Colchester Farm
Community Supported Agriculture Project (CSA)
Twenty-two weeks of pesticide-free, locally-grown vegetables
May-October 2008
 
WELCOME TO OUR SIXTH SEASON. And thank you to the CSA Core Group who helped make it possible!

Again this year we are providing fresh, local, organically-grown vegetables to Kent, Cecil and Queen Anne's County residents. We plan to increase our membership to about 150 members (we had 122 members last year) and are actively accepting memberships for the 2008 season. If you are interested in trying out our CSA, we still have a few spaces open. Please call if you are interested in signing up for 2008.



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.

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 2008: a small share for $260, as well as our medium for $375 and our large for $560.

We have been forced to increase the share prices in order to meet the costs of operating the CSA. 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.
