Know where your food is grown! As a NOFA-VT farm we do not use any genetically engineered seeds, harmful pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides that damage your health and the environment. Reduce packaging, distribution and transportation waste! Lessen your carbon footprint! Broaden your food horizons by sampling some unusual varieties with recipes which we gladly share, and increase your dinning enjoyment. Support a local family farm, that, in turn, supports other local businesses and labor, while practicing healthy land stewardship and ensuring clean green space in Vermont. Learn about how your food is grown by visiting the farm and build a healthy new link to your community. Support the Jay Area Food Shelf and the Troy Area Senior Meal Site through the Vermont Farm Share Program - fresh, local, organic food for those who need it most! Ask us about this program. How Does a CSA Work? In essence the purchase of a farm "Share" gives the consumer fresh local produce all season long. By commiting to buy the vegetables, the consumer receives delicious, freshly picked, local produce at below the retail cost and the farmer reduces the time and money spent on marketing during the season and receives more of the actual food dollar. The consumer also caries some risk with the farmer, but also benefits. For example, if pollination is poor in the squash field, there will be no or few squash, but another crop will be more bountiful. A "Share" is basically like a magazine subscription in that you pay up front (March) and then when the vegetables and strawberries are ripe, they are harvested, cleaned, and delivered the same day each week, which guarantees the share members the finest quality available! Berry Creek Farm's CSA Pick-up of vegetables happens at Berry Creek Farm's Farm Stand or at Newport Natural Food on Main Street in Newport, Vermont once a week in the afternoon from late June through October. Members who pick-up at Newport receive a pre-packed box of vegetables. Those members who pick-up at the farm shop at the farm stand and receive a 20% reduction on their tab. Members shopping at the farmstand may apply this discount towards all of our farmstand products including organic bread, yogurt, cheese, eggs, flowers, jams, honey, plants, and maple syrup. We plant our seeds according to our membership size. Over 50 vegetable and fruit varieties offered! Included in the membership is the ability to pick-your-own green beans at no extra cost (please see sign-up form). We also offer a newsletter and recipes to our members and will hold a harvest pot luck dinner at the farm. Berry Creek Farm CSA Members may sign-up for other options including organic chicken, turkey, pork, and beef at an additional cost (please see sign-up form). Members may visit the farm at any time during farm stand hours for a tour, picnic, or hike! ![]()
