a note to our returning CSA members
After reviewing the member feedback and statistics from last year we have created a new program. It is a simplified version of years past and we believe it will cater to everyone while giving us the ability to focus on a strong CSA package for the 2022 season.
This year we will be offering subscribers a “ Bardwell Farm Share”. This is our most popular size and will be an improved version of the "Small Share" we provided in 2021. It will feed up to 2 people and you will receive 7 to 9 vegetables each week.
If you have a larger family we welcome you to purchase an additional share or two. Shares can be purchased at a discount of $25 off each additional share (max of 3 shares per family).
Employing this new system will help streamline our workload and reduce logistics to provide fresh vegetables each week.
Thank you for your support!

what is csa?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) brings together communities, farmers, and farmland into a mutually beneficial relationship that sustains local agriculture, ensures greater food security, and strengthens the commonwealth.
A CSA is the opportunity to purchase a “share” of our farm. You will be investing in the farm's harvest and the risk vs. reward we experience during the growing season!

what is the risk vs reward?
Sharing the Risk
We promise to do our best to provide you with a fresh and plentiful share. The quantity of produce may vary from week to week due to extreme weather events, insect pressure, disease, or other factors despite our best efforts. By joining our CSA you are agreeing to share the risk of crop loss with us and other members.
If this should happen and a small portion of crops are affected, we will compensate by filling your share with other vegetables that are ready for harvest at that time or we may also cover the loss by buying in vegetables from other local farms. This may not be a feasible option for all crops because of the difference in cost or widespread crop failure here in the valley.
Sharing the Reward
When crops are abundant, our goal is to pack just the right amount of vegetables into a share and not overwhelm our members or deliver so much produce that it goes to waste.
