| Enterprise Farm
Enterprise Farm offers seasonal and year round farm shares. The Local Season runs from June to November, the East Coast Season from December to May. Members can sign up for a season or the whole year. Pick up is Tuesdays at the farm from 2-6 pm. Northampton residents can have their share delivered by the Pedal People for an addition fee. Shares are also available in the greater Boston area, the North Shore and New Hampshire. Offering a mix of local and east coast grown fruits, citrus and vegetables, the East Coast Share is a great way to support a local farm all year. Members will receive local storage crops (potatoes, apples, onions, carrots, rutabagas, beets, ect.) as well as greenhouse grown salad mixes, greens, and herbs. Complementary to the local produce, we work with organic farms from PEI, Canada to southern Florida to round out the shares with tree-ripened citrus, avocados, green beans, peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, fresh lettuce and cooking greens, eggplant, zucchini, herbs and more. Enterprise Farm grows 80 acres of certified organic vegetables. In addition to the mix grown on the farm, members will receive additional items from partner farms in the neighborhood to round out the selection. Included in the cost of the local share is our Pick Your Own Garden featuring a bounty of herbs, tomatoes, peppers, melons, strawberries, our world famous flowers, and a Pizza shaped Kids Garden (complete with a sandbox full of toy tractors for kids of all ages). Our Member-only Buying Club also offers great deals bulk produce, local goods and more. The Food Shed, our farm store, featuring organic produce, meats, cheese, honey and other specialty products, is open during pick up as well as on Saturdays mornings 9am-2pm from November until May. Becoming part of the Enterprise Farm CSA supports our Food Justice Initiative. We believe that farm-fresh organic food is a right, not a privilege.

| Good Bunch Farm
Pick-up: Tuesdays 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm. Pick-up is at the farm stand, 137 Beldingville Road in Ashfield. CSA runs from Tuesday June 4th to Tuesday October 15th; a total of 20 weeks. Cost and Sizes: Shares cost $400 for the season. We are offering one size share: a generous 3/4 bushel box, with some bulkier items available outside the box. Most of the share will be pre-packed, but we will offer some items available as free choice too. This should be sufficient to provide enough fresh vegetable for a family of 2-4 for a week. Shares will average at least $20 of produce a week for 20 weeks. Payment: If you would like a CSA share from Good Bunch Farm, please send a $100 deposit and your name, number, and email to: Good Bunch Farm P.O. Box 16 Ashfield, MA 01330 Full Payment is expected by first pick-up day on June 4th. What to Expect in your box: Each week we will provide a generous and balanced box of vegetables. We strive for consistency of availability with our vegetables with a careful planting schedule. With our greenhouses we hope to have tomatoes and other warm season vegetables available for a longer season. Nothing of course is guaranteed because every season offers different challenges, as a member of the farm you take on the risk of crop failure. |

| Goldthread Organic Herb Farm & Apothecary
Community Supported Medicine Shares Inspired by the model of Community Supported Agriculture, Goldthread offers herbs, spices, and herbal products organically grown on our farm directly to our members. The shares contain herbs and remedies for a host of commonly encountered conditions such as colds, flus, sore throats, coughs, digestive issues, sleep improvement, skin conditions, children’s health, and more. When you purchase a share, it helps support the work we do growing and processing the herbs into useful natural medicines that nourish the body and enhance vitality. In return, you will receive a variety of herbs that support good health and the health of the environment, while also preserving the agricultural character of our wonderful community. This year, shares will be divided into three separate pickup dates throughout the growing season in August, September, and October. During the scheduled pickup at the farm in Conway, members will be encouraged to meet the plants that comprise their share and there will be a short educational session about how best to use the herbs provided in that month's share. Also, beginning this year we are tailoring each share to take advantage of what the season brings at the farm (different from previous years where there was a choice structure and only one pick-up.) Share sizes o Large enough for a family of 3-4, or to share among a group of friends. ($250) o Suitable for an individual or a family just beginning to learn about herbs and spices. ($150) Call 413-587-0620 for more information and to order your share. |

What is CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture, often shortened to CSA, is a prepaid subscription to a farm's produce for the season. Most CSAs give shareholders a weekly supply of veggies, herbs, fruits and sometimes even eggs and meat. You know it's fresh and you get to meet the farm and people who grew your food! The prepaid CSA arrangements also makes it a source of financial security for the farmer. Some CSAs also incorporate farm workdays for shareholders. Pickup days vary by farm and some offer pickups in Providence.CSAs have been very popular recently. Be sure to sign up early before subscriptions are filled!
