CSA fruits
Do you offer fruit in your CSA and what types?
We have five acres of blueberries that produce from late June/early July through early August. During their production season you will receive blueberries each week, sometimes more than 1 pint. Some years, we are able to offer a special order of blueberries, at the peak of their production.
Some years, we are also able to pick or purchase fruit from a network of local farmers, and include other fruit in the CSA shares. Not all the fruit we purchase is certified organic, but we do our best to source off-site fruit responsibly. We look first for certified organic, second for fruit grown with organic methods but not certified, and third for fruit grown with some chemicals (peaches, for example, are very hard to find organic) and the methods have to be sustainable and with IPM (Integrated Pest Management) and/or other holistic practices.
