Farm Share Spotlight: The Village Farm
February 27, 2024
The Village Farm in Gaylordsville 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.
The Village Farm is a small family farm using organic growing methods. They are Certified Naturally Grown and grow a wide variety of vegetables and fruits. Their focus is on fresh and, as a small farm, they can cater to your tastes. Their goal is to be sure what’s in your CSA share is eaten and enjoyed!
If you are a Connecticut resident who is interested in a reduced cost CSA share from The Village Farm, visit their website to apply for a share.
Don’t need a discounted CSA but would like to support them in providing discounted CSA shares to those in need? You can donate to their fund here.
