UVM’s Common Ground Student-Run Educational Farm is now accepting participants for its 2013 CSA. This three-acre, student run organic vegetable farm, has already begun growing hardy greens like kale, chard and lettuce in the greenhouse. Crops are rotated throughout the growing season, so each week yields a new CSA basket for you to enjoy. The CSA runs a total of 16 weeks, June through October.

The following CSA options are available. Please note that there are $20 discounts for those who sign up prior to April 1!
