2023 Season
The CSA season begins about the middle of May based upon spring emergence of Asparagus. The 20 week season will take us into September. Last year we started the practice of skipping CSA delivery the first week of each month and offering an on farm market instead. Some folks told us it gives them a chance to catch up using their produce, other families used it as an opportunity to visit the farm. We will continue this practice again for the 2023 season. To make this clear this means you would not receive a delivery the 1st week of every month. If you need product we will have a farm market set up Saturday from 8:00am to noon.
In response to customer requests we are trying to include small fruits in the shares more often. The blueberry patch was expanded in 2014, and we brought back red raspberries in 2017 after several years absence. We will make sure that you will get to experience pineapple tomatillos and our favorite, golden berries (cape goose berries) at least a couple times in your share. We will deliver to your home or office or you may pick-up at the farm on Fridays. The cost per 18-week share is $612 delivered or pick-up at the farm for $540.
Being a member of a CSA means you act as our partners. The possibility of a crop failure is certainly a risk. We utilize several practices that minimize the potential for crop failures including drip irrigation, the use of insect netting barriers, and high tunnel and row covers for frost protection.
Members should expect to receive most of the items in the list below over the course of the season.
