Yes, a winter CSA in New Hampshire is totally a thing! This year Kearsarge Gore Farm and Greenhill Collective Farm are teaming up for a 10 week winter CSA that will be the best that NH has to offer this time of year. Weekly packages of organic root veggies, greens (yes, greens! grown in the greenhouse, available during the second half of the CSA), breads, dried herbs and mushrooms, teas, garlic and maple syrup will be dropped off for the CSA recipient to pick up at The Local on Main St. in Warner every Tuesday. This 10 week program, running from January 6 to March 10, is $300, boiling down to just $30/week for local, wholesome, trustworthy goods. If you are in the Kearsarge area, I urge you to try this CSA! I promise you will not be disappointed!
Here are what I find to be some wonderful advantages to a weekly CSA;
- Supporting local economy
- Getting to know the sources of our food (food security!)
- Receiving the highest quality and most nutritious products
- Minimizing time and money spent in the grocery store
- Easy to plan meals when you have a weekly package of food to work with
- Food travels less (think 15 miles vs 1500)
- Minimizes overall environmental impact
If you are interested in this CSA but not sure if you can make pick-ups in Warner, please message me and we can talk about arranging some sort of delivery. I would be happy to make this possible for absolutely anyone interested!
