and non-profits, and direct sales at the Olney Farmers Market (May–November). Membership has grown from 18 initial subscribers in mid-2017 to 40+ by 2018, with some members retained for over four years. Subscription management, ordering, payments, and weekly market inventory are handled through the Local Food Marketplace SaaS platform, which lets members manage holds, view account balances, and place a la carte orders.

The farm supplements its CSA boxes with eggs sourced from Ananda Farm and apples/citrus from partnering farms, donates surplus produce to food banks and churches, and runs a private Facebook CSA Group for member engagement. The business is bootstrapped and founder-operated, with no disclosed external institutional investment, and operates as a single Maryland LLC with no parent or subsidiary entities.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• HelloFresh: Largest DTC meal-kit subscription operator in the US. Indirect competitor — substitutes for the home-cooking use case that drives CSA engagement, with much larger marketing and logistics infrastructure.
• Blue Apron: DTC meal-kit incumbent targeting home-cooking households via weekly subscription. Competes with CSA for the same weekly home delivery meal-occasion budget, though with prepared recipes rather than raw produce.

Direct peers

• One Straw Farm: Maryland-based certified organic vegetable farm operating a CSA with home delivery and farmers market presence across greater Baltimore. Closest comparable in geography, scale, and CSA-plus-delivery model.
• Calvert's Gift Farm: Baltimore County CSA farm offering vegetable subscriptions and home delivery in the same regional market. Comparable on CSA subscription mechanics, local delivery, and small-acreage producer model.
• Licking Creek Bend Farm: Pennsylvania organic CSA farm delivering produce shares to DC/Baltimore corridor subscribers. Comparable subscription model with home delivery and multi-season growing.
• Wild Berry Farm: Maryland small-acreage CSA farm serving Baltimore-area customers with weekly produce boxes. Operates with similar scale, member-driven model, and farmers market supplemental channel.
• Zahradka Farm: Baltimore-area CSA farm where founder Danny trained for 7 years. Operates a CSA with delivery/pickup in the same region; directly comparable in crop mix, member model, and local delivery footprint.

Regional players

• Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative: Pennsylvania-based organic farm cooperative selling wholesale CSA-style produce boxes to businesses and institutions in the Mid-Atlantic. Comparable wholesale CSA B2B model, though at significantly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Imperfect Foods: National DTC produce and grocery subscription box. Targets overlapping consumer demand for convenient local-leaning produce delivery with weekly subscription cadence, but operates at vastly larger scale.
• Misfits Market: DTC subscription produce box service delivering across the US including Maryland. Competes for the same 'fresh produce delivered to door' use case but at national scale with broader assortment and tech-led acquisition.
