Love getting fresh vegetables weekly from Bright Spot Farms?
Wish you could visit the farm where your veggies are grown?
Want to support our community’s young people while doing something good for yourself and your family?
We're here for you! Bright Spot Farms is a small, nonprofit farm based out of the West End Neighborhood House. Our farm is run by dedicated staff and the young adults in our youth training programs. Together, we grow fresh vegetables using practices consistent with the USDA organic standard, meaning no genetically modified seeds and no harmful pesticides on your vegetables. We grow these vegetables on 2 acres just outside Wilmington on Rte. 13 at the DE State Hospital Herman Holloway Campus (1901 N. DuPont Hwy. New Castle, DE 19720).
What is a CSA and how does it work?:
In a CSA, individuals buy a "share" of the produce grown on a farm at the beginning of the season, which they receive weekly for the duration of the season. It is basically like a subscription to a farm! Customers receive their share of produce in lots of different ways and choose based on what works best for their lifestyle.
Our winter CSA will be distributed every other week on Wednesdays starting on Nov. 4th. There will be five distributions on the following dates:
11/4, 11/18, 12/2, 12/16, 1/6
Our winter CSA will include veggies including (but not limited to)
- Carrots
- Beets
- Radishes
- Turnips
- Kale
- Collards
- Cabbage
- Salad greens
- Scallions
- Onions
- Garlic
- Winter squashes
- Sweet potatoes
- Kohlrabi
This is our first year doing a winter CSA so we are capping at 10 members - don't wait to sign up!
