Howell & Freehold CSA begins Fri., 6/12 limited shares remaining

Worried about Enough Fresh Food? Direct from the farmer and 100% volunteer-run. Organic freshly picked vegetables, fruits, and eggs.

It's never been a better time to join a CSA! Anyone can buy a share of a local farm through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Investing in a CSA gives you the freshest fruits, vegetables and eggs that your favorite local farm has harvested each week!

CSAs are typically delivered to you for a small fee or you can pick them up from a central location, but there is minimal person-to-person contact involved in the hand-off of produce and farms are implementing best food safety practices.Since you're investing in the same farm for the entire season and eliminating any supermarkets or other retail middlemen, joining a CSA is the most direct way you can financially support your favorite local farmer.

Twenty-four weeks of beautiful, healthy and organic NJ produce! Although we pay in full ahead of time here is the weekly cost breakdown of each share option: - full premium share - $720 which is $30 per week for 24 weeks - premium split share - $360 for 12 weeks.
