What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a great way to buy delicious, seasonal local food directly from a farmer. You sign up at the beginning of the season, and every week you get a bounty of beautiful vegetables. You’ll also get a newsletter letting you know what’s new on the farm, and we’ll share our favorite recipes for preparing that week’s veggies. CSA members (that’s you!) get the chance to develop a close relationship with the farm and will be invited to join us in special events and volunteer days. By joining Langwater Farm CSA, you can support a new local farm, have a well-stocked pantry full of amazing fresh produce, eat healthier, and know exactly where and who your food comes from.
Want to learn more? Local Harvest has a great description of what a CSA is and tips for new CSA members.
Our CSA is great for anyone who loves fresh food, farms, cooking, or eating. You will eat the best, healthiest, freshest, ripest seasonal produce all season long. Our CSA is for anyone who wants to eat great food, be introduced to new vegetables, eat more vegetables, and support local agriculture. To reserve a share for the 2012 season, just fill out our application and mail it back to us.
2012 Langwater Farm CSA Options: We have a number of options to choose from:
Full Season CSA: Weekly pickups of our own Certified Organic produce will start in late May and go through the end of October (24 weeks). Each week you’ll get a mix of 5-10 different veggies. The variety and quantity will change according to the season. Choose from a Whole Share for $625 or a Half Share for $350.
Farmstand CSA: A more flexible option: $350 gets you a $400 debit card, redeemable for any item whenever the farmstand is open, all season long. You choose what veggies you like and when you want them.
Flower CSA: Ten weeks of beautiful bouquets from July to mid September for $125.
Winter CSA: Saving the best for last, the Winter CSA runs for 8 weeks, November-December. For $175, a share will include lots of greens, roots, and winter squash and average $20-$25 worth of produce each week. For the winter CSA we may supplement our own veggies with organic produce from other local farms.
Ashmont-Peabody Farmers Market CSA: Weekly pickups of our own Certified Organic produce at the Ashmont/Peabody Square Farmers Market on Fridays, 3-7 pm from July-October (15 weeks). Choose from a Whole Share for $450 or a Half Share for $250. More information here.
All members will receive a weekly newsletter with farm updates and recipes, plus invitations to volunteer days and any other farm events. Primary communication will be via email.
Where and when do I pick up my share?
CSA pickups will take place at the farmstand at Langwater Farm, located at 209 Washington St. (Rt. 138) in North Easton. The Full Season CSA runs for 24 weeks, from late May through the end of October. You can choose to pick up your share on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays during farmstand hours, 10 am – 6 pm. Or, with the Farmstand CSA, you can come any time we are open: Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am – 6 pm, mid-May through Christmas Eve. We will be in touch weekly with a reminder (and some great recipes and the latest news about the farm).
Ashmont Farmers Market CSA pickups will be at the farmers market, Fridays from 3-7 pm from July to October.
What vegetables do you grow?
We grow a very wide variety of different vegetables. In the spring, you’ll enjoy peas, lettuce, radishes, greens like kale and spinach, spring onions, and garlic scapes. Early summer brings beets, carrots, green beans, zucchini, and broccoli. By midsummer, we’ll be into tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, and melons. And in the fall, we have hearty winter squash, greens, brussels sprouts, cabbage, potatoes, other root crops, and a pie pumpkin for Halloween.
Is the food organic?
We are proud that all the vegetables we grow are Certified Organic. The CSA includes only our own Certifed Organic produce. We often have fruit and other produce from nearby farms for sale at the farmstand, and while this is not always organic, we do label it so you know where it is from and how it was grown.
