Collectively, these farms represent over 825 acres in production and in 2011, they are offering a total of 2,135 CSA shares + 790 winter shares. Half of the farms also offer year-round shares or winter share options. The farms range from 2 acres to 340 acres, and cover a wide geographic range. There are a lot of diverse options for pick-up locations, share structures, available foods, and farm involvement. Come to CSA Day to find the right option for you!
