Woven Stars Farm CSA
CSA, Community Supported Agriculture, is a way to provide you direct access to fresh food straight from the farm. This type of agriculture gives you a better connection to the farmers and allows you to eat more naturally and seasonally. In purchasing a CSA share, you directly support us by giving the farm funds to invest in the new season and give the farm more financial stability.
CSA Share Details
Once monthly, you will receive a mix of seasonal meats and fresh eggs. Our meats include heritage breed lamb, chevon (goat), beef, chicken, pork and duck.
All meat will arrive frozen in vacuum sealed packaging. You can pre-order additional cuts of meat and eggs before your pick up by sending us an email.

FAQs
What kind of meat and eggs will I be getting?
All of the meat and eggs you will be getting is raised organically with the highest welfare standards. Our sheep, goats and cows are 100% grass fed and rotationally grazed. This means they are fed exclusively grass and are rotated to a fresh, new area of grass every couple of days. Our chickens, ducks and pigs are fed organic, local, non-gmo grains and are raised on pasture their entire lives. We also rotationally graze them. Our lay hens and pigs have access to organic food scraps, nuts, berries and other forages growing on our farm.
Benefits to purchasing a share?
By purchasing a CSA share you will receive all the items in the share at a reduced price. You will also be directly supporting the farmers by providing them with funds to jumpstart their growing season. This allows them to purchase the necessary equipment and supplies to grow food. You will also be able to come to visit the farm bi-weekly and connect with the farmers and food you will be receiving. Most importantly you will be supporting Organic and Biodynamic agriculture!
How much people does a share feed?
A Regular Share typically feds 2 to 4 people. A Small Share feeds 1-2 people depending on your eating habits. All of our meat is frozen so you can place
it in your freezer and eat it at a later time (up to a year)
if you are not able to eat it all within those two weeks.
Can I make substitutions for different items?
We unfortunately, cannot accommodate substitutions at this time.
We do offer some choices at pick up though of the same valued items.
An example would be lamb stew meat for ground lamb.
Choices are offered only when available.
What happens if you can't pick up your share?
If you’re heading out of town or you’re unable to pick up your share for any reason, we suggest asking a friend to pick up for you. If that is not possible, please send us an email ahead of the scheduled pick up time. Late pickup is only available for on farm pick up. We must know in advance if you are unable to pickup your share. If you are a no-show, the share will be forfeited.
Do you accept SNAP Benefits?
Yes! We proudly accept SNAP Benefits for our CSA. To use SNAP towards
your CSA please fill out the SNAP option in the payment section on the
sign up form. Instead of paying in advance you will pay individually for
each pick up. Payment is due at time of pick-up.
Do you offer subsidized shares for low-income members?
Yes we do! We offer 1-2 shares free of cost through Berkshire Grown's Share The Bounty Program. Please email us to apply for a subsidized share
