2021 CSA Shares Available!

I've come to the realization that I simply cannot grow less produce! I always have way more than I need for my small family but not nearly enough to go to a farmers' market. So, this year I have decided to offer a "micro-CSA." Not micro as in small shares but micro as in only a few shares. I'm planning to offer three shares this year. If you are local to our farm here in Milford, NH, consider signing up for a weekly share of our bounty!

As a micro-CSA, you can expect benefits from us that you just can't get from the big guys. Because I'll only be preparing shares for a few families, I can tailor them to your preferences. Can't stand radishes? No problem! Like yellow squash but not zucchini, you got it! Want extra basil to make some pesto? We've got you covered. When you sign up, I'll send you a survey to get a feel for what you want out of your share and what you really don't want! We will do our best to give you a basket that suits you based on what we have available that week. 

Our shares will run approximately 20 weeks, from roughly early May to the end of September, depending on what Mother Nature give us. While the shares in the beginning and end will be lighter as things ramp up and trail off, you can expect up to a full bushel of delicious farm fresh produce per week (about two grocery sacks worth). Most weeks will also include a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Pick up will be at the farm and days and pick up times will be decided on a case by case basis closer to the season. 

Our shares will include a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers. Please be aware that the amount of fruit will be somewhat limited as our production of many of those items is still developing. A list of the expected varieties is listed below as is a gallery of images of some of the produce you can expect to receive. Please remember, that as a CSA, I cannot guarantee that every single one of these items will make it into your basket, as there is always the chance of crop failure for one reason or another, but I am growing enough of a variety that there will be plenty of bounty!

Here is what we are planning to offer as far as varieties this year:

• Vegetables - asparagus, radish, spinach, romaine lettuce, arugula, butterhead lettuce, English peas, sugar snap peas, bok choy, carrots, Chinese broccoli, broccolini, kale, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes (both slicers and cherry), beets, green beans, cucumber (both slicing and pickling), amaranth (beautiful multi-colored salad greens - see picture in the gallery), garlic, onions (slicing, green, and shallots), potatoes, peppers, cabbage, rhubarb, artichoke, swiss chard, parsnip, Brussel sprouts, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, pumpkins, and rutabagas.
• Fruits - strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, and peaches.
• Herbs - parsley, basil (four varieties), oregano, dill, chives, thyme, French tarragon, rosemary, sage, and mint.
• Flowers - dahlias, peonies, zinnia, daffodils, tulips, gladiolas, and sunflowers.
