We are delighted to offer the Riverland Shared Harvest Winter CSA again this year!
One of the founding and enduring principles of Shared Harvest is bringing you shares that are thoughtfully composed of food grown by experienced small-scale family farmers growing with organic practices (mostly certified), and within 100 miles of our pickup location. The bulk of this year’s share will be provided by Riverland Farm in Sunderland, MA. As many of you know, Shared Harvest has distributed their shares at Wright-Locke Farm for many years. We are thrilled to continue the partnership this year.
As part of our commitment to creating better accessibility to the organic food we sell, we have instituted Tiered Pricing for all CSAs. Our goal is to leverage the shared resources of our community to help share the bounty of the season in a more equitable way. There will be three pricing options for each share: Base, Pay-It-Forward, and Reduced.
- The Base price is what it costs us, and our partners, to grow and provide the share.
- The Pay-It-Forward price will help subsidize the Reduced price option.
- We will offer 10% of shares at the Reduced Price.
We hope that if you are interested in buying a Riverland Shared Harvest CSA share, and have the ability, that you will consider purchasing a share at the Pay-It-Forward price to help us increase food access in the Riverland Shared Harvest community.
