2023-2024 Winter CSA Shares

Feed Your Family Delicious, Local Produce ALL WInter Long

Winter shares now available

Once again, we are pleased to offer you a way to continue to eat the same great locally-produced, farm fare that you've been used to, during the cold winter months. Of course, it will still be seasonal eating (so, we're not talking about melons in February). This is New England, and we're going to eat like it - that means potatoes, cabbage, carrots, squash, onions, beets, turnips, rutabagas, celeriac and pick your own kale, and collards from the field. Our goal is to provide your family with a share of these crops into the winter. 

 

What's in a Share?

  • Distributions take place every other week (Tues.. thru Sun. 8am - 7pm, Dec. thru March) self-serve, directly out of the root cellar. Distributions are at the far in Amherst. We do not offer delivery to the Boston area in the winter.

  • The share is targeted to be an average of 30 lbs per month.

  • The produce will not be washed (too cold for the farmers and the barn water pipes) but will be delicious.

  • We will have other local products available for sale during distribution including eggs, yogurt, and maple syrup. You will also have access to purchasing the most delicious winter greens from our greenhouses if they produce.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the root cellar like!? Well, its a cellar so you have to go down stairs into a cellar. But it has great lighting, easy to read signage, and a well-lit staircase!

  • If I miss a distribution can I make up for it? Yes!! You can double-up on any distribution to make up for any missed one.

  • What if it snows? We plow and sand our parking lot regularly. In the event that we need to close the lot during a weather event, we will notify you by email. If there is a weather event, make sure to check in before heading out to get your share.

  • What if I don't eat a certain vegetable, can I take other vegetables? Sometimes. There is a lot less diversity in local veggie eating in the deep winter months but we do our best to allow you to choose when possible. There will almost certainly always be potatoes with each share pick up.
