Farm Share Spotlight: KDCROP FARMS

KDCROP FARMS in Chaplin is participating in CT NOFA’s Farm Share Program, which provides reduced cost Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares – also known as farm shares – to Connecticut residents in need of financial assistance.

Established in 2006, KDCROP FARMS is a vegetable, herb, fruit, starter plant, and egg farm. The farm is family run and woman-owned, led by Kelly Caisse. They use organic, non-chemical, no-till techniques to grow their produce, reduce carbon footprint by mostly using hand tools, and keep the soil happy! KDCROP FARMS also produces a line of value-added relishes, pickles, jams, and salsas that are farm-raised, handmade, and naturally grown for the garden fresh, farm-to-table experience.

They run a weekly CSA program in which customers receive a 6-item box for 10 weeks of mixed vegetables, fruit, jars, eggs, starter plants, sauerkraut, and cheese from Cato Corner Farm at a pick-up point on the farm and farmers markets they attend. A portion of CSA profits are donated to the Chaplin Elementary School PTO and other schools.

If you are a Connecticut resident who is interested in a reduced cost CSA share from KDCROP FARMS, visit their website to apply for a share.
