"The orientation of agriculture to local needs, local possibilities, and local limits is simply indispensable to the health of both land and people." Wendell Berry
The consumer-based movement of Community Supported Agriculture started in California and has been taking hold in the US for the last decade.
The purpose is to provide fresh organic produce directly to you, the consumer.
There are two basic options for membership:
• Farm Box Program
• Associate Memberhsip
As a member of the farm, you will be securing a food source close to home and providing the long-term care of agricultural land and open space in Southeastern Mass.
Most farmers’ highest production costs occur during the spring months. For this reason, most membership farms request their funding in the early spring. This allows us to avoid costly loans from the bank and also allows for planning for the coming year.
Note: Farm Box Memberships for 2010 are Sold Out
We still have Associate Membership openings for 2010 but space is limited. Please contact us regarding Membership and other opportunities to become involved with Colchester Farm. |
