As a mixed vegetable CSA farm, we grow over fifty different crops for weekly distribution to our share-members throughout the harvest season, from June through October. Members have the opportunity each week to choose from an abundant variety of fresh, seasonal produce. While the share size increases in volume and diversity as the season progresses, a share typically comprises 1-2 grocery bags and is intended to feed 3-5 people. Included below is a list of the crops that you can expect to find in your share throughout the stages of the season.

The cost of the share is on a sliding scale from $495 to $595. Members can pay up front or choose a payment schedule. Folks may share a CSA share between two households by either coming together or alternating pick up weeks. We do accept EBT/Food stamps for farm shares - please contact us for more info.

The share barn is where it all happens. This is where you as a member come once a week to pick out your share. What crops are available and the quantities you receive will be posted on easy to read chalkboards; the farmers will be there if you have any questions. The farm shop is easy to navigate, kid friendly, and a great place to share recipes with other members. The share barn and pick-your-own field are located at 15 Lawrence Plain Rd., about 1/3rd of a mile past the Food Bank Farm heading south on route 47 in Hadley.

The hours and days of pickup are Monday and Wednesday from 2pm-7pm and Friday from 12-4pm.

This season we plan to offer several locally sourced items including cheese, fruit, eggs, honey, milk, bread, and yogurt for sale in the share-barn.

Next Barn Over CSA members can also expect to enjoy: a biweekly newsletter full of recipes, farm news and sustainable agriculture information; opportunities to purchase bulk produce at discount prices for canning and freezing; the opportunity to volunteer on the farm; invitations to farm events such as potlucks and film screenings; and daily recreational access to the farm for walking, picnicking, and "you-picking".
