We have decided to make the CSA shorter and more affordable in order to reach more people. Now, for $400.00 (additional early pay and returning member discounts are available), you can get a full share ($250.00 for half share) of fresh veggies every week for 15 weeks.
Our Seedling CSA and our Marketshares are the same as last year.
It’s here. The start of CSA season. We have lot’s of veggies growing in this drought. Here’s what to expect:
Radishes, Sweet Salad Turnips, Scallions, Lettuce, Spinach, Kale(!), …. and maybe more. We’ll see.
Remember to bring a box or basket to pick up your share. Pickup is from 4:-7:pm at the farm on 288 Upper Cross Rd in Lebanon, Maine (the old Red Wing Farm). Please pull in on the GRASS drive, and then EXIT through the gravel drive. We will have signs up that show IN and OUT.
Please be sure to check your email accounts, INCLUDING SPAM, and send a quick reply saying you’ve gotten it so our future emails don’t end up getting lost.
Looking forward to it!
Jordan and Marybeth
We are extending the deadline so we can bring more food to the people. Our Seedling CSA is full, however, but you can still buy seedlings at a discount when you purchase Marketshares (20% free). And still, the best deal on veggies is through a Full Share. Last year’s CSA Full Share members recieved $753.00 worth of produce throughout the summer for a $550.00 share!
We are now officially participating in the Somersworth Farmers’ Market! 
Join us on the lawn at Goodwin Community Health every Thursday from 3:00-6:00pm for a selection of fresh products from our local farmers.
Thanks to our partners, Seacoast Eat Local, the Somersworth Farmers Market is anticipating accepting SNAP/EBT. Stay tuned for updated and for more information on SNAP benefits, click here.
Here is the list of what FULL SHARE members received for each week of CSA pickups:
Remember, the season starts out slowly, and evolves depending on each season.

Don’t forget that we also sell 1/2 shares for $300.00. A half share is slightly more than one half of a full share.
Today is the Pay In Full Discount Deadline ($25.00 off!!!) for the 2014 season… UNLESS….
You sing up at the Berwick Farmers’ Market on 16MAR14 from 10:00-2:00 at the Berwick town hall. We are also offering a $20.00 signup bonus if you sign up at Market. That means if you pay in full at the farmers’ market you save $45.00. ANY returning CSA member automatically saves $25.00 every year…. so a returning member that pays if full tomorrow at the market (while you are shopping there ANYWAY), saves $70.00 !! We at Two Toad Farm WANT you to take advantage of these savings.
