2021 Summer CSA Memberships
Community Supported Agriculture
or “CSA” is a membership subscription to the farm’s growing season. When you sign up for a share, you pay up front for a season in exchange for a box of fresh, just harvested, produce each week. By paying in advance, you are helping to reduce the burden of up front costs faced by farmers for things like seeds, compost, and supplies.
By making this commitment you become a part of our farm, and in exchange we provide you with high quality, naturally grown, nutrient dense produce each week throughout the share season. You’re also helping to build our local economy, create jobs in our community, and support other local farms that we carry in our farm-stand.
“The goals of a CSA however, go beyond an economic exchange. CSA is, as defenders argue, a fundamental rethinking of the relationship among food, economics, and community, a move toward a greater degree of ecological sustainability and an attempt to partly disengage from the global supermarket and establish vital local agricultural economics. ”
— Stephen Schnell. Food With A Famer’s Face: Community Supported Agriculture in the United States.

Our chickens are raised humanely with lots of space to roam, sleep, and are given grain only when supplement is needed (i.e. the cold Vermont winters). These girls are definitely living the life!
