ABOUT THE FARM

 

 

Community Supported Agriculture is a unique producer/consumer relationship in which the consumer invests in a farm's harvest at the beginning of the season.  For farmers, this ensures a market for their product and cash flow at the time when it is most needed.  In exchange, our farm guarantees the highest quality produce of the season delivered every week.

The produce is available for pick-up at your choice of locations.  We also offer home delivery within a reasonable radius and for a fee.

You will also receive a weekly e-newsletter describing the week's allotment, how best to preserve and prepare the harvest, farm happenings, and recipes.

Each fall we invite members out for a fall harvest party.   This is a wonderful time to see where it is all grown and enjoy the unique beauty of a farm.

 

What you Get!

We are often asked about how much produce is a "share".  The answer depends on how often you cook and how many mouths are in your household.  Many members say it is perfect for a family and some say it is just right for two. 

 We choose crop varieties based on flavor.  In addition to traditional favorites, we grow specialty, heirloom, gourmet, and ethnic varieties. This year we are growing 46 vegetables, encompassing 225 varieties and herbs, as well as many cut flowers.

  Spring distributions include a variety of salad greens, head lettuce, cooking greens (turnip, mustard, kale, chard, broccoli raab), peas, onions, roots (beets, carrots, radishes, turnips), strawberries, fava/broad beans, Brassicas (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi), fennel,and herbs. 

Summer includes tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash, peas, beans, cucumbers, melons, okra, potatoes, garlic, and basil. 

Fall is fairly similar to spring, minus strawberries and spring peas but with some carry over from summer as well as rutabaga, leeks, winter squash (pumpkins, butternut, spaghetti, delicata), and sweet potatoes.
