Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

Delicious, healthy, sustainable, and vegan meal kits; Delivered in Boston, MA!
So much green! We have luscious spinach, pac choi, red russian kale, plus white turnips! Despite this cold and wet weather, our skillful farmers are finding a way to keep their crops warm and protected from pests- a feat to be marveled upon, and appreciated as you eat all this wonderful food!
What is Community Supported Agriculture?
The model started a few decades ago for the purpose of raising funds early in the season when farmers are buying seeds, repairing and purchasing equipment, and are putting in time for all the produce to come in the coming months. Getting a financial commitment from customers before the season starts not only means farmers have the funds to purchase the goods they need, but they also know that they have a committed market for the produce they are growing. A win win!
We’re doing something a little different. Instead of getting your commitment before the season begins, we’re giving our farmers a market for some of the excess produce they are growing. It’s common to grow 10-15% more than anticipated need, as insurance against adverse weather or pests. If all goes well, our farmers end up with more produce than they can sell- which is where you come in! Give our farmers a little extra support, and get amazingly fresh veggies for six weeks!
SALAD CSA
Our salad share share starts next week! It’s 6 weeks of $20 worth of amazingly fresh veggies that are great eaten raw and in salads. You’ll get whatever our farmers harvested that day! Signup in the add-on section on the website. It’ll be delivered along wth your meal kits. If you need to skip a week consider gifting it to a neighbor, or let us know, and we will donate your box that week to the Needham Food Bank.
