Our Other Local Farm Products Partners
Our CSA buying club differs a little from a traditional buying club in that we only offer local products. Most are farm products, but we also have food products from local companies such bread from Standard Baking (summer only) and local fresh roasted coffee from Moses Dyer.
Except for perishable products such as bread and lobster, we do not require that our members order these products in advance since we have been able to get a feel for the quantity required from week to week.
Because of the volume that we buy, we stock these and offer them at a minimal mark-up just to cover our operating costs. This way we can offer the same high quality products that you will find in many retail stores at 20% to 50% less than retail.
Last year was our first year with this program and it continues to be enormously popular with our members. Here is a list of our local farm products partners, and links to their web sites.
