Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) allows customers to buy shares
in one season's crops at a local farm. Our 18 week subscription began June 16, 2008.
How much do we receive?
A share includes 5-9 varieties of produce. This will amount to 3-4 pounds in the early spring and up to 15 pounds later in the season. Our farm specializes in greens, but we will also be growing a wide variety of vegetables for our share members using the same high standards. Note: Weather is unpredictable over an entire season and this may reduce the amount of some types of produce.
What types of produce will be in the share?
A broad range of seasonal vegetables including: lettuce, tomatoes, squash, peppers, cucumbers, peas, beans, root crops, arugula, greens, and more. Fresh culinary herbs and cut flowers are also available.
How much does it cost?
A full share is $550 for 18 weeks. If you would like a half share, we encourage individuals to split a share with a friend or neighbor.
How long is the season?
We begin in late June and continue for 18 weeks.
How do we pick up our crops?
Farm pick-up is in York Harbor, ME, on Monday 4-7pm.
Do you deliver?
We will deliver shares to subscribers within a 6 block radius of Market Square, Portsmouth, NH.
How do you harvest?
We strive to provide the freshest produce possible. Shares will always be picked less than 24 hours before pick-up and frequently only a few hours.
How do you grow your crops?
We are a certified organic farm and use no synthetic fertilizers or chemical pesticides in growing our crops. We are committed to sustainable agricultural practices
How do I pay?
To pay with cash or a check, print this form and mail to our address.
What Happens When I go on Vacation?
We encourage subscribers to give their share to a friend or neighbor.
What is the Farm Like?
We lease our land from local landowners who have a goal to keep land green and undeveloped. We have plots in York, Kittery, and Berwick, Maine. Our pick-up location in York Harbor, ME is located within a 200 acre area of land trust and wildlife refuge. Our gardens are open when we are working.
Can We Pick Our Own?
We have a pick-your-own herb garden, and cut flower garden.
