CSA 2024
Community Supported Agriculture?
CSA is a production model whereby consumers buy shares of a farm’s harvest in advance. Consumers become CSA members by paying an agreed amount at the beginning of the growing season, either in one lump sum or in installments.
CSAs are a way to strengthen your relationship with your local farmers by providing them with initial capital necessary to grow produce. This makes consumers active participants in the growing process, and creates a relationship of trust and support between farmer and the community they serve.
Farming is a seasonal venture here in Connecticut. While we try to extend the growing season as much as possible through the year, without large infrastructure and heated tunnels, we simply can't produce flowers year round.
By asking you to invest in our farm at the start of the year, we form a partnership with our customers and can offset operational costs when the farm needs it the most. Thank you for considering!
Pickup Days
For CSA pickups on Wednesday, bouquets will be available on our property in our enclosed porch to protect them from weather.
For CSA pickups on Saturdays, bouquets will be located at the Willimantic Farmers Market at our booth, 28 Bridge St, Willimantic, CT.
How it Works
Our bouquets are average market sizes, with anywhere from 15-25 stems.
They will contain a variety of annual, native, and/or foraged flowers to grab your interest.
Color themes will vary, and you will experience the seasonality of different varieties. They will be arranged in a spiral pattern and cut to achieve an aesthetic, rounded look in a vase.
We wrap our bouquets in paper to keep them secure during transport. All flowers are harvested the day of or the day before your pickup, and will be in the freshest state possible.
Some may be partially closed and should open over the next few days, which will give you the longest time to enjoy them.
All bouquets will be the same “recipe” but have slight variation in the flowers themselves. We will provide you with returnable mason jars to transport them home easily in a cup holder.
