CSA:   Blenheim Organic Gardens   (May-November)

(5 reviews)

Blenheim Organic Gardens CSA share is delivered to Falls Church and Fredericksburg, or members may pick up at the farm. We have a Summer CSA that typically runs from mid May to the first week in October. We also offer a Fall CSA that starts in mid October and runs through November. The vegetables, herbs & fruit are USDA Certified Organic and grown entirely by us and on our farm, Blenheim Farm. The produce is usually washed, cleaned &/or bunched or bagged. We pack the share in one waxed box each week & every family rotates 2 boxes, so that on the next week's delivery the previous, now empty, box is returned to the pick-up location to be taken back to the farm & refilled for the following week. We do not offer half shares. If a share seems too large, we encourage members to find someone to split the share with. The selection of produce is what is in season & is decided by the us. There are 6-9 items in the box each week. Earlier in the season, when there is less to choose from, the share will likely contain 6 items, but in the summer there could even be 10 items in a weekly share! The selection of produce ranges from Arugula to zucchini.(Check out our list of vegetables, fruit & herbs we grow in our Local Harvest listing, where you can also find recipes for each vegetable, fruit or herb.) Each week the box will have a list of that week's produce, & very often recipes & ideas how to prepare the vegetables or herbs. CSA members are invited to the farm at least 2 times a year. We have a CSA Open House before the season starts. In August we host a Tomato Tasting Day, which includes a picnic and farm tour. Each year we hope to have a few work days where members may come and help with a farming project, and in return for their service get fed a delicious farm grown meal and an offer to take home some vegetables or fruit!

Our Fall CSA starts mid-October for 7 or 8 weeks. The cost ranges from $290-$310 for the fall season, depending where you pick up. Things that may be in our Fall CSA are: radishes, salad mix, arugula, kale, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, head lettuces, bok choy, cabbage, Asian greens, spinach, kohlrabi, herbs and lots of sweet potatoes. Before frost we also have the late summer crops, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant ,okra, crowder peas, beans and basil, and possibly other things. All Certified Organic and Grown on Our Farm. The weekly CSA share typically contains 6-9 items, often times 8-9. And we usually have a bountiful CSA share the Tuesday before Thanksgiving! Many of our CSA members particularly enjoy our Fall CSA.
