Radical Roots Farm is pleased to announce the availability of 2012 CSA Farm Shares! Please click here for a registration form.
PRE-PAY FARM SHARE
A “Pre-Pay Farm Share” means you will receive a credit to purchase whatever vegetables, herbs or flowers you want every Saturday at Rutland’s Farmers Market. By making this upfront investment in our farm, we are able to offer you an additional 10-15% value on your money.
--- Pre-Pay $200 and receive a season's credit of $220
--- Pre-Pay $300 and receive a season's credit of $340
--- Pre-Pay $400 and receive a season's credit of $460
A Pre-Pay Farm Share gives you the advantage of being able to choose whatever you want, whenever you want it. On vacation? No problem - your pre-pay credit is good all season long! Having company one weekend? You can get as many veggies as you need to feed a full house! Not a fan of zucchini? With a pre-pay farm share you only take what you like!
MARKET BASKET FARM SHARE:
A “Market-Basket Farm Share” means you receive a “basket” of mixed vegetables (and even some herbs and flowers) every week for 22 weeks (Monday, June 4th through Monday, October 29th). Each week, this “basket” will contain a generous mix of the crops we harvested that week including some "member choices" as the harvest permits. By making this upfront investment in our farm, you receive 20% more value for your money.
Market-Basket Shares are picked up at the farm on Creek Road in Rutland (1.8 miles south of the College of St. Joseph) on Mondays (between 4-7pm) or as prearranged. (NEW THIS YEAR: We are offering delivery to a small number of Rutland City workplaces, with a minimum of 3 shares per site and a $25 fee for the entire season's delivery. If you are interested in finding out how your workplace could become a delivery location, please let us know by calling Carol or Dennis at 802-775-4994.)

WHAT DO SHARES RECEIVE?
While every season is different, Radical Roots Farm Share Members received more than 40 different vegetables (including some herbs and flowers) over the course of the 2011 season.
Most of these veggies were the Vermont standards (tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, spinach, basil, potatoes, peas, green beans, etc.) but our share members also received a sprinkling of the more “exotic” veggies we grow on our land (artichokes, escarole, collards, etc.).
Here is a list of what shares received last year. For a complete listing, click here.
