Boulder Knoll Community Farm CSA has a CSA season that runs from June 9 until October 20, 2012.
CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture.” It’s a simple arrangement where you purchase a ‘share’ of produce from a farm. In return, farm ‘members’ receive seasonal produce on a regular basis.
Our CSA members pick up produce at the farm every other week on Saturdays between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. Each CSA member receives 10 “baskets” of produce over the course of the season.
Join Our CSA
Priority registration for the 2012 CSA season will begin on February 1 for supporting members of Friends of Boulder Knoll. On February 15, registration begins for members of the 2011 CSA as well as those who were on the 2011 CSA waiting list. On March 1, any remaining shares will be made available to the public.
Our Harvest
The farm will offer a wide variety of useful, flavorful vegetables and herbs lovingly grown with attention to soil health and biodiversity. Fruit grown by a local farm will be included as part of this year’s share. Pick your own flowers, strawberries, and autumn olive berries will be available. Members are offered the opportunity to glean from the garden at the end of the season.
Share prices
A regular 12-hour work share costs $375. A limited number of non-working shares are available for $500. We also offer a small number of work-intensive shares by interview with the farmer. The 60-hour work intensive shares costs $100, and the 30-hour work intensive shares cost $225.
One half of a member’s payment must be made upon registration, with the remaining half due by May 1.
Work Requirements
Part of our mission is to educate folks about sustainable agricultural practices, the natural environment and responsible uses of open space. We believe that asking members for a modest amount of work on the farm is one manifestation of this goal. Regular working members are asked to put in 12 hours of work over the course of the season.
