The Gardens

Solomon Brook Farm is home to CSA gardens. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture,. Healthy food grown right here at the farm! The gardens are operated by an energetic group of people, called the Abundance Cooperative. Food from the gardens is available for people coming for retreat, courses and workshops

What is a CSA?

​People can buy a share of the farm's yield at the beginning of the season. Each week a box of veggies produced on the farm is available. Starting in January of each year, people can sign up for their share which helps to cover anticipated costs and absorb the initial expenses that happen at the beginning of a season. 

The Purpose of CSA's

CSA's help establish relationship between the food grown and the people who consume it - which is all of us. Purchasing a share means you are purchasing a share of the harvest. You become involved in both the risk and the reward of growing quality, local, healthy produce. By purchasing a share before the produce is available, you share in the risk of not being guaranteed exactly what will be in your box each week, The reward is helping to secure small scale, locally produced quality food. CSA's help to guarantee long term food security. 

The CSA Season

​The CSA runs for 20 weeks, beginning in mid June till the end of October. Depending on weather this can begin or end up to 2 weeks earlier or later.
