Membership Agreement: As a member of Molly’s Island Garden Community Supported Agriculture Program I understand that my share payment does not guarantee me an exact amount of produce.  I am making a commitment to support local farmers and to share in the rewards and the risks of the growing season.  I also understand that if I am out of town or unable to pick up my share at any time during the season, I am responsible for contacting a friend or neighbor to gather my vegetables (If I cannot pick up my produce, I will call or e-mail my farmers at least two days prior to pick-up day and ask that my share of the weekly harvest be either spread among the other members or donated).

Molly’s Island Garden CSA

Join us for our 18th CSA Season!

Certified Organic for 14 years

Join our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, and each week, you’ll come to the farm and pick up a selection of fresh, organic vegetables. 

An early Spring basket may include: Spinach, Green Onions, Bok Choi, Red Oakleaf Lettuce, Romaine Lettuce, Radishes, Cilantro & Sugar Snap Peas.

By Midsummer you’ll see: Broccoli, Carrots, Cherry Tomatoes, Onions, Cucumbers, Berries, Basil, Garlic, Beets, Leaf Lettuce, and Summer Squash.

In the Fall your basket may hold: Green Beans, Kale, Heirloom Tomatoes, Leeks, Potatoes, Garlic, Sweet Peppers, Winter Squash and Apples.

We grow over 100 varieties of vegetables to ensure that you have a varied share each week. Our weekly newsletter includes a recipe for the featured vegetable.  Have a favorite veggie?  Let us know when you sign up, and we’ll do our best to grow it for you.  We try to have a lot of everyone’s favorites (broccoli, carrots, spinach, tomatoes, lettuce) as well as the more exotic flavors like arugula and celeriac.

Choose either Tuesday or Thursday evening (5:00-6:30 PM) to pick up your vegetables; bring your own basket or bag to fill with a selection of seasonal vegetables.  One or more of your farmers will be on hand to answer questions, suggest recipes, or tell you more about how we grow your vegetables. 

Want to be more involved? Join the harvest for our annual potato dig, or celebrate the solstice with an on-farm potluck.  Drop in during scheduled volunteer work times and learn more about the planting, weeding and harvesting that nurtures our food.

 How to Subscribe:
We offer three CSA seasons: Early Spring (5 weeks), main season (20 weeks) and Late Fall (5 weeks).  Early spring and late fall are limited to 15 shares, so sign up early!  Depending on weather and crop yields, we may increase the number of late fall shares; we’ll know by September.  

We’re trying two share sizes in the 2012 season: the large share, $25/week, will feed 2-4 people; each week you’ll receive between 9-11 different veggies, herbs, and occasional fruit.  The small share, $15/week, will feed 1-2 people, with 5-7 items a week.  Because of the two share size options, we ask that each household purchase their own share rather than splitting shares. 

By signing up for our 2012 CSA, you allow your farmers to plan ahead for the spring; your deposits will be put towards buying the seeds, soil amendments, and other supplies that your farmers must gather and sow long before the first vegetables are harvested.

For those with more time and less money, we also have a limited number of work trade shares available – contact us for more information if you are interested.  We are committed to feeding our community healthy, local, organic food, so we hope to be able to accommodate all interested work traders’ abilities.
