Community Supported Agriculture Programs

Community supported agriculture (CSA) programs

This is a shot taken when our fields were in bloom just 2 years ago, mid summer. Our Farm Share program allows people to preorder a piece of our harvest. We prepare the best of the best picks in a neatly organized farm basket, which you can pick up every Friday as soon as the first yields come though. Why spend double to buy food that was grown in Mexico or South America, when you can pay half and get the food freshly picked from our land here in Milford Connecticut.!!!!

CSA provides a direct link between local farmers and consumers. Each season, members purchase a share of a farmer's crop before it's planted. This allows the farmer to pay for seed, water and equipment upfront, so s/he is less reliant on banks and loans. Each week during the harvest time, usually June through October, the farmer delivers great tasting, healthy food to the members at pre-determined locations. In some instances, members pick up their share directly from the farm.


We are now accepting applications for our 2011 Farm Share Program. A program that allows families and individuals to prepurchase a share of our harvest as the crops come to ripen. You pick up a weekly baskets stuffed full of what ever crops are ripe that week.
