Community Supported Agriculture

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.
