This is one of maybe a dozen programs like it in the country. The farm also sells its produce through Community Supported Agriculture shares. CSA shares are sold to individuals or families at the beginning of the season. From this time until the end of the harvest, share holders go out to the farm once a week to pick up their allotment of vegetables. Each share supplies enough produce for a small family.
Prices are on a sliding scale depending on the income of the purchaser.
This year, shareholders will also have the option of adding locally produced bread, cheese and flowers to their share. Edward Martin is a PEAS student. He is excited to be a part of the summer program. These people are incredibly full of energy. It is inspiring to be a part of this.
