Shared Harvest CSA is a winter farm share, which has pickups once/month from late October through February, in Arlington, Canton, JP, Hingham, and Buzzards Bay. You can sign up now, which best helps the farmers (they are planning, buying supplies, and seeding already for those fall crops) and gives you a discount, and the share pickups begin in the fall.
The excellent farms who collaborate for the Shared Harvest winter share each have their own summer shares, delivered to or located in this area. Sign up directly with them.

Planned share contents: dried beans, a variety of root vegetables, butternut squash, onions, garlic, popcorn, tomato puree, spinach, claytonia salad greens, other greens depending upon weather/greenhouse conditions.
The $20 discount will show up on the checkout page. Your spring signup gives the farmers peace of mind. Thank you!
