CSA share renewals and sign-ups for the 2024 Main Season are now open!
We would love to welcome you and your family to enjoy a share in our harvest season, which runs for 22 weeks, from June through October. Once you join our CSA, you will be provided with your own Natural Roots canvas tote bag to fill with your selection of freshly picked and washed vegetables.
We offer Full-Time shares, flexible Part-Time shares (by which folks can come any 10 weeks out of the 22 week season) and Winter shares, as well as Gift Cards, which can be pre-loaded to use toward vegetable purchases and any other items in our farm store, giving the shopper even more flexibility.
The basis of a CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, is to build and strengthen the relationship between farms and their communities. Members "invest" in their local farm at the beginning of the season, providing much needed capitol for the farmer to purchase seeds, equiptment, etc... in exchage for a share of the crops once they are grown and harvested. It is also a commitment to share in the inherent risks and rewards of farming, and an opportunity to connect with your food, the people who grow it, and the likeminded community who support our farm so wholeheartedly each year!
Main Season CSA pick-ups begin the first or second week of June each year
Distribution hours during the Main Season are:
Tuesdays 3:00-6:30pm (Cancelled for the 2023 season)
Friday's 3:00-6:30pm
Please see the Main Season Share Options page for details on what the CSA share options are at Natural Roots.
Please see the Winter Share Options page for details on the Winter CSA share.
We do offer low income shares to those who are eligible - An additional application is required to determine eligibility. The cost of these low-income shares can be fully covered by Massachusetts’ SNAP / HIP programs, making them more accessible than ever to low-income shareholders. They can also be paid for in installments for those who do not have SNAP funds. If you would like to apply for a low income share, please indicate this when you sign up, and we will provide you with the supplemental applicaton to apply for one!
"Your farm is beautiful in every way. From the idyllic setting to the spectacular views; the animals; the gorgeous produce, of course; and most of all, the deep integrity of your intention."
