Dear Friends,
We have all been impacted by COVID-19 and the uncertainties it has created: How long will this last – weeks or months? What will happen to the grocery stores? Will we have access to food? Who will have access to food? At Seed Song Farm & Center, we will have food available for our community throughout this pandemic.
Greens are expected in May, and June 6th is the first day of our Community Supported Agriculture pick-up when people can choose their weekly distribution of fresh, local, seasonal, chemical-free vegetables, herbs, and you-pick flowers. To ensure safe pickup of vegetables during the epidemic, we hope to create a drive-up farmstand at the farm for both CSA members and a la carte purchases.
Seed Song Farm & Center can feed our community, but we cannot do it alone. Please consider contributing to our “Farm Feed your Neighbor” fundraiser to ensure local families in need get our fresh nutritious food throughout the summer, throughout the pandemic. Access to healthy food is a right no one should be denied.
Thank you for considering this critical support of neighbors in need.
Become a 2020 CSA member of Seed Song Farm for a weekly distribution of fresh, local, seasonal, chemical-free vegetables, herbs, and you-pick flowers from the first week of June to the first week of November. Subscribing to the CSA is by far the best value to purchase our produce.

A "vegetable unit" is a farmer-defined quantity of vegetables such as 4-6 ears of corn, a bunch of carrots, a bag of salad greens, or a watermelon (scroll down to see photos of share offerings throughout the 2017 season). If you particularly love kale or some other vegetable, you can choose multiple units of that vegetable (typically there are 1-2 vegetables per week that are restricted to just one unit based on supply). If you don't like a particular vegetable, you don't need to choose that vegetable at all-- though we hope that the taste samples and recipes at distribution will encourage you to experiment with new vegetables throughout the season!
On-Farm You-Pick Opportunities: Vegetables, Herbs & Flowers
CSA members who pickup vegetables on-farm in Kingston will have the opportunity to pick their own vegetables, herbs and flowers in addition to the set number of "vegetables units" for each share size. You-pick vegetables include peas, cherry tomatoes, husk cherries, beans, tomatillos, okra, basil, dill, cilantro, and parsley. We will be growing a wide variety of cut flowers for you-pick flower bouquets, such as sunflowers.
Payment Plan Options & Shares for Low-Income Families
Most CSA shareholders pay the entire amount in advance early in the season when we have a lot of expenses and no vegetables for sale. You can also choose an incremental payment plan where you pay the full amount in two or more payments throughout the season. We also offer a limited number of significantly discounted shares for low income families, and work exchange shares for college student. If you are interested in an incremental payment plan, low-income share discount, or student working share, please email us at info@seedsongfarm.org or leave a message at (845)383-1528.
