CSA at Shortt's Farm and Garden
Now accepting 2012 season applicants
First Come - First Serve!
Community Share Agriculture
We do most of the work for you!
Just come to the farm and pick up your share.
We are excited about this year's CSA! Each week we will pack and prepare a diverse
basket of produce for you, with a minimum of five or six different types
of vegetables and fruit. We pick the shares fresh that morning so we do ask that you not arrive before 1pm because we are out in the fields preparing the Farmshares.
CSA runs 14 weeks. Please arrive on the assigned days (after 1PM)
to ensure your food's freshness. The fruits and vegetables in the Farmshares depend on where we are in the growing season.
Full Share = Family of 4 or more
July 11 thru October 10
Pick up every Wednesday after 1PM
$465.00
Half Share = 1 to 2 people
and/or veggie lovers
July 8 thru October 7th
Pick up every Sunday after 1PM
$280.00
We also have a pickup on Saturdays at the New Canaan farmers market anytime between 10am and 2pm.
NOTE: Corn and non-organic fruits.
We do not grow corn as it is nearly impossible to do organically without it being "wormy" so we do add non organic Connecticut Grown non GMO corn to the shares. We also add non organic Connecticut Grown fruit to the shares when in season. Fruit to be included: peaches, nectarines, apples and pears. If you do not wish to have non-organic items in your basket, let us know when you send in your check and we will make up the difference each week with our own organic produce.
All other produce is ceritified organic and raised on our farm.
