What is a CSA? To be a shareholder in a CSA is to be a member of a community based around a farm, Community Supported Agriculture. A member gives their support to the farm in winter and early spring allowing them to plan and buy supplies, and the consumer receives a generous share of fresh picked, certified organic produce throughout the summer and fall. In return for supporting the farm early in the season you enjoy our vegetables for below market prices, making it the most affordable way to buy local organic produce. New Beat Farm shareholders also get the opportunity to get connected to the land, hands, and horses that supply their food at shareholder events on the farm and through our weekly newsletters .
Our shares are designed to feed two adults or a small family, but figuring out what size share is most appropriate for you will be based on your families eating habits. Our Portland Delivery Shares run for 20 weeks from Mid-June through October and are available for delivery at multiple locations in Portland. We have a variety of different add on shares for both our Summer and Winter Portland delivery shares including, cheese, egg and flower shares. Our Market Shares are available at the Belfast Farmers Market June through February. For more information on our share options please visit their individual pages on this site.
