We will deliver the weekly vegetable share to a drop-off site in Albany, Ballston Spa, Clifton Park, Colonie, Delmar, Glenville, Guilderland, Halfmoon, Niskayuna, Round Lake, Saratoga, Troy, Vischer Ferry, and at Denison Farm on Wednesdays from 4:00-8:00 (except where otherwise noted) or at the Troy Farmers’ Market on Saturdays from 9:00am-2:00pm (vegetable share only). Any produce not picked up by 8:00 or at the close of market will be donated to local food pantries. 

All Shares will be pre-packed into boxes (that can be returned the following week). Please remember that pick-up will be once a week at the site you have chosen.

View This Week’s Share to see this season’s shares. Members will receive a wide variety of vegetables including most or all of the following:  Baby Lettuce Mix, Braising Greens, Arugula, Mesclun, Spinach, Kale, Swiss Chard, Collards, Head Lettuce (Redleaf, Greenleaf, Boston, Romaine), Scallions, Red and Yellow Onions, Leeks, Garlic, Sweet Potato, Turnip, Radish, Beets, Carrots, Rutabaga, Celeriac, Potatoes (Red, Fingerling, Yellow, and White Flesh), Cabbage, Broccoli, Bok Choi, Chinese Cabbage, Green Beans, Sugarsnap and Snow Peas, Cucumbers, Summer Squash, Zucchini, Winter Squash (Acorn, Buttercup, Butternut, Delicata, Sweet Dumpling), Tomato, Tomatillos, Eggplant, Sweet Peppers, Fennel, Sweet Corn, as well as Herbs, Watermelons, Cantaloupe, and Strawberries.

We will be offering an egg share (1 dozen each week for the entire 22 week season). The eggs are from Hidden Camp Farm where the hens are USDA Certified Organic and are kept on pasture where they can eat grass and bugs, take dust baths, and strut!

The fruit share will come from a number of local farmers and where possible will be organic, but the majority of the fruit will be conventionally grown. The share will run for 12 weeks, beginning in July and ending in October. We hope to start with cherries, followed by blueberries.  Stone fruit (plums, apricots, peaches, and nectarines) will follow and we will finish with apples and pears.

The flower share is from Windflower Farm and lasts for 10 weeks. Jan Blomgren began growing cut flowers 27 years ago. Her great grandmother’s cottage garden in Vermont inspired her love of flowers. Annual flowers are her favorites, including snap dragon, stock, sunflower, lisianthus, campanula and zinnia. She grows 30 varieties of annuals, along with Asiatic lilies and dahlias. Jan arranges them in bunches and bouquets, using foliage gathered from her farm’s fields and hedgerows.  

The egg, fruit and flower shares will not be available at the Troy Farmers’ Market on Saturday, but will be available at all of the Wednesday distribution sites.

We intend to offer to both CSA and non-CSA members a Winter Vegetable Box in 2019 for 3-4 pick-up times; two in November and 2 in December. Each box will contain root crops (potatoes, celeriac, sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets), winter squash, along with leeks, kale, and onions. The winter box in November and December will weigh approximately 35 lbs., price TBD. 

Any CSA shareholder wishing to volunteer at the farm is very welcome. We also offer a limited number of working shares that give a $40 discount in exchange for a total of 8 hours of work both at the farm and in other capacities such as working at the distribution sites or at the Farmers’ Markets. Please call us in advance of completing your membership agreement form for availability.
