CSA is a relationship of mutual support and commitment between a local farm and community
members. Members pay a seasonal fee to receive a weekly supply of fresh organic produce, which
varies in content according to the season.

How does it work?
Each week from the beginning of June till the end of October you will receive 7 - 10 seasonal
vegetables and/or herbs from our gardens. We pick the produce the same day you get it, so it’s
super fresh. You can also receive fresh cut flower bouquets in your share for an additional charge.
Members come to The Lucky Dog Farm Store in Hamden each Thursday between 4 and 6pm to pick
up their produce. If you can’t pick up at that time, we’ll hold your share for a Friday or Saturday
pickup.

By becoming a CSA member, you will receive a fresher product at a lower price. And because we use
no pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified seed, you can feel secure in the knowledge
you’re eating safe, honest, food.

Members will:
Enjoy a variety of fresh, organic produce and flowers at a great prices including many items
unavailable at local supermarkets.
Help reduce packaging and distribution wastes that ultimately expend the Earth’s resources and end
up as pollution.

Support a local family farm.
Bring your food source closer to home and help narrow the gap between consumers and farmers.
