NOFA Vermont Announces CSA Open Farm Day

The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont is excited to announce the first CSA Open Farm Day. On Sunday, May 4, 2014 from 1:00–4:00 pm, farms across Vermont will open their greenhouses, barns, and fields to community members. This day is an opportunity for everyone to get to know a local farmer, and falls just before the beginning of most farms’ CSA programs. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, and is a form of direct farm-to-consumer sales in which the customer typically subscribes in the spring to a share of the season’s produce.

Over 40 farms will participate in this year’s CSA Open Farm Day. Farm activities may include tours, demonstrations, product tasting, scavenger hunts, and more. Everyone is welcome to this community event.
