2024 Langwater CSA

Signing up for a Langwater Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share is the best way to enjoy healthy, seasonal, delicious food while supporting your local organic farm.

Produce CSAs

CSA members enjoy a weekly “share” of our harvest: a curated selection of the freshest fruit and veggies from the field. Here’s how it works:

  • CSA members support the farm upfront. This helps us harvest daily and offer competitive wages to our amazing field crew.
  • You receive a return on your investment, approximately 15% off the retail prices for the veggies in your share. Plus, you’ll feel great about supporting local, organic agriculture.
  • Full Season CSA: Our classic CSA, available in “whole” and “half” shares. Enjoy diverse weekly shares of our own Certified Organic vegetables from May 14 – October 25 (24 weeks)! Your bounty will shift with the seasons from sweet spring greens to our award-winning summer tomatoes, then you’ll feast on a cornucopia of fall crops like broccoli and winter squash. For Full Season CSA shares, we guarantee at least a 15% return on your investment in the farm. You can pick up at the farm in North Easton, or at the Brookline, Davis Square, or Roslindale Farmers’ Markets. Whole share: $795. Half share: $495.

  • Farm & Market CSA: Our “CSA debit cards” are redeemable for anything at the Langwater farm store in North Easton or at our stand at the Brookline, Davis, Roslindale, or Providence Farmers’ Markets. Cards are valid during our growing season from Opening Day (April 6, 2024) through Closing Day (December 22, 2024). Farm & Market CSA sign up is closed for the 2024 season.

  • Winter CSA: Join us for the sweetest season! Enjoy 8 weeks of seasonal bounty October 29 – December 20 for $235. Weekly shares include greens, root vegetables (carrots, turnips, beets), winter squash, potatoes, onions, leeks, broccoli, cabbages and more. Pick-up at the farm store in North Easton.

Where and when can I pick-up my share?

  • Full Season CSA (Whole & Half Shares) start the week of May 14, 2024. Whole & Half share pickups are available at our farm store in North Easton, Tuesday – Friday, 10am – 6pm.
  • Farm & Market CSA cards will be available for pick up at the farm store starting on Saturday, April 6, 2024. Or, you can come to any of our Farmers Markets (Brookline, Davis Square, Providence (winter only), and Roslindale) during regular Market hours. Your 2024 Farm & Market CSA card is valid through December 22, 2024 and cannot roll over.
  • Tulip CSA, Flower CSA, & Dahlia CSA pick-ups are at our farm in North Easton. You can come pick your bouquet any day we’re open, Tuesday – Sunday (closed Monday), 10am – 6pm.

Do I have to come pick up my produce on the same day every week?

We harvest our crops based partially on our CSA customers for the day so that’s why it’s important for you to try and stick to your chosen pick-up day. That being said, we know that life can get crazy; if you need to switch your day every once in a while, just send us an email to let us know. (Tulip, Flower, and Dahlia CSA members can pick flowers any day we’re open.)

Do you offer substitutions?

There are no substitutions allowed for our Whole and Half share CSAs but very often there are choices (i.e. you can choose kale or spinach, beets or carrots, etc.).

What if I can’t make it to my pickup one week?

Although we don’t allow you to “double up” if you miss a week’s share, please feel free to send a friend or neighbor instead. All missed CSA shares will be donated to the local food pantry.

How long do I have to use my Farm & Market CSA card?

2024 Farm & Market CSA cards expire at the end of our season on December 22, 2024. Any outstanding balances left on your card after that date will be donated to the local food pantry.

Testimonials

“We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience as Langwater Farm CSA members and proud to say we have been supporters since the beginning! This farm is truly a treasure in our community and we feel very fortunate to have it so close to us. For three years now, our family has enjoyed preparing and eating the wide variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs that come across our table on a weekly basis. We are constantly experimenting with new meals and recipes which has made each week a healthy and fun adventure! Their staff is always extremely friendly and knowledgeable and able to give us tips on preparation and recipes if we ever get something in our share that is a new food for us. We thank you for all that you do.”

“I’ve been a member since day one. I had just heard about what a CSA was, so I went online in search of one in my area. This one was just getting started, the next town over, and it was organic to boot, so I thought I’d give a try. It was actually exciting to me! And since that first meet and greet with my new farmers, I’ve been more than impressed with every aspect of this farm. What planning and execution skills these “kids” have. They’ve built a wonderful farmstand that is always a pleasure to come to. Rain or shine. I’m thrilled with the quality of all the fruits and veggies and look forward every week to the friendly faces and warm conversation. I’ve gotten veggies I never even knew existed in my weekly share, and that is such a fun thing to share and experience with friends and family too. I know I’m eating healthier than ever. And the weekly newsletter is great too and always informative. Like I said, I’ve been more than impressed with every aspect and very thankful for my CSA friends at Langwater Farm.”
