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-
- 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
- We offer 2 share sizes-
- Regular Share- feeds 2 people. Your cost is ~$27 per week
- Large Share- feeds 3-4 people. Your cost is ~ $36 per week
- 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 share, occasionally we add specialty items from our kitchen!
- Add a Bread Share from our friends at Slowfire Bakery - Featuring Country, Italian, Salted Herb and special seasonal breads too!
- 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
Why Join?
- We will provide you without a doubt THE FRESHEST produce- picked and washed the very day they go home with you
- Joining Knee Deep Farm's CSA keeps more of your money in our town. We keep this going by doing business locally whenever possible.
- Buying directly from the farmer means a better price for you and for us too.
- By joining our CSA you are becoming part of our farm for the year. This means sharing in all the wonderful abundances of tomatoes or homemade pesto. It also means accepting that farming is a risky endeavor, where we are constantly battling pests, disease, wildlife and the weather.
- Supporting local farms contributes to Vermont's agricultural economy.
- You will know who is growing your food and exactly where it was grown.
- Try new vegetables- we are always trying out different varieties of our favorite vegetables and new veggies we have never grown. Let us know what you want to see!
