We’re excited to be offering a summer CSA again this year! CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture.” CSA members pay up front for a summer’s worth of vegetables. Then, each week during our 18-week peak season, they pick up a share of freshly harvested produce from our farm. This share is designed to provide a wide variety of vegetables throughout the season (roughly 7-9 items per week, with shares being slightly smaller at the beginning of the season; see examples below). We’ll also send out a weekly email with cooking suggestions and our recommendations for how to store your produce to help it last as long as possible.
The Details:
- CSA Season: 18 weeks, from the week of May 24 through the week of September 20.
- Pick Up Location: our farmstand at 899 Stony Hill Rd, Wilbraham
- Pick Up Days: Wed (2-5pm) or Sat (10am-1pm). You’ll choose your pick-up day when you sign up.
- Cost: $540
- CSA Sign Ups will run until April 1, or until we fill up. Pay by Paypal/ credit card at check out, or by mailing a check to us at 899 Stony Hill Rd, Wilbraham, MA 01095. If you would like to set up a payment plan or pay using SNAP/HIP, please email us at farmer@stonyhillfarmwilbraham.com.
What’s in a share?
The contents of the share will vary each week, depending on what’s in season. You can expect 7-9 veggies per week, with shares being slightly smaller at the beginning of the season, when there is less available. Here are some examples of what the Full Share might look like at different points in the summer:
- June: 1 head lettuce, 1 head bok choy, 1 bunch garlic scapes, 1 quart sugar snap peas, 2 zucchini, 1 bunch carrots, 1 bunch basil, 1 pint new potatoes
- September: 1 head lettuce, 1 bunch Swiss chard, 1 bunch beets, 2 delicata squash, 6 poblano peppers, 1 bunch scallions, 1 quart tomatoes, 1 bunch cilantro
