Waterpenny Farm: I think their pick up site is not super useful to most of us, but my friend Meg subscribes and she always has the best salads and veggie side dishes at potlucks, and the box of goodies she describes sounds lush, generous and tasty. And the farmers involved have the most romantic history!
Radix Farm: Kristin Carbone formerly of Clagett Farm has started her own farm in Upper Marlboro, MD and 2010 is her first year offering a CSA. At the time of this listing a June – November share would be $625 with a Tuesday evening drop point in NW, like MtP, Columbia Heights or Dupont Circle or Adams Morgan.
Fresh and Local CSA: Some friends of mine in the 16th St Heights host a drop for these guys and they rave about the produce. Sounds great – biodynamic farming practices, farm work days, “same day harvest and delivery”. 304-876-3382
Spiritual Food in the New Millennium CSA: Takoma Park is the closest drop point, but there is a group that are rotating some pickup and sorting duties. “The food is yummy, organic/biodynamic and somewhat local. The shares have a broad range of items: bread, eggs, yoghurt, beans/grains, fruits (dried and fresh) and veggies.”
FAQ
Do you know of any CSAs I can sign up for?
I haven’t used one in DC personally, but here are the ones I have heard of that were recommended by at least one person:
Smallwood’s Veggieporium: They might deliver to Glover Park/Burleith Farmers’ Market or even to our market in 2010. They look lovely.
