WALPOLE, N.H. — The Cheshire County Conservation District (CCCD) is excited to announce the launch of the Monadnock Farm Share Program. Eight Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) produce farms in the Monadnock Region have come together to ensure that farm fresh CSA vegetable shares are affordable for all interested community members in 2019.
The Farm Share Program provides limited-income Monadnock Region residents with the opportunity to support their local CSA farmer and receive reliable high-quality produce on a regular basis all season long. The prices are discounted through an innovative cost-share model. Participating families and individuals end up receiving a discounted vegetable share at 50% of it’s value.
More information and applications are available on the Conservation District website www.cheshireconservation.org/
Participating farms include Abenaki Springs Farm of Walpole NH, Foggy Hill Farm of Jaffrey NH, Hillside Springs Farm of Westmoreland NH, Hungry Bear Farm of Mason NH, New Dawn Farm of Westmoreland NH, Picadilly Farm of Winchester NH, Sun Moon Farm of Rindge NH, and Tracie’s Community Farm of Fitzwilliam NH. Farmers raise funds to cover 25% of the program costs and 25% of costs is provided by the Cheshire Medical Center for Population Health through it’s Healthy Monadnock Initiative. The customer is responsible to pay 50%.
