About Our CSA
Becoming a member of our CSA is a great way to connect with your community and your food
Here is how it works-
Here is how it works-
- You buy a "share" or membership to our farm in the winter or early spring when our costs for seeds and supplies are high. This gives us a financial boost to get us going until harvest time.
- Pick up your share at our farm every Thursday between 3-7 p.m from Mid-June through Mid- October.
- We offer 2 share sizes-
- Regular Share- feeds 2 people or a family that eats vegetable side dishes. Your cost is ~$28 per week. There are usually around 8-10 items in each weekly share, this changes throughout the season.
- Large Share- feeds 3-4 people or enthusiastic veggie lovers in a smaller household. Your cost is ~ $38 per week. Large share members receive all of the regular share items plus 4-5 additional items.
- Our CSA share cost will save you 10% off grocery store prices.
- Our Fall CSA begins right after the summer share ends. The first couple of weeks may contain late field crops like the last of the sweet peppers, broccoli, cauliflower and radicchio. As the Fall CSA moves on you will see more root crops like carrots, beets, cabbage and potatoes. Greens and winter squash are included in each fall share.
- Add a Bread Share from our friends at Slowfire Bakery - Featuring Country, Italian, Ciabbata and special seasonal breads!
- Full Bread Share- One loaf every week
- Half Bread Share- One loaf every other week
- Certified organic beef and cheese pop- up markets with Stony Pond Farm
