Thank you for your interest in Fort Hill Farm CSA. At this time our CSA is full, and we have had to close our wait list due to the very positive response to our vegetable share program. Please check back to this web site in January 09 to see if the wait list has been reopened. Community Supported Agriculture is as much a movement as it is a farming business. We want to see more CSA farms in the area, and encourage you to support those that are currently up and running. To find other CSAs in the area please go to www.localharvest.org. You can also find a list of Connecticut organic growers, and farmers markets (CT has over 60!), at www.ctnofa.org. The main limiting factor to getting more CSA farms and more local produce is that new farmers have a hard time renting or owning high quality land (flat, fertile, stone free, well drained, and loamy) due to extremely high land costs and rapid development of Connecticut farm fields. There are organizations that are working to preserve Connecticut farmland, please go to www.workinglandsalliance.org to find out more. Thank you for your support of local farmers! |
