Due to Flooding - No CSA This Year

It is with incredible sadness that John and I have decided to cancel our Sweet Berry Hill CSA for this year. The rain we all experienced over the past few months created a mushy mess that even the hardiest of the seeds haven't been able to overcome.

We will have checks in the mail to you by the first of the week.

We understand that Pete's Greens still has some availability in their CSAhttp://www.petesgreens.com/ and, although it looks like they got hit hard by the rain too, Wellspring CSA http://www.wellspringcsa.com/ is still accepting members as well. Both of them have Montpelier drop off locations.

We've had non-stop rain for weeks now and we're still not sure what effect it will have on the gardens. Hopefully will know more in the next week or so...we may have to delay the official opening day by a week or so and extend further out. We'll keep you posted. Thanks for your understanding!

Bees, bees, bees...

Soon the little bees will be busy making honey for us...

One of our garlic beds...just a few weeks later and look at that garlic grow!

Membership

GARLIC!!

When you invest in a membership at Sweet Berry Hill you will enjoy eating healthier, fresher produce this summer. John uses the best possible growing methods for protecting the crops, human health and the environment.

Members come to the Hill once a week, from mid-June through mid-September (for a total of 16 weeks) to get a share of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Our CSA also includes fresh eggs from pasture raised chickens, maple syrup, fresh honey and more.

We offer three types of memberships:

Half Share (every other week pick-up): Ideal for one or two adults who eat an average amount of vegetables, or who have a small garden of their own. $175

Single Share: Perfect for two vegetarians or a family of 3-4 average eaters. $350.

Double Share: Designed for a family of 4-6 of veggie eaters. $575.

A list of what's available for pick up will be updated weekly on this blog.
