CSA Base Share Options:
We are offering three different share options for the upcoming season, including a new Individual or ?Mini? sized share. All shares will be distributed outdoors at our farm located at 150 North River Road in Milford and run approximately eighteen weeks, generally starting in mid June and running into October. *Please note that this year in response to feedback desiring more choice, we will not be pre-boxing shares. Shareholders will report to the CSA tent where they will find all the items for that week set up like an outdoor farmers market with a board listing which items are included in each share size that week. Some choice items will be included to allow more flexibility (for instance choose two squash or two zucchini or choose a bunch of kale or swiss chard, etc), . Depending on your shopping style please budget anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to gather your share. Shareholders are asked to bring their own reusable shopping bags in which to bring home their shares.
-Our Individual Mini Share option is our newest and smallest share size. It is approximately a quarter bushel of food and is best suited to a single person or couple. $325
-Our Standard Share is our most popular choice and is on average about a half bushel of produce. It will include produce that would supply a small family or couple who likes to cook for the week. This is a great share to begin with if you are new to a CSA. $480
-Our Family Share is our largest share option. This choice also gives you a great variety of what the season has to offer but in a larger quantity than our standard share. This option is equivalent to a full bushels worth of produce and gives you a larger selection of some of your favorites. This option is perfect for larger families or people who really love to cook. $875
CSA Share pickup day/time: There will be at least one weekday afternoon pickup option to accommodate the after work crowd as well as one weekend morning pickup option. After you purchase your share, we will be in touch with you to coordinate your chosen pickup date. Please note that we ask shareholders to keep the same pickup day choice throughout the entire season. This being said, if you ever need to skip a week, you are welcome to send a friend or family member to pick up your share for you. If you are unable to send someone to pick up your share, we are happy to donate your share for that week to SHARE Outreach, Inc., Milford's local food pantry. Please note that all unclaimed shares are put to good use and also donated to SHARE, Outreach after each distribution.
