As the weather gets warm it’s time to plan for the summer season when Vermont has its most diverse local food offerings.
Subscribing to Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become an important part of summer planning for many of us. CSA’s around Vermont offer their members a share of the summer’s harvest, delivered regularly to a central pick up location. Shares can include anything from vegetables to flowers to a diverse array of local groceries. Purchasing these shares saves you money off the retail price and gives farmers the capital they need to start the growing season out on the right foot.
Use the “Buy” link on our website to explore options in your region. Some programs, like Farm Share at the Northeast Organic Farming Association, help low income and elderly Vermonters access CSA’s offered by their partner farms.
CSA shares are a convenient way to explore the fresh foods that our state offers. So plan for your summer menus with a subscription today.
Farmers with a CSA can order our new price cards with health facts for 30 produce items. Get them free of charge from our order form by clicking here.
