What is a farmshare or CSA and why do I want one?

CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture.” The purpose of a CSA or farm share is twofold:

  1. As the name suggests, the purchase of a share before the growing season starts, supports the farm financially so they are able to buy important items like seeds, materials and even infrastructure. It quite literally helps support the farm. In a case like ours, we are a regenerative farm so it can also be about supporting a TYPE of agricultural practice you believe in, by supporting a farm that uses those practices.
  2. Purchasing a share before the season, also means a discount for the buyer. Farms who sell shares, now have a guaranteed sale and are able to save money by not having to go to market with those items. This means they are able to pass the discount on to the customer.

Why we use this model

Farming is a LOT of work. The majority of this work is done solely by Lindsey, including planning (SO much planning!), sowing, planting, harvesting, packing and marketing. She also does all the baking and helps care for the animals (and our human kids). Matthew works full time and does most of the larger infrastructure work, as well as the orchard planning, planting and management.

Simply put, we are very busy people and there are only 2 of us! By selling shares for what we grow and raise ahead of time, we are able to put our energy into the actual farm work that needs to be done, and grow only what we need to fill our shares. This cuts down on waste, precious growing space and most importantly, our time!

Picking Up Your Shares

We will be open for pick-up on Saturdays, from 12:00 pm–5:00 pm.

243 Allen Road
Belchertown, MA
413-324-8488

Some shares are packed in wooden boxes, jars, etc. We ask that each week, when you come to pick up your packed share, you leave your empty box, etc. from the week prior for us to fill for your next share. You will get to keep one of the custom containers at end of the year!

*If you forget your container to swap, we ask that you place your items in a bag, or take a recyclable container we have available, and leave your container behind for the following week’s share.

Our COVID Policy

We follow all local, state and federal guidelines for farm practices during the COVID pandemic. All produce is picked, packaged and stored while wearing masks and gloves. We aim for 100% contactless pick-up, and will even do curb-side pick up if pre-arranged. We are available for in person transactions or questions, following masked guidelines.

Classes and Thank-You Dinners will either be held outdoors while masked or virtually until it is safe to do so otherwise.

Farm Share FAQ

The market garden shed is set up to be completely contactless. You will come to the farm on Saturday, and take your marked box from the fridge. All additional items you ordered, like maple syrup or soap, will be available on an adjacent table marked with your name.

We will pack and have ready all your shares for when you come see us at the farm.

If you can’t leave your car, we are more than happy to walk your order over to you and put it in your car! Simply call the farm number and we will bring it right over.

Payments can be made in person at the market garden with some notice. Please call the farm ahead of your pick-up day to schedule payment time.

Any available mid season shares available will be posted in the online store at a pro-rated rate.

Any quarterly CSA payments not paid 2 months past due will result in a cancelation of the share. You will still be able to purchase available produce in our online store, but will not longer receive you’re share boxes or any other benefits associated with it.
