Local Harvest CSA

We are a cooperative of New Hampshire organic farmers and producers entering our sixth year of providing our share-members with organic foods fresh from our New Hampshire farms.

With Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), you pay the farmer in advance of the growing season for a share in the farm's harvest. This gives local farmers additional resources to pay for seeds, greenhouse supplies, heat & labor early in the season.

In return, you receive a steady supply of high-quality, locally grown, seasonally fresh food from June through October, at an affordable price. You know where your food comes from, you know who grows it, and you may visit our farms

But more happens:

• You nurture the environment by purchasing from farms that use organic practices which protect New Hampshire's natural resources
• You support the local economy and preserve open space by keeping agricultural dollars in New Hampshire and keeping local farms in business
• You conserve energy and promote sustainable agriculture by consuming food grown nearly in your own neighborhood

There are about 1,000 CSAs in the United States, with over a dozen New Hampshire communities already participating.

Our farmers have a combined 100 years of farming experience. We think you'll find that Local Harvest CSA supports your own wishes for seasonally ripe, delicious, and nutritionally sound foods.

At times throughout the growing season, farmers from Local Harvest CSA will be at the pick up site to answer questions or for conversation.

Also, at the end of the summer season, we hold our annual potluck dinner at the pick up site, to celebrate our community.

All the produce we provide to you is certified organic. That means instead of relying on chemicals, our farmers work with the cycles and forces of nature to grow our food. We use sustainable practices which build the health of the soil and promote biodiversity, leaving a legacy of true wealth for the future. Organic certification is your assurance that your food has been grown and handled with the strict standards and procedures of the USDA's National Organic Program.
