Enjoy Fresh Winter Vegetables in Nov. and Dec. through Our Winter CSA
At Snipes Farm, we continue to grow, harvest and distribute vegetables all through the winter months, which can be purchased at our Saturday Farm Market or through our CSA program.
What’s a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It’s a long-standing partnership between a community farm like ours and the local people who wish to support our practice of sustainable, organic farming by making regular, pre-paid pickups of our produce.
Traditional Share — A CSA traditional share is essentially a weekly share of vegetables grown on the farm. You pay a set price for the season, then pick up a bag of freshly harvested veggies every week on a Thursday or Saturday.
As our warm weather CSA comes to an end, we offer a shorter CSA season in November and December. Here’s how it works:
