Brookfield Farm is our CSA…read more What is a CSA, you ask? Community Supported Agriculture. Basically, you pay the farm some cash, and they grow food. Tons and tons of food. Organically. Biodynamically. Locally. Then, they pack up a ton of boxes and send them off to the Boston area, where you can pick up your box. Every week, from June to November, there is a box full of tasty, fresh, local veggies waiting for you. It can't be beat. They are really good with telling you what you are getting (this is particularly helpful for those who are not veggie geeks). They put out a newsletter each week telling you what is new on the farm, what new foods you will see in your box, and they even include recipes. Because now that you have a four-pound bok choy, you need to figure out what to do with it. If you live closer to the farm, you can pick up your food there, and you can stop by for all the pick your own goodies (strawberries, peas, flowers). We will definitely do this again and would recommend it to anyone!

There are usually popsicles involved, and picking berries, and seeing old friends and making new ones. On top of that, the quality of the produce is top notch, and the farm shop sells lots of local products like yogurt, maple syrup, fresh bread, and more.

An absolutely incredible CSA!…read more The staff here are incredibly helpful and friendly. They go out of their way, even on busy days, to answer any questions you have about the produce, the farm, or anything else about the area that you want to know. They keep the place looking great all season long (both the "you pick" fields and the indoor store. The most attractive thing about this farm share upon first glance was the great hours. You can go Saturdays from 10-3, and W-F from 1-630PM to pick up your share. These hours are unbeatable compared to other CSAs in Western Mass and they make it easier for busy people with odd work schedules to participate, which I appreciate. I also appreciate that they have THREE farm share sizes to chose from. I strongly recommend getting the largest one, and getting a buddy (or buddies) and sharing it, it is a great deal and a ton of produce! The prices and how everything works is clearly spelled out on their website so you can check it out before you head there. The produce selection is also pretty awesome. We are never bored. My favorite part about farm shares is that it forces you to eat way more vegetables than you probably would otherwise, and it also forces you to be creative with recipes and explore new dishes to cook. The U-Pick component is also a lot of fun, especially if you have kiddos. The current U-Pick selection is quite robust, unlike other farm shares where you just pick a handful of items and you're out. The fresh herbs alone are enough to make the U-pick worth every ounce of sweat required to pick them on a hot summer day. Finally, I must comment on the view. I attached some pictures to make that point. Being at the base of Mt Tom provides beautiful views as you are out in the field picking produce. It definitely makes you stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and smile. I strongly recommend this place!

We also like their indoor store; they have some fresh-grown tomatoes that are tasty and sell some very good locally grown canned and bottled products (try their apple sauce - really yummy). Good folks.

I've been a CSA member with Full Well for 3 years. Being a CSA member has lowered my spend at the grocery store, introduced me to new vegetables (Delicate Squash), and has kept my money in my community. I also have bought a flower CSA as a gift before! If a CSA isn't for you, catch them at the farmer's market or stop by their farm stand. Full Well's arugula, salad mix, and tomatoes are not to be missed. Their farmer's market stall is always beautiful and their staff is helpful and able to answer questions about their growing practices or what veggies you should get!

All have been worth, but Oxen Hill Farm just puts a real personal touch to approach. Full shares, for big families (4+) and Half shares for smaller (less than 3); generally from June to October. A Fall extension is available for an additional price. If we can't eat our share before it goes to wast, then items are prepared and frozen, dehydrated and vacuum packed, or canned. Due to the interest in our Town we are afforded an in-town pick-up on Thursdays evenings. However, trips up to the Farm are always nice on a Saturday morning. At the Farm, you have a bit more choice than the in-town pick-up and you have browse through their nine herb beds and rows of flowers for the pick'n. Special purchases are available, too, my favorite the 20 pound cases of super ripe tomatoes. This has become my WeakEnd Warrior Passion once a year. Sauce and lots of it; basically a years worth. This year we ordered five 20 pound cases, plus about another 10 pounds from our garden. Equating to 45 quarts of frrrrresh sauce jared and sealed over a two day Saucy Fest. With Oxen Hill, it's all about fresh: Corn, Lettuces', Potatoes, Yams, Squashes, Tomatoes, Kale, Swiss Chard, Beets, Cucumbers, Garlic, Chives, Garlic Chives, Onion, Beans, Melons, Pumpkin, and so on!

Stillman's CSA has TRANSFORMED the way I think about food and groceries!…read more I've always been a fresh produce and meat kind of girl (as my Cantonese background dictates), but I've never really given much thought as to where it all came from. To me, a tomato was a tomato - organic was just something they added to charge you another $3. I mean, I was eating a tomato, wasn't I? Little did I know... So this summer, I decided to take the plunge and add an element of locavore to my weekly shopping. I signed up for the Stillman's CSA by default, seeing as they were the only one I could find who delivered to Brookline. A couple of friends and I split a full share, and golly gosh are we glad we did! Every week, I line up at Clear FLour with the rest of Brookline to get my delivery of fresh mouth-watering local organically grown produce. Sure, sometimes it's not what I would buy (SO many beets the first few weeks!), but it's made me exercise my recipe chops. And a local tomato is definitely not just a tomato. Sweet and tangy, it puts those watery mealy things you get at the salad bar to complete shame. And, as it turns out, it's definitely NOT hard on the budget. $450/season (20 weeks) comes out to $7/person/week for a family (or group) of three, for more vegetables than you could possibly eat! I've taken to freezing things to keep for veggie reserves in the winter. Fresh corn chowder on a cold winter night? Yes please! They do meat too! I wish I had the type of budget to sustain (haha, get it?) a membership in the turkey farm CSA. Maybe when I get a promotion... Anyhow, I'm not quite ready to give up traveling produce - after all, my Chinese roots make demands that HAVE to be seen to, and the winter in Boston is long. Russo's to the rescue, I guess. But overall, Stillman's CSA has opened my eyes to supporting local producers while they do what they do best - putting the freshest tastiest seasonal produce on my table, just as it should be.
