Sign up open now!

Enjoy fall's abundance with our 6-week Fall Veggie Box CSA

​

Fall is an incredible time for vegetables and we are expecting to have abundant harvests this fall so we are offering a six-week Fall extension to our CSA!​

​

This is a great way for current CSA customers to continue receiving fresh, organic veggies into the fall. 

​

This is also a great way for new customers to try out the CSA for a short time period to see if it is a good fit for their family. 

​

The details: 

 

Runs from Thursday October 10th until Thursday November 14th. 

​Pickup Thursdays 2pm - 6pm at either:

​​

Bakie Farm or the East Kingston Library 

​

Small share: $135 (value of $22.50/week)

Full share: $200 (value of $33.33/week)


Items that *should* be included in the Fall Veggie CSA Boxes during the six weeks: 

​

  • Salad greens: Lettuce and arugula

  • Cooking greens: Kale, Chard, Tatsoi, Bok Choi, Cabbage, Napa cabbage

  • Sprouting broccoli

  • Roots: Carrots, beets, radishes, baby ginger

  • Aromatics: Onions, garlic, leeks, celery

  • Herbs: Sage, thyme, oregano, parsley

  • Storage crops (bought in from local farms): potatoes, winter squash

  • Summer crops (until a hard frost): Peppers, eggplant

 

You will receive a weekly email with recipe ideas for the items in your box as well as updates about the farm. 


A note about sourcing: Most items in the boxes will continue to be Wild Fern Farm veggies, but we will be buying in a few items to supplement from other local farms. Most bought in items will be certified organic, however we will definitely be buying in winter squash from our partner farm Hungry Heart Farm, which is not certified organic but uses organic practices. 

 

What does CSA Mean? 

 

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.

 

The CSA model was designed with the intention of creating an easy way for community members to directly be involved with and support a local farm. CSA members essentially become investors in a farm, through buying a subscription or "share". In return for their investment, CSA members get a weekly box or share of farm products. CSA members of a farm typically get the royal treatment, getting all of the "firsts" as the season rolls out. The first carrots. The first tomatoes. The first cucumbers. And the Veggie Box CSA is designed to make eating vegetables EASY.

 

Each week of the Veggie Box CSA is curated with easy weekly meal ideas in mind. CSA members get emails from the farm with info about the vegetables that are in their box and easy recipe ideas on how to cook with them.
