About Shared Harvest

Shared Harvest CSA was founded and operated since 2007 as a multiple farm Winter CSA, connecting local, small-scale farmers with people who wish to eat well while supporting local family farms.

Our passion has always been supporting small-scale, conscientious growers in our regional food-shed.  We chose to buy whole, nutritious food from growers and producers whose work is responsibly taking care of the land and their families and communities.  Good land management means healthy soil which means more nutritious, tastier food with lasting quality!

Shared Harvest is now on (permanent?) hiatus as a business entity and CSA.  Much of the membership and vital connection to cold season local organic farm shares and locally produced food has been integrated into the year-round growing and distribution networks of Riverland Farm (primary grower, producer, share curator), Wright-Locke Farm and Bay End Farm (pickup site hosts and distribution coordinators).

Thanks to all who have built this and are carrying it forward!

The Shared Harvest CSA project, founded originally by Gretta Anderson in 2007, has featured primary vegetable growers Picadilly Farm and Riverland Farm, both certified organic. For almost all of those years, Cider Hill Farm grew and provided our apples and Charley Baer provided dried beans for our shares.  As part of our monthly distributions, members pre-ordered Extras like cheese, eggs, honey, maple syrup, meats from pasture-raised animals, single bags of potatoes, carrots, bulk bags of garlic, cranberries, and much more, all from local family farms, most of who grow certified organic.  Many of these Extras are also available for sale on our pickup days.
