CSA shares sold out for 2024, but farm stand opens in late May!

Hope to see you all at the farm stand in late May for some fresh greens.  Keep and eye out for the sign on Pettigrew, we’ll hang it up when the farm stand is open.


CSA shares available for 2024 season!

post by: Debbie Fields February 14, 2024

For the 2024 season Fields Farm is offering a 22-week CSA subscription, which includes 5-6 items per week (and sometimes more!), from late May through October.  Pickup of your CSA share will be available on Wednesday mornings by 11am at the farm on Pettigrew Rd.  Our anticipated start date is 5/22/24 (depending on weather and other factors) and goes until 10/30/24.  This is technically 24 weeks–we will be taking two weeks off from CSA harvest and pickup during this season, and those dates are TBD.

Examples of what you’ll find throughout the season, based on previous years (not a comprehensive list):
Early season (May-June): Lettuce, spinach, arugula, Asian greens, rhubarb, radishes, broccoli, carrots, bok choi, cilantro, mint, kale.
Mid season (July-August): items listed above plus potatoes, garlic scapes, beets, summer squash, bush beans, cabbage, cucumber, chard, eggplant, tomatoes, bell peppers, basil.
Late season (Sept-Oct): everything above plus onions, garlic, leeks, brussels sprouts, corn, cauliflower, celery.

We try to keep variety a priority each week; usually in the early season it’s a lot of greens, but by September you may find it hard to eat everything by the time the next pickup occurs!  Cost of the CSA share is $550; cash and check are the preferred forms of payment, but if you’d like to pay by Venmo we ask for an additional $20 to cover the fees charged to us by that service.  Full payment will secure your share for the season!  Thanks for taking part in the farm’s seasonality and success!
NEW FOR 2024 SEASON: for all CSA related inquiries, questions, etc, please email Jeremy at fieldsfarmcsa@gmail.com.  This is the new email address used to communicate about the CSA, as well as to receive the weekly email letting you know the shares are ready for pickup.

Last Day!
