When you arrive at the farm each week on your share pick-up day, most of your share will have been harvested and washed for you before you arrive. In order to give you the most choice possible in your CSA share, we use the mix-or-match system for our CSA share distribution. Your vegetables will be displayed at a farmers market style stand and you will have the opportunity to choose a certain number of items each week from the available selection, depending on the share size you signed up for. For example, in mid-summer a Standard Share will likely have the choice of 9 items from a selection of 12-14 types of vegetables. You can choose the same vegetable for several of your items or choose 9 different vegetables, it is up to you. Some items might be limited week to week depending on the day's harvest and availability to ensure every shareholder has the chance to select them.

There will always be at least one farmer attending the CSA distribution to answer your questions about the food and the farm and to offer recipes ideas and suggestions. We will also put out a weekly farm newsletter with updates on farm happenings, upcoming events and celebrations and recipe ideas.

During share pick-up hours we also encourage farm members to hang out, picnic, talk to neighbors, talk to your farmers, play with your kids and enjoy this beautiful place.

Crimson & Clover Farm is a community based farm located on the beautiful Northampton Community Farm in Florence, Massachusetts. We grow a wide variety of fresh vegetables, fruits and flowers for a Community Supported Agriculture Program and for farmers markets in the Northampton area.

We welcome and encourage community involvement with the farm and offer weekly volunteer workdays, farm celebrations and educational opportunities for adults, youth, and farmers in training.

At Crimson & Clover Farm we use sustainable growing practices that build the health of our soils and land over the long term. While we are not certified organic, we don't use any synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides and our goal is always to leave the land healthier than we find it.
