WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO?

We are a 15 year and counting Organic Farm, certified by Bay State Certifiers (a certifying agency under the authority of USDA). Summer CSA product is primarily grown right here at Heavens Harvest Farm in New Braintree Massachusetts. To continue to offer the substantial variety that our share holders have asked for and become accustomed to, we have established a reciprocal buying relationship with a number of Western Mass certified organic farms and local IPM orchards.

Each week as part of our weekly newsletter found online, we will tell you what is in your share and where it was grown. Our continuing collaborative relationship with these other farms only strengthens our ability to provide for you the consumer the best quality, variety and nutritious organic vegetables and fruit.

The following farms are part of our growing network of partners:

Enterprise Farm Whately, MA

Full Bloom Farm South Deerfield, MA

Riverland Farm Sunderland, MA

Warner Farms Sunderland MA

Plainville Farm Hadley MA

Czajkowski Farm Hadley MA

We are very grateful for the incredible relationships developed between us and the above farm owners. Over 1,000 acres of organic farmland in Massachusetts is providing for you and all of our shareholders needs. Wow!

CSA BASICS

The concept of CSA membership began more than thirty years ago as organic family-run farms realized that a new local delivery system was necessary. This new system of operation would greatly enhance the consumer understanding and appreciation for the process of growing and harvesting high quality organic foods. The immediate concern was always price, which was hard to overcome when marketed through other distributors. As a result, some courageous and bright farmers decided to eliminate the costly middle-man and bring the savings direct to the consumer.

This Community Supported Agriculture concept has enabled many locally operated farms throughout the U.S. to stay in operation in order to provide the highest quality local, sustainable, and certified organic produce for the discriminating consumer. The model that we have embraced involves a set fee for the growing season in exchange for a weekly delivery of organic vegetables and small fruit.
