Community Supported Agriculture Memberships still available at Pleasant Valley Gardens

Pleasant Valley Gardens: The Bonanno Family Farm

Community Supported Agriculture: CSA shareholders receive a portion of the farm’s harvest weekly from mid June through October. Members receive the freshest, highest quality produce available at near wholesale cost.

Benefits of being a CSA Shareholder: Fresh locally grown vegetables, harvested at their peak of nutritional value.

The Risk – Each growing season brings unique challenges. Occasionally a crop may fail due to conditions beyond our control. Our goal is to provide you with abundance throughout the growing season by growing a variety of produce.

The Harvest – Seasonality affects the size of your share. We grow a great diversity of vegetables. Following is an example of what to expect. June/July: leaf lettuce, romaine hearts, rhubarb, kale, beets, parsley, summer squash, and zucchini. We also plan to supplement the June shares with flowers from our greenhouses. August/September: all of the above plus peppers (sweet and hot), eggplant, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, melons, carrots, and okra. October: we typically lose all the fruiting vegetables but still have lettuce, kale, beets, parsley, winter squash, leeks. In October, we plan to supplement the weekly shares with hardy mums, corn stalks, and pumpkins. As time and the weather permits, we will try to add to this mix. Our current plan also includes some cut flowers each week as the season progresses.

Full Share Membership-$600

Our full share is about a bushel (5-20 lb) of produce each week for 20 weeks. This is enough for a typical family of four or for two vegetarian adults.

Half Share Membership-$400
