I started the c.s.a. program in 2003 with several objectives in mind- to give people access to my produce in a way that was both economical and convenient,and also as a way to keep the farm viable in the continuing wake of the industrialization that has devastated small scale farming in Massachusetts, throughout the country, and the rest of the world. The way the program works is, once a week through the course of the harvest season, which for me is about the first week of June threw the first week of November, you receive a drop off of a good cross selection of what we have been harvesting that particular week- which depends on at what point in the season it is. Early in the year, it will be mostly greens and some early roots, but by mid-June other things start to appear such as broccoli,beets,carrots and peas- and yes, we pick the peas for you! Early in the summer you'll start to get summer squash, cukes, spring onions and beans(again,we pick the beans for you as well) mid july fava beans, peppers, potatoes, eggplant and cherry tomatoes, and by the end of July the tomatoes and sweet corn start up.
