How Does a CSA Work?

How Does a CSA Work?

At the beginning of the year, members purchase a share of the crop. Then throughout the season, you receive your share of the harvest. Shareholders do not know what they are getting in advance, but they know it will be nutritious seasonal local bounty.  You and your family can be more involved in the farming process, enjoy fresh picked vegetables throughout the season and help us preserve open land in the area.

 Veronica's Garden PICKUP 2026 season will run from June 12 (weather permitting) to October 12, a total of 16 weeks.  Shares for the season are $690 for FULL SHARE and $460 for HALF SHARE. Shares usually include 6-9 types of vegetables and/or fruit. Full shares are enough for a family of 3-5 people and half shares for a family of 2-4. Learn how to use these vegetables through our recipes posted weekly on our website

RIDGEFIELD members  will pick up their share on THURSDAYS from 3:45-6 PM at  our farm stand located in front of Bobo's Cafe at 32 Danbury Road .

LACHAT Town Farm CSA members will pickup on THURSDAYS from 4-8 PM in the barn located on Godfrey Road West, Weston.

THINGS TO KNOW:

If the need arises where you cannot pick up your share (vacation, illness, work schedule), please let us know by Wednesday of that week, as well as if someone other than you will be picking up.  RIDGEFIELD shares not picked up at the set time, without prior notification, will be donated and you will forfeit that week.  LACHAT shares that are not picked up will be put in the Offutt Center overnight and returned to barn on Friday morning for pickup.  If not picked up by 8 pm Friday, they will be donated to a local food bank.

If for any reason you cannot return the bag provided from the previous week, please plan on bringing something else to take your share home in.
