Happy Valley Berry Farm is pleased to offer their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program which is a subscription produce program where members purchase a “share” of the farm’s harvest which the member receives each week on Friday after 4:30 p.m. at Swarthmore Food Coop. The full share feeds 2 adults and 2 to 3 children and costs $400 for 13 weeks. The partial share feeds one or two adults and a child and costs #350 for the same time period. We try to put 8 to 10 different items in the full share and 6 to 8 items in the partial share. Every week during the summer, there is at least one fruit included in the share and often two or more fruits. The summer CSA begins on June 19, runs 13 weeks and ends September 11, 2015
Crops offered during the summer season include the following plus assorted others like figs, if we have them:
- Blackberries
