Again this year we are providing locally-grown, fresh vegetables to Kent, Cecil and Queen Anne's County residents. We are aiming to maintain our membership at around 150 members, and we still have memberships available for the 2009 season.

Our Mission, Vision and Values

What do we grow?
Available this season are flowers, herbs and a wide a variety of vegetables, ranging from basil and brussel sprouts to turnips and zucchini, with carrots and green beans and snow peas in between.
Click here to see a list of what we plan on growing this year.
And remember, vegetables are available seasonally and may not be available at all if the crop fails due to pest, disease, or drought pressures. Check out this table to get an idea of when certain vegetables may be available during the growing season.

Share Sizes
We have three share sizes again in 2009: a small share (5 units) for $275, as well as our medium (8 units) for $400 and our large (14 units) for $600.

Each week, depending on which size you purchase, you will receive 5, 8 or 14 units of vegetables. If you choose to come to the farm or to the Kingstown Garden Center pick-up locations you get to choose which vegetables you take home with you. Some examples of a unit of vegetables include a head of lettuce, a bunch of carrots, radishes, or beets, a pound of peas or green beans, 2 pints of cherry tomatoes, a bunch of kale or swiss chard, 2 or 3 eggplants, 2 heads of broccoli, a head of cabbage.

Returning members will receive a $15 discount; everyone who signs up by the end of March also gets a $15 discount.

Pick-up and Delivery Options
Vegetables will be available for pick-up fresh once a week for 22 weeks, May to October. Click for details.

Colchester Farm, in Kent County Maryland, has established a CSA serving Cecil, Kent, and Queen Anne's County from May through October. This is our sixth year in operation. We look forward to many more.

For a one-time fee paid this winter you get vegetables delivered weekly for 22 weeks all summer long. Farm pickup and drop-off locations in Kent and Queen Anne's County.

This fee will buy you one week's Share of the freshest, best tasting, pesticide free, sustainably-produced vegetables available anywhere.

The large, or full, share is enough for a family of four or larger. A medium, or half, share is large enough for two adults. The size of the Shares may vary somewhat from week to week, being abundant some weeks and smaller others.
