CSA shares are now available for the 2012 growing season!

A Flexible Choice System: How it Works

One share ($400) entitles you to $440 worth of meat and produce from January through December 2012. That is a 10% savings off of our regular market price. You can add to your account at any time throughout the season. Shareholders are given free choice from our in-season vegetables, herbs, flowers, eggs and meat. We will be at the Exeter and Rollinsford Markets in the winter. During the spring, summer & fall our self-service farmstand will be open.  Also we will be at Exeter Farmers’ Market on Thursdays, and at the Portsmouth Farmers’ market on Saturdays. We encourage market members to arrive at market early to ensure greatest selection.

We are also offering a pick-your-own blueberry share. The cost is $100 for 30 pints (15 quarts) of blueberries. That works out to be $3.33 per pint, which is a savings of $50 over the market price over the course of the season. You will be notified when the blueberries are ripe, and are responsible for checking off what you have picked on the sheet in the farmstand.

Becoming a member of our Community Supported Agriculture program is a sustainable way to help farmers with early season start-up costs, and secures a market for fresh produce. Members benefit by getting a discount on our products, and free choice as to what we have available. This amounts to less food waste, and more of the nutritious and beautiful foods that you enjoy. You can choose a time and location that works for you. If you need to skip a week or two, there’s no need to call, but it might be worth sending a friend or neighbor to make sure you don’t get behind. We will keep track of your balance and periodically notify you so you can plan accordingly. You must use up your total amount before the end of December 2012. If there are any unused balances at the end of the year, we will donate that value in vegetables to a local food bank.
