Summer CSA 2025 sign ups are open! This link will bring you to the sign up sheet!
We are again offering a summer CSA share during the months of July and August for the 2025 season! We are only offering a small number of shares —so sign up soon. This share is separate from the traditional fall CSA share, which will also be available for the 2025 season.
When?
Produce pick-ups are once a week between 3 and 6 p.m. on Thursdays. In the summer for eight weeks (Jul & Aug) and in the fall for twelve weeks (Sept - Nov).
Where?
Produce is picked up at the CSA barn at the Hampshire Farm.
How?
To become a member, all you need to do is buy a share.
How much?
This year, we are again offering the Hampshire Vegetable CSAs on a sliding scale. Please refer to this graphic that explains how to figure out where you might fall on the sliding scale. In addition, below is a way to think about the sliding scale in terms of groceries.
The point of a sliding scale is to increase access for all. Those who are able to afford to spend more on a share, help subsidize those who aren’t able to afford the base cost, and therefore more people are able to access our beautiful, fresh, healthy Hampshire vegetables!
When deciding on your share price, a good point of reference may be thinking about how you purchase food on a weekly basis:
- Do you struggle to pay for both groceries and other basic necessities such as rent and utilities? Is it often too expensive to buy fresh vegetables? The low level share might be right for you.
- Do you budget for your groceries, yet are able to get the food items you want each week? The base level share might be right for you.
- Are you able to buy groceries without having to think about the cost much, including fresh vegetables, special treats, and going out to eat? The high level share might be right for you.
Summer Share: An eight week summer share costs between $192 - $368.
