Here on the farm, we are fortunate to be the weekly host of Enterprise Farm Winter Vegetable Share and Cape Ann Fresh Catch, a fishery that delivers fresh fish.

Starting around November, Enterprise Farms hosts a winter food share. They source fruits and veggies from growers up and down the eastern seaboard. they include as much local produce as they can, including storage crops, onions, root vegetables, and greenhouse-grown salad mix and baby greens. They also partner with growers from Prince Edward Island to Homestead, Florida to bring you a variety of items including tree-ripened oranges, lettuce, tomatoes, eggplant, green beans, and more. You can sign up now here.

Cape Ann Fresh Catch, a Community Supported Fishery based out of Gloucester MA, delivers in Lincoln at Codman Community Farms! They offer both fillets and whole fish options. You can also get a weekly or bi-weekly delivery option. Anyone interested in purchasing the highest quality, locally harvested seafood this winter can become a member of this program by signing up now at www.capeannfreshcatch.org . They are also offering a special “Neptune’s Choice” share this November that’s purchased separately and will offer species not regularly delivered in our weekly or bi-weekly shares.

While you are picking up your CSA shares don’t forget to stop in the farm store for farm fresh eggs, meat and milk! We are also stocking locally made flour, jellies, sauces, and dry goods.

Milk, Butter and Credit Cards

Get produce all winter long!

Enterprise Farm is teaming up with Codman Community Farms in Lincoln for a 2011-2012 East Coast Farm Share pick up starting in September. This fall they will be doing a mini share of their fall harvest. Then beginning in December their winter share will start. In the winter they build their boxes with a combination of local storage crops (apples, onions, potatoes, carrots, etc.), local hot house grown produce (spinach, salad mix, greens, etc.) as well as produce they source from a tight-knit, ever expanding, network of small organic farms along the east coast (PEI, Canada to Florida–all within 1,000 miles). You’ll see things like tree ripened citrus, green beans, fresh greens, eggplant, avocados, tomatoes, and much more. Enterprise Farm puts together fresh, healthy shares all winter to hold them over until they can start farming their own 80 acres in the summer. You can check their old newsletters to see what comes in the boxes on a weekly basis.

This is a 20 week share from December to May.

There are two share sizes:

SMALL: About 1/2 bushel per week. Feeds 1-2 adults or a small family who cook at home at least 3 times per week.
LARGE: About 1 bushel per week. Great for a family of 4 who cook at home about 3 times per week.

To sign up or for more information go to their website or email farmshare@enterpriseproduce.com.
