It’s time
to get serious about where your local produce will be coming from this growing season! A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share allows you to pre-purchase a season’s worth of weekly farm product distributions, some beginning as early as April. Buying a CSA share means you’ve got your source locked in. Farmers will supply their CSA shareholders first and many are making their CSAs the central focus of their business because the farmers’ markets they’ve attended are curtailing or cancelling their seasons this year. Buying a share now gives your farmer the financial resources they need to grow at maximum capacity this season. CSA formats differ. Some farms offer full or half share options. A CSA share might include only that farm’s produce, or also include (their own or other CT-grown or made) honey, eggs, cheese, pickles, jams, meat, herbs, bread and even flowers and beer! Most CSAs have a weekly pickup, so be sure to select one that offers a location convenient for you. Here’s a list of farms with CSA shares still available (organized by county), click through for details on each. Sales are very brisk this year, please act quickly!
