Common Ground 2013 CSA Shares

 

Common Ground is a three acre student run organic vegetable farm.  As students we are learning as we go.  Some of us our seasoned farm workers and others are getting their feet wet for the first time.

Vermont has a very short growing season.  We start our plants in a greenhouse in early March to get them ready for transplant as soon as the snow thaws!  Early season Vermont vegetables are often hardy greens that can withstand cold nights.  The first few weeks of your share may contain lots of kale, chard, and lettuce, but be patient- it gets REALLY good.

In the world of farming things are ever changing.  Things like weather and pests can affect our daily operation.  Each week your basket will change and we will always provide you with the highest quality product we can.

With these two things taken into consideration we appreciate your support in our learning and growing process.
