The Allston Brighton Health Collaborative (ABHC) has partnered with Farmer Dave's in Dracut to offer an affordable CSA Farm Share to Allston-Brighton community members, June-October. Members can pay using either their SNAP/EBT accounts or private pay.
• A Farm Share, also known as CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a box of freshly harvested, locally grown fruits and vegetables from a local farm. The items are pre-selected by the farm and based on what's growing and available the week of your farm share pick up.
• The farm will deliver the boxes to Brighton twice each month for members to pick up.
• The size of a share varies throughout the season, starting out lighter at the beginning with more leafy greens and becoming more robust as the season progresses.
• Each share typically will include 5-6 varieties of vegetables and 2-3 varieties of fruit.
WHEN: June - October; 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month, 12pm-4pm
WHERE: Pick up at Brighton Allston Congregational Church 404 Washington St, Brighton, MA 02135
