After a relaxing Thanksgiving break Lise and Melissa are hard at work on plans for the 2022 season and we hope you will join us! New CSA memberships are now open for sign-ups. You may reserve your 2022 CSA membership by paying a deposit (with the remainder due April 15th, 2022) or with payment in full. All membership payments are now online with no transaction fee. There is a separate website for returning 2021 CSA members. Please email Melissa if you are a returning member and would like the link re-sent to you.
For 2022 we will be offering three CSA membership options (Main, Flex and Extended) as well as Pick-Your-Own Flower CSA and Barrett’s Bucks memberships. Stand-alone 2022 Barrett’s Bucks memberships are not yet available (they will open in January, 2022). However, Barrett’s Bucks may be purchased in addition to CSA memberships at the time of the CSA purchase (2022 CSA memberships do not include any Bucks). As always, our farm store will also be open to the public in 2022 with no membership required. CSA options and prices for new CSA members are listed below. Additional information is available on our CSA page and we also answer some common questions here.
