Why Join a CSA? First and foremost, you build a relationship with a real person who works hard to bring you fresh produce every week; You save gas by not flying in your produce from California (or other countries), you keep a small farmer in business, you help keep land undeveloped, and you keep toxic chemicals off the land by supporting organic farming. You also got to see the face of your food and eat a variety of fresh, local, organic produce!
Know your farmer. Know your food.
Did you know that John spends over $30,000 on seeds each year? When we pay ahead of the season, John can pay for his seeds without having to pay interest on his credit card bills.

You can put down a non-refundable deposit of $200 to save your share. If you have extenuating circumstances and need to work out a payment plan we can work with you.
Email westfieldcsa@gmail.com for more information or click here to download an application form.
As before, you can split a share with someone else. If you need help finding someone to split with, let us know and we will pair you up as I get requests!
Returning members will be guaranteed a spot in the CSA if registered by Feb 6. After that registration is first come, first served.
