What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. In short, it is a food subscription model. CSAs prioritize a season-long relationship to local families and households. Traditionally, this has often taken the form of a “share”: a family or household purchases a “share” or season-long subscription of the farm produce at the beginning of the growing season, and then receives in-season bounty throughout the harvest season, typically on a weekly basis and enough to cover most/all of their vegetable needs for a week. This is the model we use at Branch Hill Farm.
Our Neighbors Love CSA Shares for Many Reasons:
- Top quality produce
- Makes menu planning easier - just cook what you receive!
- "Feels like Christmas every week."
- Weekly email with farm stories and recipes
- Sense of community - opportunities to contribute to the farm and hang out with my neighbors
Our Veggie CSA: Grown by Youth at Branch Hill Farm
Our CSA is unique in that your incredible produce is grown by local teens! The Paid Teen Apprenticeship Program at Branch Hill Farm welcomes teens aged 15-18 onto the farm for the educational work opportunity of a lifetime. Under the guidance of experienced farmers and mentors, teen apprentices are entrusted with the real-life task of running a CSA farm, while also gaining invaluable skills they take with them wherever they go in life.
To learn more about the Teen Apprenticeship Program, please contact brianna_arnold@branchhillfarm.org
What are our growing practices?
We are Certified Naturally Grown. Our produce and seedlings are the freshest, highest quality around, and raised without harmful chemicals. No pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers. We utilize “no-till” practices on our tiny farm and use only organic inputs: this means life has the chance to THRIVE in our soil.
We also are committed to expanding our regenerative practices. For example, we have been planting more edible perennials and pollinator-friendly plants in and around the gardens as well as constantly looking for ways to reduce food waste and plastic use in our production systems. We also make some of our own compost and source supplemental compost locally from Diggers Cooperative in Acton, Maine.
We’re always happy to answer any questions you have about our growing practices and welcome you to schedule a visit to see our gardens if you like.
