Winter CSA: Shared Harvest CSA

Shared Harvest CSA was founded and operated since 2007 as a multiple farm Winter CSA, connecting local, small-scale farmers with people who wish to eat well while supporting local family farms.

Our passion has always been supporting small-scale, conscientious growers in our regional food-shed. We chose to buy whole, nutritious food from growers and producers whose work is responsibly taking care of the land and their families and communities. Good land management means healthy soil which means more nutritious, tastier food with lasting quality!

WHAT IS IN A SHARE?: As in the past, shares will be two bushel boxes of local produce. While Mother Nature will have the final say, here's what we hope to see in the CSA share boxes this year:

November—Apples, Beets, Carrots, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, Watermelon Radishes, Butternut/Acorn Squash, Cabbage, Shallots, Onions, Garlic, Kale, Popcorn, Leeks, and Herbs
December—Beets, Carrots, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Watermelon Radishes, Daikon, Parsnips, Butternut/Acorn Squash, Kohlrabi, Cabbage, Shallots, Onions, Garlic, Head Lettuce, Kale, Herbs

PICK UP YOUR SHARE:

Saturdays, November 18 and December 16

1-3pm at Bay End Farm, 200 Bournedale Road, Buzzards Bay.

The Shared Harvest CSA project, founded originally by Gretta Anderson in 2007, has featured primary vegetable growers Picadilly Farm and Riverland Farm, both certified organic. For almost all of those years, Cider Hill Farm grew and provided our apples and Charley Baer provided dried beans for our shares. As part of our monthly distributions, members pre-ordered Extras like cheese, eggs, honey, maple syrup, meats from pasture-raised animals, single bags of potatoes, carrots, bulk bags of garlic, cranberries, and much more, all from local family farms, most of who grow certified organic. Many of these Extras are also available for sale on our pickup days.
