Rosasharn Farm and CSA
We are accepting a limited number of members for our 2011 CSA. Our season runs from June to December. We also offer subscriptions to half the season, either summer (June through Aug.) or fall (Sept.-Dec.)
We plant many vegetables varieties in successive crops to provide assortment throughout the season. We use no chemical fertilizers or pesticides in our gardens and we integrate the vegetable production with the animals as much as possible to recycle nutrients and reduce inputs. We use rich compost- thanks to the goats- and rotate crops such as nitrogen-fixing legumes to enrich the soil. We carefully intercrop vegetable varieties to attract beneficial bugs (which pollinate and eat bad bugs) and deter pests. With practices such as these, and with lots of loving labor, we are able to provide you and your family with sustainably produced, fresh, tasty, healthy produce.
This year we are also offered pastured meat chickens, eggs, and heritage pigs that enjoy the same, careful consideration as our veggies.
Example share August: 2 lbs summer squash/zucchini 2 lbs heirloom tomatoes 1 pint sun gold cherry tomatoes 2 lbs cucumbers 3 sweet peppers 3 jalapeno peppers 1 ½ lbs green beans 1 bunch basil
Example share November: 1 bunch green onions 12 stalks collards 15 stalks kale 2 lbs carrots 1 bunch beets 4-5 lbs pumpkin or winter squash 1 bunch mint 1 lb salad mix (lettuce, arugula and spinach)
Rosasharn Farm is on 80 acres 10 miles east of Providence, RI in Rehoboth, MA. Started in 1986 by Anne Petersen, Rosasharn Farm's main focus was its nationally recognized herd of Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats. In 2009 the farm expanded to include a vegetable CSA managed by Anne's daughter Margiana. This transition was natural after years of family food growing experience. We are excited to continue and expand the CSA for its third year in 2011! This year Margiana is expanding the educational mission of the farm with more school classes, volunteers, and interns working and learning in an inspiring community together on the CSA. We have also expanded to include pastured meat chickens, eggs, and heritage pigs.
