Colchester Farm Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) / CFCSA produces a wide range of vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruit for approximately 150 CSA members, a local farmers market, and local restaurants. The CSA leases 10 acres of land from Colchester Farm LLC, a 350 acre farm located on the Sassafras River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, on Maryland's eastern shore. The CSA is in its ninth season of operation in 2011!
Each year, Colchester Farm CSA offers internships to individuals interested in gaining hands-on experience in sustainable vegetable production and the marketing of produce through a Community Supported Agriculture project.
We have three share size options in 2011: a small share (5 units) for $345, as well as our medium (8 units) for $495, and our large (14 units) for $760.
The season is 26 weeks long extending from late May through mid-November. Each week, depending on which size you purchase, you will receive 5, 8 or 14 units of vegetables. If you pick up your produce at the farm (Fridays 4-6pm) or at the Kingstown Garden Center pick-up location (Tues 4-6pm), you get to choose which vegetables you take home with you from the selection of produce available that day.
