A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a commitment between farmers and community members where both share the risks and the benefits of local food production. Members pledge their support by making a payment at the beginning of the season, when the bulk of farm expenditures occur. In exchange, each member receives a weekly share of the season's harvest and the opportunity to be part of sustainable food practices on MDI.
The Autumn Share for $299, will include salad greens, cooking greens, root vegetables, squash, onions, herbs and other vegetables. Here are a few you will see…
• Salad Greens: Lettuce Mix, Spinach, Bok Choi
• Cooking Greens: Chard, Chinese Cabbage, Kale, Spinach
• Root Vegetables: Beets, Carrots, Potatoes, Radishes, Rutabagas, Turnips
• Onions: Scallions, Garlic, Leeks, Shallots
• Other Vegetables: Tomatoes, Cabbage, Brussel Sprouts, Winter Squash
• Herbs: Cilantro, Dill, Parsley
• ...and a few surprises
Many of these vegetables will keep in long-term storage. Participants will also have access to bulk vegetables at wholesale prices. Stock up for the winter.
Reduced priced shares are available to households that qualify for SNAP benefits. Contact us directly for details.

“I love Friday afternoons in the summer, when I pick up delicious fresh vegetables for the coming week and pick beautiful flowers from the garden at the farm. It’s fun taking our grandchildren to pick-ups and to help us work on the farm. They are as enthusiastic as we are about eating the vegetables!”
