Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
& Our Seasonal Box Shares
Every growing season presents a unique set of challenges for farmers in MA. Having loyal CSA members that love to eat local and are willing to invest in us (and understand our need to adapt week to week) makes weathering each storm a little easier.
Our Seasonal CSA Box Shares: Easier Commitments For Eating Local All Year Long
Due to many changes in our market schedules and systems over the past few years, we no longer offer a prepaid a free choice CSA Share. Instead, we offer multiple sessions of Seasonal CSA Box Shares over the course of the year, ranging from about 6 weeks in the shoulder seasons to 12-24 weeks in winter and summer.
This year, we anticipate our CSA subscriptions to more/less follow the schedule below:
Winter CSA: January - March 2024
Spring CSA: mid April - May 2024
Summer CSA: June - November 2024
We generally don't open signups until about a month or two before pick ups begin. All CSA registrations are done through our online farmstand.
Want a little more flexibility? Try our Weekly Box Share - sign up for only the weeks you want! Want even more flexibility? Order a la carte through our Online Farmstand.
Important Notes Regarding Seasonal CSA Box Shares
Pick Up Options
You can pick up your CSA Share - whether it is a Seasonal Share or a Week By Week Share at any of our current pick up locations including farmers markets. These typically include pick up options in Westport, Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, and Needham, MA as well as with Tiverton, RI.
Box Customization
Produce will be from either our farm or the farms of some of our local farming friends. All vegetables will be either "all natural" the way we grow, or certified organic. Nothing will be grown with synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or GMO seeds.
While you are not able to modify the boxes, you are welcome to add additional items on a week by week basis from our a la carte selection to ensure you get the ingredient you need.
Schedule Conflicts
We understand life happens. If you sign up for a Seasonal CSA Box Share and are unable to make a pickup, let us know at least 3 days in advance. We do our best to accommodate these changes including making arrangements for a family member or friend to pick up in your place, skipping a week and providing you with two boxes the following week, or adding your box to our donation to a hunger relief organization for that week.
