2025 Summer CSA Enrollment
We are sold out for 2025. Please join our email newsletter to be the first to find out about our other CSAs We hope to see you at our farm stand and farmers’ market this summer!
We’re excited to open registration for our 2025 Summer CSA program. We offer a limited number of shares, so be sure to sign up soon to secure your spot.
This year you can sign up for our Summer CSA online. You’ll also need to be a Friend of the Farm to apply, so if you’re not already one, you can join by making a small, nonrefundable donation.
Program Details
Dates: The 2024 Summer CSA runs from June 5 to October 17
Cost:
Weekly Share: $850
Alternate Week Share: $460
Pick Up:
Wednesdays & Thursdays from 2–7 pm at the farm.
Can’t make it? No problem – ask a friend or neighbor to pick up your share!
Pick-Your-Own herbs are also available on Saturdays before 3 pm.
Donations: Any unclaimed shares will be donated to a local food pantry.
Alternate week shares
If you find that a weekly share is too much for your household, you can choose an alternate week share. This gives you a full share of produce every other week. Just make sure to choose your preferred start week when you sign up.
Splitting a share
You can also split a share with family, friends, or neighbors. The person who signs up will be listed as the official sharer and will be responsible for payment. Please make sure that either one person picks up the share each week or that both parties pick up together, so you don’t take more than your fair share.
How to Apply
We are sold out for 2025
Register for a CSA share with our online form. You can pay by credit card or by check. To pay by check, select “Pay Later” on the payment screen and mail your check within 7 days of registering. Your registration is not final until payment is received.
We’ll accept applications until all shares are filled, and you don’t need to be a Newton resident to participate.
Important: You must be a current Friend of the Farm to apply for a CSA share. If you’ve donated $50 or more since November 1, 2024, you’re already a member. If not, you can join by making a donation. If you’re not sure if you’re already a Friend of the Farm, please email admin@newtoncommunityfarm.org.
Splitting your payment
If you are registering for a weekly share you can choose to split your payment. That means that you can pay for half of your share now to reserve it ($446.50 plus your Friend of the Farm donation if you aren’t already a member), then pay for the second half before the CSA starts. The second payment is due by May 28th.
What Is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way for you to buy a share of the farm’s harvest in advance. In return, you’ll get fresh, sustainably grown vegetables and herbs each week during the growing season.
Our Summer CSA runs for 20 weeks.
80 shares are available, and you can choose between a weekly share or an alternate week share (pick up every other week).
Signing up for a CSA share helps the farm by covering some of our operating costs early in the season, and you benefit by getting fresh produce straight from the field.
Why Join the CSA?
When you sign up for our CSA, you’re getting fresh, local produce at a great value. CSA members typically save 15-20% compared to our retail prices, and you’ll be supporting sustainable farming practices at the same time.
The CSA is a great way to get a weekly or bi-weekly supply of healthy vegetables and herbs while helping the farm cover its costs for the season.
What’s in a Share?
Here’s some of what you can expect to find in your share over the season:
June: Fresh greens like arugula, spinach, kale, and lettuce along with carrots, broccolini, beets, Hakurei salad turnips, sugar snap peas, and scallions
July: Summer favorites like cucumbers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and basil along with plenty of lettuce.
August and Early September: Lots of tomatoes, corn, peppers, and eggplant along with fresh greens and PYO green beans.
Late September and Early October: Potatoes, winter squash, kale, Swiss chard, and more.
