The Gaouette Farm in North Andover, MA grows the best tasting organic vegetables around! NO chemical pesticides! No chemical fertilizers! Only satisfying, fresh food the way nature intended!
Join our new CSA and become a shareholder of the harvest!
CSA stands for community supported agriculture, and over the past 20 years it has become a very popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. The customer pays the farmer early in the season and thus reserves their "share" of the harvest. Shares will be picked up each week starting from mid-June and lasting until mid-October in an average season.
For those new to community supported agriculture, the key to remember is that the harvest will follow the natural cycle of the season- meaning the first few weeks of shares will be a little smaller than those coming thereafter. By mid-July, many of the summer vegetable favorites will be available and the weekly share will contain a respectable amount of food. Some years there may be more of one crop or less of another because every growing season is different.
Benefits of Gaouette Farm CSA:
1. Eat ultra-fresh food, with all the flavor and health benefits.
2. Develop a relationship with the farmer who grows your food and learn more about how it is grown.
3. Help support a local farm so that healthy food will be a part of our future.
4. Help the environment by not supporting corporate farming and all of its far reaching effects.
The Gaouette Farm CSA is available in two sizes:
A Half Share: Generally provides vegetables for two adults.
A Full Share: Generally provides vegetables for a family of 4.
