How CSA Works:
-
You buy an
annual share of the farms harvest.
The share is picked up or delivered weekly as
noted below.
-
We start the
first week of June and run through the end of October. The program
runs around 22 weeks.
-
In June,
crops are usually lettuce, scallions, dandelion greens, escarole,
Broccoli Rabe (or Raab),
some herbs, peas, beets with greens, collards, spinach, Swiss chard,
radishes, and more!
-
As the season
goes by, we pick more and more. Greenhouse tomatoes, cucumbers,
squash, pickles, beans, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower all start to
being harvested by the end of June.
-
In July our
field tomatoes, onions, peppers, eggplants, and of course our sweet corn
are ready!
-
Fall brings
Leeks, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Turnip Greens, Turnips, Kale, Brussels
Sprouts, Radishes, Lettuce, Spinach, and Winter Squash.
-
Farm Fresh
Eggs will be included occasionally (not all weeks) but since the demand
for eggs has outgrown what our flock can produce, chicken eggs will be
provided from another farm, not ours.
-
The
program cost is $600.00 per share or $300.00 per ½ share at the
Farm. Half shares delivered are $350.00 for all drop points.
-
Half payment
due with completed application and the second half is due before first
pick-up 2010.
-
The weekly
share is a box full of fresh farm products worth a minimum of
$27.50/week (which is $600/22 weeks).
-
Unclaimed Farm pick-up boxes will be available at the farm until the next day.
(If you forget your box it can be picked up after hours or the next
morning)
-
Unclaimed Fairfield, Westport and Market boxes will be donated to local
food banks.
-
Failure to pick-up shares at set times or without prior notification in
will result in a forfeit of the weeks share.
