Our 2024 CSA is currently full, but there is a good chance that more shares will become available for this year. Please fill out this form to be included on our waitlist. I’ll keep you posted on availability. Thank you!

Here are some photos of a CSA pick up from early October, 2021. The first photo is an example of what a full share could have chosen, minus the butternut I forgot to include. CSA members generally have a choice within categories. For example, on this day a full share would have chosen four items from a choice of carrots, beets, celeriac, radish, turnips, and daikon. The rest of these photos show what was available in the CSA pickup shed on that day. It was a bountiful fall!

More images from 2021. It was a great year in the pick-your-own garden. The zinnias loved all that rain, and were as tall as me by the end of the season.

Wow! February 7, and the CSA is full for 2021. Looks like local ag sure has caught on! Please fill out this form if you’d like to be added to the wait list, and/or be notified for the 2022 CSA. There is a chance spots could open up for this year’s CSA, and at the least you could be notified when next year’s CSA sign up opens. Filling out the form also helps me assess demand, so I can plan for appropriate growth in 2022.

Taste of Mansfield has a listing of CSAs in our area, and you can find us at the Storrs Farmers Market throughout the year.

Thank you!

Reading through last year’s CSA info, reflecting, editing, and updating for this year, can I just say, holy moly, what a year it was! In addition to the intense turmoil throughout the world, 2020 was one of the more challenging growing seasons on record. Regionally, we managed through severe drought and extreme heat, while on the farm we navigated damaging hail and destructive winds, unusually high levels of insect pests, and an extended power outage. As wells ran dry and soil temps were literally too high for some crops to germinate, our diversity of available crops was affected for a few weeks, but there was always abundance. It was a bumper crop year for strawberries, we had gorgeous lettuces for most of the season, the cucumbers, zucchini, and summer squash did a great job, carrots and beets were lovely, and the dry weather yielded some of the tastiest paste tomatoes we’ve grown. All told, 2020 was a successful harvest season, and I look forward to sharing another fruitful season with you.

We are also at the Storrs Farmers Market. I expect to start having a good diversity of veggies in late May or so. Thank you!

Good morning! It’s a beautiful sunny morning, and I’m watching the birds from the couch with my coffee. I haven’t seen our winter friends the juncos in a few days, and it seems that most of our summer residents are back and feeling feisty. There is a female cardinal right outside the window, eating the remains of some barberry berries (not the invasive type!) and I can clearly hear the bluejays and crows even with the windows closed.

For real. As I write this, it’s mid-January. With the mild winter we’ve been having, we were able to hold some carrots in the field. I dug the last of them about two weeks ago, and have been sending increasingly large containers of them to school with my middle school son. He eats them during class, and ends up feeding his classmates, who clean him out in minutes. That’s one of the best testaments to high quality produce I can imagine.

Our CSA is full for the full season. If you’re interested in joining for the fall, please find info here and membership forms.  Thank you!
