Special CSA Note:
We are still making decisions regarding the CSA and will give you more information ASAP.
What’s a CSA?
CSA is a share of produce purchased before the upcoming season to help fund the farm’s purchase of supplies, seed, and equipment. In exchange, shareholders receive a weekly amount of produce. Shares run for 20 weeks from the first week of June through mid-October.
New! Get your CSA share delivered to your door!
We deliver to the towns of Ashfield, Buckland, Charlemont, Colrain, Conway, Greenfield, Hawley, Heath, and Shelburne. Delivery is pay-what-you-can. If it is within your means, a suggested amount is $5/delivery or $100 for the season.
Due to the labor of packing shares, your ability to select the produce you receive will be limited. You will be able to specify what you absolutely do not want or what you would love more of…. but we will be unable to do much beyond that. However, you can always email me and I will do my best to cater to your preferences, if say, you are growing tired of a certain item. 🙂
What is in a share?
Share variety changes throughout the season and is dependent on the weather. The Lyonsville Farm CSA tends to favor salad components as, admittedly, it is my favorite thing to grow and eat! So most every week you will receive the components to make salads (mesclun mix, arugula, spinach, lettuce, etc) and main meals (bunched greens, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, beets, etc). of their own choosing. Shares picked up on the farm are set up ‘market style’ and members are free to choose the items that they would like. This means, if you don’t like kale then you don’t need to take it! Some items may be limited depending on supply. In addition, shareholders have access to pick their own herbs and flowers.
Size
This year we are offering two share sizes. Shares are a generous tote bag (size depending on share size) filled with your choice of vegetables plus additional ‘out of bag’ items.
A full share will easily feed a family of four.
A small share size will feed two adults.
Cost
A full share costs $675 for 20 weeks of produce.
A small share costs $500 for 20 weeks of produce.
There are many payment options to choose from, including payment plans for those that can’t afford to pay the whole cost upfront. If you would like to set up a payment plan, please contact me. Thanks!
