Winter CSA
A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a way for people to build a relationship with a farm. By making a financial commitment to a farm, the people become “shareholders” of the CSA and receive weekly baskets of produce. It’s a perfect (and affordable) way to eat healthy and support organic farming.
And this winter, Crunchy Granola Baby has teamed up with Heaven’s Harvest Farm in New Braintree to provide you with a unique opportunity – the chance to become a shareholder in a Winter CSA.
Heaven's Harvest Farm will be introducing the winter share after the holidays, and it will run for eight weeks through January, February and March. Dates and pickup times have yet to be determined, but Crunchy Granola Baby will keep shareholders posted.
*Please Note: You MUST pick up your produce! Although we will donate leftover shares to local shelters, we strongly prefer if you could simply pick up your share. If you absolutely cannot pick up your produce, please arrange for a friend to pick it up or call in advance so we can make prior plans with a local shelter. Thank you.
All produce is guaranteed organic and comes from farms in Florida, North Carolina and locally from Enterprise Farm. Produce will include: apples, arugula, cabbage, carrots, kale, corn, cucumbers, mustard greens, garlic, onions, green beans, oranges, peppers, potatoes, thyme, squash, turnips and tomatoes. Shareholders have a choice between a full and half share.
Prices are as follows:
8 Week Half Share: $240
8 Week Full Share: $352
*Please Note: Half shares are for 2 or fewer people who will not be big veggie eaters. A full share is easily eaten by 2 or more people in a week.
Register at Crunchy Granola Baby as soon as possible. Checks should be made out to Heavens Harvest Farm and dropped off (or mailed) to Crunchy Granola Baby.
Include your:
Name
Address
Phone #
Email
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jennie Cudmore or Amy Tetreault at 978.741.0800 or at crunchygranolababy@verizon.net

Kids Brunch at Rockafellas
Dave Mckillop, owner and manager of the restaurant, said, "Last year’s family brunch was such a success, we’ve decided to make it a permanent holiday event at Rockafellas. It’s a great time for parents and kids alike, and from the holiday music to the guest appearance by Santa, we really feel that it’s a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit and have quality time with your family."
The brunch features omelette, waffle, and meat carving stations, and has standard breakfast items that will satisfy even the pickiest eater.
Activites will also be going on throughout the brunch, including visiting with Santa or having the kids decorate their own sugar cookies at the piano.
For additional information on the Holiday Brunch Family Sing Along, contact Dave Mckillop or send your questions to rock@rockafellasofsalem.com.
