What's a Farm Share?
You may have heard of a vegetable box or farm share before. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and it means community members get together to invest in a farm during the winter or early Spring and then when the harvest season rolls out, they pick up a weekly package of vegetables at a designated pick-up location.
Pickup at Darien Library
In 2024, Darien Library will once again be the pickup location for Stoneledge Farm's CSA. The farm share pickup will be every Wednesday evening from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. running from June 12th until November 6th, 2024 (23 weeks).
Volunteers will distribute the food to CSA members during pick-up. The veggies and shares will be boxed up in reusable waxy-coated boxes.
To take part, sign up for a vegetable share. Then you can add a fruit, mushroom, and/or coffee share to your order, too.
