New Lebanon Cooperative CSA
This new CSA is a collaboration between Abode Farm, New Leaf Farm, and Gentle Time Farm to bring a wide variety of fresh, sustainably grown vegetables to our community through weekly farm shares. A farm share offers ten to twelve delicious vegetables per week for twenty weeks, hosted by the New Lebanon Farmers Market & Grocery.
How does it work?
To become a member, purchase your share on this website or in person at the farmers market.
Members will pick up at the market between 1pm and 6pm on Wednesdays, starting June 21 and wrapping up November 1. Delivery is also available. (The market will help with any issues picking up or receiving delivery).
Members will bring their own bags and select their items from a special area reserved for the CSA. (Some items may be pre-packed or mix-and-match, depending on the week.)
The farms will share weekly crop updates to give members a heads up about what veggies to expect each week and will share fuller updates throughout the season
Payment options?
We have three price levels: a full price option and low-income options at ¾ price and ½ price.
Members can pay for the CSA by credit card on this website or by check or SNAP at the market. (You'll find these options on the checkout page of this website, or simply stop into the market.)
The low-income options are possible because of the generous support of Berkshire Grown and individual donors to our CSA Access Fund. If you are able to donate, you will help offset the cost of a share for another community member!
All shares purchased via SNAP are also eligible for Market Match. If you have a low income, you can choose the ½ price share and pay with SNAP. We would swipe your SNAP card for $175. Then Market Match would cover $175 and our CSA Access Fund would cover $350.
Please contact the market with any questions regarding payment via hi@newlebanonfarmersmarket.com or by stopping in and saying hi.
No one will be turned away for lack of funds!

Community Supported Agriculture
Our farm provides Summer and Winter CSA shares. We offer multiple sizes and sliding scale pricing as well as subsidized shares to fit your family’s needs. Members will pick up a variety of freshly harvested produce for 20 weeks during the summer season and twice monthly during the winter season. The share composition changes every week as new crops become in season. As a member, you will also have access to u-pick flowers, tomatoes, beans, peas, and herbs on the farm.
What is Community Supported Agriculture? The idea is that community members buy "shares" of the farm's harvest. Members pay up front in order to provide the farmers essential funds for hefty annual spring expenses and the guarantee of a consistent base of customers to eat the crops we are growing! Signing up for a CSA means aligning yourself with the challenges and rewards of sustainable agriculture, as we share the risks and reap the rewards of abundant crops!
