CSA: Hermit Thrush Homestead

Every week members receive a bag or box of fresh seasonal vegetables and herbs, as well as occasional flowers and value added products (i.e. jam, pesto, pickles, salsa, etc.).

~Dates~ The season runs 20 weeks, from June 11 through October 21.

~Pick-up and Delivery~ Pick-up is available at the farm every Friday afternoon, 3pm- 6pm, or Tuesday afternoons in Brattleboro (exact location TBA).

Seasonal variability effects when certain crops will be available, but the following is a list of what items you can expect throughout the summer and fall:

June- rainbow chard, kale, lettuce, salad mix, spinach, beets, peas, bok choi, mizuna, broccoli sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, sunflower shoots, radishes

Some crops, such as greens, herbs, and salad mix, will be part of the share throughout the season.

We offer three types of shares. Our full share is suitable for 3 adults or a 2 adult and 2 children family eating an average amount of vegetables each week. If you are a 1-2 person household, but are vegetarian, or just eat a lot of vegetables, consider getting the full share.

Full Share- $500 ($25 a week) (3 adults/ 2 adults & 2 children)

Half Share- $400 ($20 a week) (2 adults)

Single Share- $300 ($15 a week) (1 adult)

We also offer half season shares, June-August, and August-October. These partial season shares are pro-rated to half the full season membership fee.

Likewise, if you join the CSA after June 15, the fee is pro-rated.

We feel the cost of our CSA share is competitive with grocery store prices and we strive to make our food available to everyone at an affordable price. If you would like to join but feel you cannot pay the full fee, talk to us. We are happy to offer payment plans, work-trade exchanges, or bartering to make our food accessible to everyone.
