Thanksgiving CSA Shares and store
share a local feast with your friends and family this thanksgiving
What's in a Share?
The Thanksgiving share will have all the veggies you need for your Thanksgiving table in quantity so you will have lots of leftovers. The share will include: potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, rutabagas, parsnips, garlic, onions, winter squash, kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and winter squash.
When is the Thanksgiving share and store?
Boston area shareholders can pick up their box at their usual share pick up location and times on Thursday, November 20.
Local on farm pick-ups in Amherst are Saturday November 22, 8AM-1 PM and Tuesday November 25, 2 PM - 6:30 PM.
How much is a share?
The Thanksgiving share price is $40.
You may also choose to shop for produce at retail price if you do not purchase a share. Regular season and winter season shareholders will receive 15% off vegetable purchases.
Additonal produce will be available for sale as well as other local goods including eggs, dariy and apples.
The thanksgiving store and shop are new for 2025.
What is this all about?
This year the regular season share ends November 8. The farm will take a break from the CSA for two weeks to finish up the fall harvest, prepare the farm for winter and plant our garlic.
But don’t worry, you will still be able to have Brookfield veggies at your Thanksgiving table. This year you may purchase a Thanksgiving share or come shop for your thanksgiving table or both! All are welcome to sign up for a share and shop, so spread the word.
Why the change?
We know change is hard but are certain this was an important change for the long term viability of Brookfield Farm. As the new managers at Brookfield Farm, we recognized some important updates the farm needed to sustain itself for the longterm.
One area we focused in on was making the farm more friendly to the staff, both through a friendlier workplace like keeping a 5 day work week and more comfortable work environment (not working shares in the cold and dark) and increasing wages there by improving our recruitment pool for our apprentice program. We are certain you all want our staff paid fairly as well.
By ending the share on November 8th we still go deeper into the fall than most, if not all other valley farm’s regular season shares.
As we all know, prices are rising on everything. We also feel this on the farm and need to increase the farm revenue to keep up with cost increases in the farm’s operation and capital improvements. We’ve all seen it in the grocery store and it is a reality here too. The farm simply can’t operate in a competitive environment without revenue increases.
We are certain we remain extremely cost competitive with our CSAs in the area and encourage you to shop around if you like.
